Well tonight, that is exactly how it played out at the MGM Grand Garden, as 👑🇲🇽Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (57-1-2, 39KO👊) found himself in a highly competitive chess match with a version of 🇺🇸Caleb “Sweethands” Plant (21-1-0, 12KO👊) that he felt to be a bit slicker than he had anticipated, and had some interesting moments in his favor.

The amount of pressure that Canelo was supplying however from the third round on, was slowly mounting to a ⛰️climax, and Alvarez finally found his opportunity to close the show, putting Plant down twice in the 11th, to get the highlight knockout victory, becoming the Undisputed RING / WBA / WBC / WBO / IBF Champion of the World, making history in the process as the first to do so.
