[Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant

[Fredomago]

Decent fight last night canelo looked good.  For me plant gambled to much by staying inside him all night.  Think if he stayed back and just waited to counter he might have been able to catch canelo in a spot or 2.  Either way plant put up a good fight but canelo was just too much for him. 

I don't think he can do that all night or all through the course of the fight, the body punches are just too much, Canelo invested in the body punches in the early rounds so he can cash out in the latter rounds, this has been his strategy on all his fights and unfortunately for his opponents they cannot solve it, they will eventually stop dancing around in the later rounds because of fatigue caused by early body punches.
I love to watch Canelo because of his game plan that he can execute perfectly, new boxers can learn from his style.

As I said it before, Canelo is really great in planning his strategy, opponent unknowingly think that he is just throwing punches but inside his mind, the perfect executions will come up in the deeper part, he just simply amazing, on the other hand, it's not a bad fight for Plant he tried to hold on and be the best fit for this challenge, almost making it to the decision round but unfortunately he can no longer hold on.

Congrats Alvarez fans Though ML is not that much but still, a win is a win and you can now celebrate with more beers on the table, that's the added entertainment after the fight was done.

First and foremost, I commend Caleb Plant for standing his ground against the sheer power, strength, and accuracy of Canelo Alvarez. The whole boxing rounds, Canelo was putting constant pressure against Caleb. Though the latter was able to withstand most of the power punches of the former, he yielded on round 11 after that left hook that ultimately caused him the entire round.

It is such a privilege to witness the sheer dominance of Canelo in his weight division. This is the person who continued to dominate boxing and he showed his superior skill and prowess to everyone.

Caleb is the best opponent Canelo has faced in the super middleweight he is good in the early rounds he rolled Canelo's punches and he has a good defense, the fight was unpredictable going in the sixth round but Caleb is in different territory going to the seventh round where Canelo started to show his dominance, it's a game of endurance and gameplan, Caleb should be proud of this fight he shows heart it's just the body punches did a lot of damage, we'll still see more of Plant in the future.

When posed with that question, the camp of Caleb might have a hard time thinking of a specific boxing ability or quality of their fighter which makes him better than Canelo. They would neither reveal their strategy in taking up against Canelo. That's probably why they just give a somewhat vague answer in saying they are fully prepared and ready. I agree though. They cannot be less than 100% ready in facing Canelo. Canelo has everything to defeat Caleb.

This is very important for both fighters and Caleb opted not to give any hint on what he is going to do, it's better that way that you left your opponent guessing what you are going to do, he might have a change of strategy or style and he wants to keep it until the start of the round, whatever change of strategy I still have Canelo winning but I never rule out an upset or a surprise coming from Plant.

it could be as you say but canelo is one of the most experienced and terrible boxers. it will be very difficult for the plant to be able to make something that is difficult to predict especially when the match is getting closer.
it will be very exciting but if you choose it is true that canelo is the winner even though it takes time and maybe the match will last until the last round.

The likelihood of seeing this fight last in 12 rounds is low based on the betting odds available in the market.

In one of the bookies I'm using, here are the odds that support my statement.

Canelo to win by KO 1.57
Canelo to win by decision 2.85

So you see, you'll get more money if you bet on Canelo to win by decision, which means the chances are lower compared to him getting a KO win.

most likely that will happen, because judging by the strength of canelo with such a strong hit with caleb plant with the speed he has I think it will most likely last up to 12 rounds.
but it will be interesting to see if the plant is able to keep up with canelo because it is true that canelo is still superior from all sides.
apart from that I hope there is something interesting in this match especially for the plant defense which Canelo will surely corner.

[SUPERSAIAN]

I can't wait to watch this fight. The two fighters are very strong men based on their previous fights .  For this match I can't predict who will be the winner but I know canelo he is good fighter with tough punch. Let me wait to  see till the end of this fight .

You don't need to predict because the fight is over and we know the winner.

It was Canelo who won the fight and he is now the unified champion, also, he made history beating Plant in this fight.
The start was good, Plant had a chance but eventually, Canelo found the right strategy to beat Plant and knock him out.

I guess you should watch the replay now.

Actually, like many people, I didn't think the plant would last that long. All that kept Plant up was its mobility and swinging combos, but it wasn't as effective as a hit. Alvares led the game with good strategy and in the 11th round he finished off the plant with explosive hits. it was a good match. So Alvarez proved it, he is invincible.

No doubt his fans are also proud of how far he managed to stand, he keeps his ground, and he really put up a good fight.

It was Alvarez who manifested all the hard work in the early rounds. He just allow Plant to keep moving and have a good exchange of punches.

But behind that, he is just generating and developing what inside his mind. What we have seen is a good tactic that's built in inside Alvarez

mind, slowly but very effective fighting strategy.

Caleb Plant is a product of Floyd Mayweather camp and so is the reason he showcased some of the skills he learned by rolling the punches but i knew that the heavy body punches would expose him and that is what happened in the fight, the constant body punches had an impact and in the later rounds Canelo Alvarez was able to tag him and did not allow him to recover and finished the fight in the 11th round.

We all knew who would win the fight but when the fight went into the 11th round i was worried because i placed a bet on Canelo Alvarez to win by knockout and i thought it would reach a decision thereby loosing my bet, but then he was able to turn the fight around and after getting the first knockdown i knew Canelo Alvarez would swarm him and finish him off and that is what we saw. Canelo Alvarez wanted to punish Caleb Plant for talking shit and he did exactly that and then finished him in the end.

Caleb Plant, although seems really struggling throughout the match, stands still at the end. Almost a decision and close to avoiding losing on being Knock Out. Bettors who placed a bet for the decision were almost a win but Canelo spoiled it. Congratulations to Canelo being an undisputed super-middleweight champion who currently holds 4 titles in different weight classes.

Also, congrats to bettors who put bets for Canelo winning by TKO despite being considered as low odds.

Yes, he fought really well and he deserved to fight Canelo although we can tell who really is the better fighter. I can't believe the fans, Plant still receives boos on his exit going to his locker room. Anyway, not only on those on the TKO, also those who bet on the over 9.5 and 10.5 as the fight ended in round 11.

Right, even before the faithful knock down, Caleb Plant looks really strong in taking Canelo's punches.

But once Canelo hit that target, Caleb's body just gave in and goes down. Alvarez is ahead on all of the judges scorecard so there is a possibility that he will win by a decision.

Props to Caleb as well, he really stood there and fight his hearts out, gave everything and we can see that Canelo is not comfortable in the first couple of rounds.

I salute those bettors who put a bet on Winning Rounds. It's difficult to predict what round the fight will end in favor of someone. Since betting on Canelo either in Moneyline or Win by Decision is not profitable, others are forced to bet on other betting options.

I forgot, I also salute those who bet on Caleb Plant's high odds. That was worth a try. Even losing your bet, you watched a spectacular fight. This will be my last post at the thread before it will be locked.

Yes, it is not that easy to predict the round in which it gets the result. From my view from the fourth round onwards Canelo have been progressing continuously. On every further round he had been making some strong punches with style. This showed the winning chance, but not the exact round for the result. It was nice to see him saying we want result when asked about the moving up for 175lbs.

I forgot, I also salute those who bet on Caleb Plant's high odds. That was worth a try. Even losing your bet, you watched a spectacular fight. This will be my last post at the thread before it will be locked.

The fight could could completely turn in a single punch, so trying their luck over the high odds is not a big thing.

Alvares led the game with good strategy and in the 11th round he finished off the plant with explosive hits. it was a good match. So Alvarez proved it, he is invincible.

Before the fight, I never would have imagined the Canelo to KO Plant, i guess the thought of becoming the FIRST UNDISPUTED SUPER-MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION must have fuel Canelo's hunger to win the fight. He has really proven himself and shown that he is not the world's best pound for pound fighter for nothing. He worked Plant and watched for sign of weakness, immediately Canelo noticed that Plant had been hurt, he took full advantage and went for the KO, Great Strategy, Great Fight.

Indeed and I enjoy this fight. Canelo is unstoppable and we can see his power and determination. I wont be surprise if he became one of the best mexican boxers in his generation. On the other side, Plant managed to protect his body and last to 11 rounds. I think he is a good boxer as well and I believe he can still redeem himself since there are still opportunity for him to show what he got.

Well if you have followed everything leading up to the fight, Canelo was really mad at Caleb and he says this is personal. And we all know that if a fighter takes it like that, there will be a knock out.

But indeed, it was a pleasure in our lifetime to see two great fighters, Manny Pacquiao - 8 division champ. And now we have Canelo Alvarez of Mexico, perhaps now the greatest Mexican boxers of all time. Maybe surpassing JCC Sr, and then Barrera or Marquez. (at least Mexican boxers that I have seen in my lifetime).

[Fundamentals Of]

That was a great win for Canelo Alvarez. It was not just another ordinary win in his record to celebrate. There is another big reason for a bigger celebration and that is because Canelo is already an undisputed champion. He is the only undisputed champion in the whole history of super middleweight. That is amazing.

As to the fight itself, it was not really that exciting. The whole fight was Canelo's. Caleb didn't give much challenge to Canelo. He only won a few rounds. He didn't hurt Canelo at all.

That's correct, as usual, the early rounds are for his opponent but when he heats up and begins to find this rhythm things would be then in his favor until the last round of the game, whether it's a KO or through judges' decision. Canelo has made his name in boxing already but he is still young, so I'm expecting him to have more fights and probably moving up would be a good idea for a tougher challenge.

There is a difference between mediocre boxer and a very good boxer when they get mad. Very good boxers don't usually knock their opponents down by making careless aggressive moves, instead they are carefully doing the aggressiveness to make it more accurate that will potential floor the opponent.
And I have seen this both from Canelo and Manny.
They are indeed the two best gladiator of our generation.
Manny knew how good Canelo is, that's the reason why he want his son training with Canelo.

If I have a son who wants to learn how box I'll pick Canelo or Pacquiao to train my son, they have calculated aggressiveness and they are both exciting to watch we don't want anymore Mayweather who hit and run, this is the new breed of boxers that we want to have, calculated aggressive and don't back out, there's a saying style makes the fight, people will always pay to see Canelo box, he brings the glory of boxing back he wants to put the results in his hands instead of the judges.
