Canelo Alvarez is set to return to the ring, which is usually bad news for the man who will see him standing across the ring.
That man on Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas will be Caleb Plant, a capable, but moderately experienced fighter who is about an 8-1 underdog (average of multiple outlets).
Does Plant have a reasonable chance of winning the pay-per-view fight for the undisputed super middleweight championship?
Depends how you define “reasonable.” He is a quick, athletic boxer with an extensive amateur background and a high ring IQ. However, he’ll be face to face with a beast that is evolving into an all-time great and is in his prime.
Tough assignment.
Here is a break down of the fight.
