Canelo Alvarez-Caleb Planet Takeaways

Caleb Plant held his own against the world No. 1 

Even though no one expected him to last as long as he did, Caleb Plant was able to hold his own against the undisputed champ and despite his most valiant efforts he was unable to avoid being knocked out. His elusive and tenacious fighting style allowed him to go toe-to-toe with the mighty Canelo and make things interesting for the majority of the fight.

However, in the 11th round he finally broke down and couldn't withstand the power and endurance of Alvarez which led to his knock down late in the fight. If anything's true from this bout, it's that Plant is a much better fighter than he was previously given credit. He really did prove all the haters wrong, and in his next fight he can definitely be expected to come away as the victor.

Canelo Alvarez is the best pound-for-pound fighter 

Coming off another statement win this weekend, Canelo Alvarez has officially claimed his stake as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. This also marks the first time that Canelo has won all four belts in one weight class all the while handing Plant his first career loss. It may have taken him longer than planned, but his perseverance paid off with a timely TKO in the 11th round that won him the fight.

After not letting up and going all out with a series of combination punches, hooks, and upper cuts, Canelo came through when it mattered the most and pulled off another big win. With the way things are looking right now, it doesn't seem like Canelo's going to be slowing down anytime soon. So with that we shouldn't expect Canelo to cross paths with a worthy opponent anytime in the near future, but then again nobody really took Plant seriously ahead of their super middleweight title fight and that wound up being a real thriller.

As he continues his streak of dominance, Canelo Alvarez will make sure that he never underestimates his opponent while continuing to persevere and deliver one big blow after another. Now sitting amongst the all-time greats in boxing lore, Alvarez is bound to set even more records and prolong his title defenses in the process of doing so.
