Canelo looked about as bothered by Plant as you would be with a pesky mosquito buzzing about. If I had any knock on Canelo it would be his total indifference to Plant’s offense. It would be called defensive indifference in baseball, Teddy Atlas would say he wasn’t being defensively responsible. Canelo would probably say something to the effect of “why should I even bother with his pitty pat offense?” And who could blame him?
Canelo philosophically has issues with boxers like Plant because he clearly could give two shits about getting hit by someone with Plants punching power. He didn’t really get phased when GGG hit him, why should he care if he gets pitti patted by Plant? Canelo has a neck the size of a telephone poles d can take more punch than Plant has to dish out without even blinking. I saw one body shot that moved Canelo. One shot. All night
I was feeling that at points Plant was scoring well with clean punches, but Canelo was driving the show and slowly turning up the pressure. That Plant lasted so long was a testimony to his excellent defensive skills. Great win for Canelo, and Plant’s stock goes up in my book for keeping Canelo at bay as long as he did.

“There are levels to this”
I think Caleb Plant is about to find out he is a coupla levels down from Canelo. I mean, most everyone is…..
