His first debut was on May 10, 2014, taking on Travis Davidson. Saturday’s bout will determine the first undisputed super middleweight champion in history. In the first fight, many viewers, including myself, felt Alvarez deserved to lose the fight to Golovkin, despite the judges ruling the fight a draw. The bout will occur the weekend after Cinco de Mayo, an important date for Alvarez as a Mexican boxer who is sure to have a heavy contingent of fans in attendance to see him fight. Alvarez doesn't have much on these punches anymore. On Saturday night, globally recognized boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez unified the 168-pound titles, winning an eleventh round knockout over Caleb Plant, a then-undefeated American super middleweight who presented what was the last title holding challenge for the Mexican-born star. Round 9: Alvarez finally wins a round. Later on, he’s going to break him down in the eighth round. An accidental clash of heads caused a brief break soon thereafter, but neither fighter was cut. With Alvarez now sitting atop the division, having unified all of the belts in the division after claiming victories in the division over Rocky Fielding, Callum Smith, Avni Yildirim, Billy Joe Saunders, and Plant, many are now speculating as to what lies ahead for the man who is arguably boxing’s best pound-for-pound fighter.
Boxing’s pound-for-pound king unified three of the four super-middleweight titles by beating Brits Callum Smith and Billy Joe Saunders in the past year. This is the fight that Callum has been waiting for his entire career, and it’s here for him. “If I was doing this for the money, then I woulda jumped on a five-week camp, with four weeks to train, like Callum Smith did. And only one of those men - Smith - actually made it to the end of the fight with Alvarez, dropping a unanimous decision to the champion. However, Golovkin would likely have to move up to 168 pounds to face Alvarez, which could put him at a real disadvantage against the Mexican star. “I would go to Mexico, if they want, as long as they have got a fair square ring,” Saunders said earlier this month, via Sky Sports. She is a Fox Sports Broadcaster along with being an athlete and participated in a 100m hurdles competition. I can see it being a good fight. Plant can fight. He has quick hands and believes as others have that he brings something Canelo has not seen before.

Overall, there are many potential bouts that could be options for Alvarez. There is also the possibility that Alvarez could stay at 168 pounds and face the remaining challengers that super middleweight has to offer. In the second fight, many viewed the fight as one that truly deserved the draw ruling, but Alvarez was handed the victory. Speaking of Floyd and Gervonta, as an aside, I was contacted by a respected regulator who said the Georgia commission really dropped the ball by not confronting Mayweather over his involvement in Davis’ corner during the second half of the fight. Canelo suffered his only loss when he faced Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2013 (via majority decision, Mayweather vs Alvarez), since then he has collected 14 victories and one draw, beating Avni Yildirim (Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Avni Yildirim) and Billy Joe Saunders in his last two (Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders). Avni Yildirim fight card takes place on Saturday, Feb. 27 and kicks off at 20:00 local time on the US East coast, or 1am Sunday morning in the UK on Greenwich Mean Time. Yildirim is promising that he’s not simply showing up to collect a paycheck after a near two-year layoff.
It was a good showing against an opponent who was better than his ranking. “It was obviously a good move for Canelo because we moved very quickly to get it over the line,” Hearn said. Golovkin, who is now 39, still poses a real threat to many fighters in the division and would still likely claim victories over most of the top fighters at middleweight. His next target on Saturday night is to claim the final belt in the division - currently held by America’s Caleb Plant. The Mexican warrior accomplished an incredible feat on Saturday nigh tin Las Vegas with his 11th-round knockout of Caleb Plant to claim the IBF super middleweight title. May 8, 2021: Canelo defeated Billy Joe Saunders to retain his WBA (Super), WBC, and The Ring Super Middleweight titles and won the WBO title from Saunders. The clash will be for Canelo’s WBA (Super), WBC, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles and for Plant’s IBF super middleweight title. Caleb Plant revealed on Friday that he’d be getting back in the ring early next year after his loss to Canelo Alvarez on November 6th. The former IBF super middleweight champion ‘Sweethands’ Plant (21-1, 12 KOs) says he wants “big fights” against David Benavidez, Jermall Charlo, and other top fighters in the sport.
