In this very special All Access clip, boxing expert analyst Peter Kahn, joins us to discuss this weekend's big match: Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant.
Canelo (56-1-2, 38 KOs) is a huge -900 favorite. Plant would pay out $600 for every $100 bet with the upset. Plant is the IBF champ.
The winner will be the undisputed world champion at 168 pounds, holding all four major sanctioning bodies’ title belts.
That’s something no super middleweight has ever done. Only five male boxers have ever done it at any weight since the feat became possible in 1988.
Plant persevered and built a career worthy of a shot at Álvarez, the golden ticket for any fighter in several weight classes.
“I’ve been the underdog before,” Plant said. “It’s a place I like to be. I like people rooting against me. It gives me extra motivation. But when you’re fighting for undisputed status, you don’t need much more motivation than that.”
