Best bets for Canelo Alvarez vs. Caleb Plant​

ESPN PLUS $ MATERIAL

On Saturday, Canelo Alvarez (56-1-2) defends his WBA/WBC/WBO super middleweight titles against IBF champion Caleb Plant (21-0), in a unification match to crown the first ever undisputed super middleweight champion in the four belt era.

Plant, 29, has 12 KOs and three successful defenses of his IBF championship heading into this match, but Alvarez will be his most experienced opponent by far. Alvarez, with 38 KOs on his résumé will be making his fourth defense of the WBA title, third of the WBC first of the WBO belt.


Canelo Alvarez (-1250) vs Caleb Plant (+800)​



Canelo Alvarez will be looking to keep his dominance alive as he takes on Caleb Plant. Plant is a very talented boxer who is undefeated and will be looking to shock the world if he is able to do what only Floyd Mayweather has done and solve the puzzle that is Canelo Alvarez.

anelo is currently sitting as the -1250 favorite and for good reason. He is a high IQ boxer, with incredible speed and strength, and only continues to get better every time he steps in the ring. Does Canelo win this fight ... yes, however at -1250 that is way too much juice to lay on a straight wager. Canelo is not the type of fighter to look for the KO if it is not there, he allows it to happen naturally with the flow of his punches.

I see this fight going over the 9.5 round mark (-125) as I believe Plant's speed and angles will keep him from getting knocked out earlier on. Plant doesn't carry the power of Canelo, so if he is to get the upset, it would be by a decision, however Canelo is better everywhere and will fight a smart fight in order to get the win.

Prediction: Over 9.5 rounds
