Caleb plant believes undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez is not the same fighter. He was four years ago when he knocked out in the 11th round in 2021. Plant (23-2, 14 COs) believe it will beat Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs) if they fight now, and he hopes to earn a Remat by regaining Jose arms. Charlo.
Alvarez’s fight against Terence Crawford in September could become acidic. He must win that battle to keep his career going. The last three fights of Canelo showed signs of sliding, struggling against William Scull, Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia.
Plant sees its chance
The ominous performance Canelo moved into Riyadh against IBF champion Scull in Riyadh last Saturday night. Canelo threw only 152 strokes in the 12-round fought, with 56 for a 36.8%connection rate. Throwing the few blows into an entire fight showed that Alvarez began to lose it.
Plant has its own problems that it has to worry about with his fight against Resendiz (15-2, 11 COs) this month at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. Resendiz, 26, is young and can punch. He may benefit from plant’s age and ring clothes because he was injured and dropped by Trevor McCumby in September last year.
“I don’t think it’s the same Canelo. Not quite, but I thought it was going to be that way, ”Caleb plant for the media When asked if the Canelo Alvarez he saw against William Scull last Saturday, it was the same as he fought in 2021. The question is whether Alvarez has decreased physically over the past four years.
Plant is friendly by saying “not quite”, and you wonder if he was careful with his wording so he wouldn’t upset Canelo. It is not a good idea to get to the bad side of Alvarez, because he tends to ignore fighters who talk him behind his back.
“I heard him say in an interview,” I don’t like guys moving around so much. “William Scull as a Cuban fighter, I knew he would do it,” Plant said. “I was curious to see how Canelo would handle it. He cut off the ring well, but I felt that the man didn’t really want no part. ‘
Canelo did not do its part to facilitate the fight with Scull by aggressively attacking and pushing. He opposed Scull several times, and it took away a lot of his aggressiveness.
“It makes him not a fight, but he still fought in September,” Plant said of Canelo’s clash against Crawford. “So we’ll see. I believe so, yes, “Caleb said when asked if Canelo was getting older, he believed he had a better chance of beating him now. “Once we fought, I was like” if we fight again the next day, I’m going to hit him, “Plant said about his fight against Canelo in 2021.
The way plant looked in that battle was no adjustments he could have made to defeat Canelo in a re -broadcast. His only chance to beat Canelo is if he develops a Superman punch, which will never happen.
Rematch -Ambitions
“That’s how I feel. I feel like a few minor adjustments, I get the job done, ‘plant said about what he feels to have to defeat Canelo in a rematch. “It’s a stylistic match, and William Scull doesn’t fight anything like Terence Crawford. So we are not going to see the same battle in September. I think we’re going to see a big fight. “
It may not be a big fight if Crawford prefers to box and move as his coach talks about what he wants to do. He was outside for a year and looked bad in his last fight against Israel Madrimov.
“All the top super -middleweights are on my radar. I want to fight the best, ‘the plant said when asked if he would target Crawford if he defeated Canelo to catch the undisputed Super Middleweight Championship. “You can say, ‘There are weight classes for a reason’, but Crawford is a special guy. I’m a fan on that one. “
