Canelo Alvarez: I'll Drop Plants In Less Than 8 Rounds, Easy!

JAKARTA - Ahead of the match against Caleb Plant next month, Canelo Alvarez boasted by saying he would knock out his opponent in less than eight rounds.

In his last fight, Alverez was able to stop Billy Joe Saunders in eight rounds. While previously, Avni Yildirim, only lasted three rounds against the Mexican boxer.

"I'm going to beat this guy in less than eight rounds," Alvarez said on the Morning Kombat podcast. "Easy!"

"Because I know what I have to do, and I know him. So he's a good fighter, but I know my skills and I know my experience will be the best (on) the night."

Canelo and Plant clashed at their first press conference in September when the tense atmosphere turned into a brawl.

The two fighters insulted each other as they stared at each other, supposedly private, while Plant continued to call Alvarez a cheat.

Things heated up, Canelo hit Plant twice. Plant had an injury under his right eye caused by his sunglasses.
