Canelo and Plant embarrassed themselves. Plant because he took a good slapping and Canelo for trying to pretend that he didn't know the meaning of motherfucker.

Canelo lives in San Diego and isn't 10 years old so he knows that the word has nothing to do with his actual mother.

If you're not sure because he's Mexican then have a look at what he called Andrade for trying to take over the Saunders post-fight press conference (4 lines up from the bottom of the article)...

Ozzy - You make an excellent point. Canelo lost some credibility. He must think fans are either naive or uninformed.

I bet Plant checks himself from here on out whenever he uses the word again. it is not the word it is who you are saying it to that makes it carry weight. Saul chose 168 for a reason and part of that reason is guys like Plant and the two guys he mentioned. Ozzy I would never MF you online or in person simple stuff. Those two guy were on that stage to kick off a Professional Fight not a spelling bee...........

Aye - well it has nothing to do with spelling, that much is true.

Things said at press conferences are not always about selling the fight.

But if Canelo WAS referring to his mother because he thought this would in some way make the fight more saleable on PPV then it was a weak assumption as all he's done is make himself look childish.

No amount of slapping and pretend moral indignation will sell this fight - not when the winner appears to be so obvious and the PPV is rumoured to be around $75.

I have to agree it had to be about selling the fight that is why they do those things I would believe anyhow. Yep I am with you on not buying into this fight at all. Was a time when a PPV might have needed but those days have passed esp with this card but that is a topic for another day I suppose. Maybe some people think bc a fight is PPV it will be a better fight? I dont know. Thanks for the kick back.

Canelo just proved to all of the whiny Boxing Fans. Why he DESERVES to always be up by couple of points before the fight even starts. Canelo 10-8 đŸ¤£

He's up by more than that whenever he's in Nevada.
