Saul Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KO) and Caleb Plant (21-0, 12 KOs) kicked off media week of Saturday's four-belt super middleweight fight in Las Vegas. The American underdog promised to make a sensation, and the Canelo favorite assured him that their recent fight at the press conference would not throw him off balance, but only motivate him.
“The bookmakers' bets are just bets, they do not show what is in the soul and in the head. I used to be an outsider more than once, and the bookmakers were wrong. Numbers are just numbers, for me the main thing is wrestling, training and discipline, - said Plant after his ceremonial arrival at the MGM Grand, where the fight will take place. - If I didn't feel that I was going to defeat him, I would not be here! You will see for yourself on Saturday. Instead of talking about it, I'll show it! "
“For me this fight is a private matter, but I have a strong psyche, and I will use this anger against him. In the end, my skills will still count. Plant is a good fighter, he fights well, but I've fought such people before. I will use my experience and talent and play it. I will finish the fight in 7-9 rounds, ”Canelo promised confidently.
In the US, a boxing night in Las Vegas will be streamed pay-per-view on Showtime.
