How will Canelo beat Caleb Plant??

Bodywork & counter right hands until Plant's corner throws in the towel. Mid Rds. That's kind of how I think it will play out, but more like UD all 12 rds

Points, maybe late stoppage. Canelo isn’t a huge puncher. He could land at Callum smith at will, never dropped him or hurt him. He landed a punch on Saunders that caused a freak injury that wouldn’t happen if they fought another 99 times, but never looked like he could drop him. He could never hurt Jacobs who’s been knocked out before and dropped many times. Never hurt Cotto who had been hurt by smaller fighters and the list goes on. The only person he’s put on the floor in years is Yildirim and even Eubank Jr stopped him in the same amount of time or quicker. Canelo is a very sharp puncher, but not huge power. He can obviously bang a bit, but against decent level fighters, he never looks like really putting them out with a big shot or anything, rarely even wobbles them. That said, when Plant beat Uzcátegui, although he won, It look like you could get to Plant down the stretch if you applied enough pressure. So I could see a late stoppage Not a huge puncher... Thats a loaded statement (in a good way). Here is where some more subtle things come into play. Canelo is fighting at a weight obviously. at 168 he has power to spare...but Plant has some size to him. Plant is more natural to the weight, lets remember that canelo has fought at many different weights. HIs power is there, but Plant should have the size to not be blown apart by the power. Your analysis about the nature of Canelo's power is spot on... And what occurs to me Psychologically speaking... even if this is a hybrid division, Plant is established and has fought in it primarily. Canelo is in the division and most people think he has peaked here... Caleb Plant is right for the weight and is very comfortable at the weight...

Clenelo is missing a ruptured liver on his recent rap sheet, so I'm going with that. 7 rnd KO via a brutal body liver rupturing shot :boxing:

They're fighting in Vegas. Alvarez doesn't have to beat Plant, Plant has to beat Alvarez.

Canelo has the power and as people say... he is a boxer puncher with the punch of a pure boxer and the boxing skill of a premier boxer. This means he has many conceviable ways to win the fight...rather than point these out, which is something many others have done admirably, I would like to point out some of the fallicies I see with making Canelo such a favorite in this fight. While its true that Canelo CAN win the fight in many ways, he cannot necessarily win them using all those ways. He will have a sense of what strategy he wants to implement and use one primary strategy, with the intention of going back to the toolbox if he is not intitially succesful. In so doing, rounds will pass, and if his initial strategy is wrong, Plant's confidence will grow, rounds will (in theory) go to Plant...etc. Of course the judges love Canelo... but that is another issue. In actuality? Canelo is probably going to try to blast Plant out of there. That is really the only strategy that Plant has to prepare for... If Canelo fails to do this, and it is obvious he is compromised in so doing... Canelo can start to box, and use his other skills but Plant at that point will have minimized a lot of strenghts regarding Canelo and brought him down to earth (so to speak). Plant has not faced someone as good as Canelo... True. But that does not mean he will falter. It is simply a case of him being ready, or not ready to face Canelo. Canelo is not unbeatable. I like the Trout fight in particular to illustrate how Canelo can be outmanuveured by a really good and mobile fighter who makes it hard for Saul to stay in the pocket. Plant is imo a lot like Trout... It remains to be seen if he can do what Trout did against Canelo. Plant has some advantages given that his style is not one that Canelo handles particularly well. If I am Plant, I prepare for an initial onslaught, I keep mobile, try to come in at angles that are hard to counter (change the usual distance on any punch by throwing it at an acward angle). I want to keep Canelo off balance and from setting up in the pocket. In so doing, i have to watch Canelo's counter punching. As I get Canelo more frustrated, I can take more chances.... I am looking for a moral victory because I am not KOing Canelo and no judge will give me a decision. Great breakdown. I mean, no fighter is unbeatable, that's obvious. I got Canelo winning but I would not be surprised if Plant wins. I can't wait!!

Hell break him down man. Fight stopped early due to massive hematoma or easy unanimous decision. Which ever way, he will coast to victory. My girl cousin said "damn pretty boy your gonna get your face messed up for ten million dollars". In hindsight she was right, check out the laceration from the squirmish at the press conference. squirmish lmao

Well said man That's true, and the laceration Plant got was in about 2 seconds wow!! Imagine what Canelo will do round after round ouch!! I mean, I think Plant will have some success, but as Canelo said in the press conference, he's on another level man squirmish lmao

Canelo wins by brutal 6th round KO and I can not wait to watch it!!!!!! I mean a lot of people are calling for a KO win over Plant. I don't deny it, I mean I think it is more probable for Plant corner to throw in the towel or the ref to call it a TKO before and actual KO.

By DQ. Jordan Plant's gonna throw her 6 inch heels at Canelo while he's unloading on her husband along the ropes. Ref will have no choice but to wave it off. Hahaha, wow man

Canelo may be overlooking Plant imo I mean that is a possibility, maybe Canelo is a little too confident. That can be a downfall for Canelo

I know right? Considering how Dominant Canelo has looked since the Second GGG fight, its hard to not see him as always being a big favorite. Canelo without a doubt will win, just a matter of how dominant he will be Yeah, it's fight week now and I can't freaking wait!!

I just had to give Canelo at least an unofficial win for that. Plant went in like he was about to f*** Ginger Boy up, and Canelo, dodged, and slapped him senseless before he even knew what was happening. Nash out. Great points man. Now just imagine 12 full rounds of that action, i think Plant will be left with a nice busted up face and lacerations. Ouch man!!

never underestimate the force of the Roids! Ouch man, LOL

Many people think Canelo will walk down Plant. Yet, I have a different perspective, I think Canelo will do a lot of what he was doing when he fought Daniel Jacobs. His head movement and standing with Jacobs was amazing. I don't think Canelo will ONLY walk Plant down, him standing in the middle, to-to-toe to a degree will probably be key. How do you see Canelo winning? At the same time, maybe you think Plant will win. If so, How will Plant win?
