The American has often baited attacks from opponents with that said same jab only to respond with deft counters and combinations on his way to victory. 'Sweethands' as he is known has a Floyd Mayweather element to him in that his lead hand is often low which again disguises his jab. Plant's defensive skills are also exceptional.

Canelo on the other hand needs no introduction. With a 'fight IQ' that is exceptionally high, he will more than likely be immune to the baiting tactics of Plant. Canelo's footwork and and head movement will undoubtedly lead to him to close distance where he will then have an advantage. Few fighters in history possess the ability that the Mexican has when it comes to operating in the pocket, while evading the entire range of punches from an opponent and punishing them at the same time.

Though Plant is a class act, expect Canelo Alvarez (-1100) to win via knockout.
