I watched the 12minute highlight reel. Canelo walked him down, cut the ring off. Plant showed some nice jabs, but it seemed like at anytime- Canelo could have put his foot on the gas tank as Caleb made it clear he prefferred to back away & counter. Saw a round where Canelo went to the ropes (seemed like on his own) and he still was dominant.


Plant is a good boxer, but I think this shows how dominant Alvaraz has become. He can fight backing up, he can take the fight to his foe.


as far as the board's take...well I, the self-professed resident researcher.. @Spicoli has the most ground covered on Plant. His threads IMO were clear
1. Plant is a damn good boxer.
2. Just don't think he is in Canelo's league.

At one point he gave credit to Plant for wanting Canelo so soon- but Spicoli questioned where this confidence comes from.

Last- I didn't care for Plant's response the next day, he didnt even mention Canelo's name. Yeah he can come back...so as long as Canelo aint around.


Congrats- Anytime a fighter cleans their division out- that should be the record(s) fighters want to break or set.
