Our Picks:
Canelo Alvarez to beat Caleb Plant @ 1/12
Canelo Alvarez to beat Caleb Plant on points @ 9/4
Will the fight go the distance? – Yes @ 15/8
Canelo last fought in May 2021 when he beat Billy Joe Saunders when his corner threw the towel in because of a fractured orbital bone. That shows the punching power Canelo has. Plant is no walkthrough and will definitely put up a fight. He holds the IBF belt, so he is definitely dangerous. He won the title back in 2019 when he defeated Jose Uzcategul by unanimous decision. He has since defended his title three times against Mike Lee, Vincent Feigenbutz and Caleb Truax.
Canelo is more experienced than Plant and that shows with the fighters he has gone up against. Plant has a professional record of 21 fights, 21 wins with 12 coming by way of knockout. Canelo has won 38 of his fights by knockout.
We all know the power Canelo possesses. We don’t think the American will win the bout, but we do see it going the distance or at the very least a late stoppage. We am backing Canelo to win by unanimous decision, but Plant will do himself proud and give Canelo his hardest fight for years.
