Canelo vs. Caleb Plant ?

The world boxing star Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez did not disappoint on his promises and dispatched the Briton Billy Joe Saunders in eight rounds in the presence of 73,126 fans at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

For all the bravery and psychology shown by Saunders prior to the fight, a more close showdown was expected, but Canelo did not allow that and from the first round he came out attacking Saunders’ liver and face. The Briton tried to use his jab to keep the Mexican away without much success.

At the end of the fight, all the judges had the Mexican up, indicating that Saunders had only two options, going out and attacking or dying in the line, and indeed the last one happened, since he succumbed to the strong blows of the Mexican, especially an uppercut to the right cheekbone, which could have led to a possible fracture and was the reason for the end.

This victory earned Canelo the WBO Super Middleweight World Title, added to the WBC 168-pound and the WBA Super Middleweight Super Championship, which he already held.

After the victory and with his sights set on being the undisputed champion, the Mexican challenged American Caleb “Sweet Hands” Plant, who holds the IBF 168-pound crown.

Canelo vs. Billy Joe Alvarez Fight Weights

Billy Joe Saunders and Canelo Alvarez both successfully made weight as they prepare to do battle in tomorrow’s huge super-middleweight unification.

The massive event takes place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday and will be broadcast live on DAZN, as unbeaten WBO super-middleweight champion Saunders (30-0, 14 KOs) looks to cement his legacy by facing WBC and WBA champion Canelo (55-1-2, 37 KOs).

The weigh-in took place on Friday, with Saunders coming in at a ripped and ready 167.8lbs, and Canelo was almost identical at 167.4lbs.

Saunders said: “I have the belief, the spirit and the winning mentality. I don’t come here to lie down, I come here to win. Canelo hasn’t fought someone with as much determination as me. I’ll take all of these titles and take them by storm.

“I’m 30-0 and unbeaten. He has to do something differently to beat me. The key to this fight is I’ve got to be on my A-game and bring my best to the table, as long as I bring my brain, I’ve got it. The fans will push me to win. They’ll be cheering for Canelo, but on the way out they’ll cheer for me.”

“I’m fit, ready and stronger than ever. Everything is in place and it’s going to really show what I’m all about. I’m really excited, there are good fans and we’re fighting in a good arena, so let’s go.”

Canelo vs. Saunders Set to Break Indoor Attendance Record | Boxen247.com

Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders are set to smash the record for the biggest indoor attendance for a boxing event in America as they prepare to meet in a Super-Middleweight unification battle at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday May 8, live worldwide on DAZN and distributed by TV Azteca in Mexico and Latin America.

Alvarez and Saunders already broke the pre-sale records for their clash on Saturday night and with over 65,000 tickets now sold with limited remaining, their tasty battle is set to overtake the rematch between Muhammad Ali and Leon Spinks at the Superdome in New Orleans in 1978 that drew 63,352 fans.

Promoter Eddie Hearn has been the driving force behind some of the biggest crowds in British boxing history, starting with Carl Froch and George Groves at Wembley Stadium in London, and then Heavyweight ruler Anthony Joshua OBE filling the same stadium against Wladimir Klitschko and Alexander Povetkin and also the Principality Stadium in Cardiff against Joseph Parker and Carlos Takam – and Hearn is thrilled to be putting boxing under the best of spotlights on Cinco de Mayo weekend.

“It’s one of the biggest events I’ve ever been involved in and this morning, we officially broke the record for the biggest indoor crowd in American boxing history,” said Hearn.

“We will have 70,000 people in the AT&T Stadium on Saturday night – I am absolutely buzzing for this, I think this could be the best atmosphere we’ve ever seen.

“The numbers for this fight are tracking great, and I think that this is just great for everyone – the biggest live event since the pandemic struck, and boxing has done that. It just shows that when you get it right, we have a monstrous sport on our hands.

“Boxing is being showcased on Saturday. We can be as proud as peacocks on the night as everyone around the world will be watching, they will see the atmosphere and say ‘wow, this is boxing!’ People have to tune in to watch this atmosphere and product and say, ‘this is the place to be’. And everyone watching on Saturday will be in awe of it – the event, the fight, the ring walks, everything.

“I’m excited for Billy to be able to go out there and show what he’s said he’s always been able to do, and I am excited for Saul because the atmosphere for him is going to be incredible – so may the best man win.”

“Very grateful to the people, and the response they have provided. I am proud to bring boxing back to this new normal and I am deeply grateful to everyone involved,” said promoter Eddie Hearn.

On the warpath Canelo commented: “Saunders is a boxer with many skills, apart from being left-handed; but I am not the same as six years ago. I am more mature in the ring. I have been involved in many important bouts, so it’s one more day at the office! I am very happy to be here and as always, we will give one hundred percent. I come to win, boxing is my life and that’s how I take it.”

Trainer Eddy Reynoso said: “We will have a difficult fight against Saunders. They are the two best super middleweight in the world fighting before 70 thousand people. Gathering so many people is a pride and also to be part of this card.”

Saunders, who is supported by the WBC heavyweight champion, The “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury, commented:

“I have boxed my whole life, since I was 5 years old. I have been dragged into the gypsy fields. We can all talk about how difficult our childhood was, but I am here for a reason and it is to win. Canelo has done brilliant things in boxing. He is a good champion, but he has come across the wrong man. On Saturday night we will have a great fight.”

The World Boxing Council, who will present the winner of the fight with the commemorative Mestizo Belt, presented today special recognitions to Canelo and his team.

“I have my own way of facing the fight and ‘Canelo’ will too. I will enter the ring to do my best and seek victory. I am at the top of my form, I have had 30 fights; I am undefeated, I won all the titles, I was a two-weight world champion, so I can say I’m on top, fighting one of the best,” suggested Saunders.

Billy Joe Saunders: I Will Execute My Gameplan

Canelo Alvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders 8/5/21

Billy Joe Saunders says it is all going to be about the brain when he takes on Canelo Alvarez in their huge unification showdown on Saturday.

The highly-anticipated event will be broadcast worldwide on DAZN and takes place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas this weekend, as unbeaten WBO super-middleweight champion Saunders (30-0, 14 KOs) faces WBC and WBA champion Canelo (55-1-2, 37 KOs).

Saunders has been waiting for this moment for his entire life, and he has opened up on what he knows he needs to do in order to claim the historic win.

Saunders said: “This fight is all about the brain. Not about power, muscle or skill, it’s the brain and the game plan, and being able to execute that game plan.

“I brush opinions off because I know what goes through my head and my mind, and what I have done in my career is through the will and want to win, and the day I lose that, I won’t put a pair of gloves on again.

“I can only control what I am in control of and that myself, not what is outside the ring. It’s going to be a great fight it’s one I’ve wanted for years and it’s finally landed. There’s a lot at stake for both of us. Would I like my fans there? Yes. Would I like UK media there? Yes. If the fight was moved to the Mexican border I wouldn’t care.

“I have my own way of approaching the fight and Canelo will have too, he’s done this nearly 60 times. I’ll get in there as the best that I can be and that’s all I can control.

“I’ve been the underdog before, I’ve been the away fighter before, it’s not a new position, but I’m just in with a better opponent this time.

“If I go in there and I win, I’m not going to run and say never again, I’ll fight him again, I’ll fight anyone, anywhere, it doesn’t bother me. It’s good for boxing sometimes when the underdogs come through, and I don’t just mean me here, because it puts the sport on a higher platform to be watched.

“I’m at the top of the tree where I’ve done it all as an amateur, I’ve had 30 fights, I’m unbeaten, won every title coming through, two-weight World champion – I can sit back at night and say I’m top of the pile fighting the pound-for-pound king.”

Canelo Alvarez met the media at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX at the stadium he’ll face Billy Joe Saunders in a blockbuster unification fight on Saturday night (May 8), live worldwide on DAZN and distributed by TV Azteca in Mexico and Latin America.

Alvarez (55-1-2 37 KOs) and Saunders (33-0 14 KOs) lock horns at the home of the Dallas Cowboys for the WBC, WBA Super and WBO titles on Cinco De Mayo weekend, and the Mexican told reporters he is laser focused on the task ahead against the unbeaten Brit.

“He thinks he’ll give me a boxing lesson?,” said Alvarez. “We’ll see. I am not the same guy I was five or six years ago. I have experience, I am a more mature fighter. So he can say whatever he wants, on Saturday night, he is in a different level of fight. I hope that I don’t need the judges on the night.

“We have always been open about what are short and long term plans have been. I want to unify the 168lb division, and Caleb Plant would be next in line to secure that short term goal if successful against Billy Joe Saunders

“The goal is to be undisputed at 168lbs and then we’ll see. I think I could stay at Super-Middleweight until the end of my career. I think I have about seven years left until I retire, but I’m listening to my body and when it tells me to quit, I’ll quit

“Nothing frustrates me, I am just focused on winning on Saturday. He has to fight me on Saturday, that has to happen, it’s not a problem.

“I don’t care about anything; I am just going to go in there and do my job. Saunders has come up with other excuses, he’s had plenty of excuses, but I am just going to go in there and do what I have to do.”

“We have faced everyone, lefties, righties, champions, former champions, so to us this is nothing new,” added trainer Eddy Reynoso.

Alvarez and Saunders clash on a huge night of action in Texas with a stacked undercard in support of the mammoth main event, with Elwin Soto (18-1 12 KOs) defending his WBO World Light-Flyweight title against Katsunari Takayama (32-8 12 KOs).

Kieron Conway (16-1-1 3 KOs) defends his WBA Intercontinental Super-Welterweight title against Souleymane Cissokho (12-0 8 KOs), Eddy Reynoso trained Cuban Heavyweight Frank Sanchez (17-0 13 KOs) meets Nagy Aguilera (21-10 14 KOs), Mexican-American talent Marc Castro (2-0 2 KOs) fights on his third Canelo undercard, Castro’s old amateur foe Keyshawn Davis (2-0 2 KOs) faces Jose Antonio Meza (6-4 1 KO) over six rounds and it’s a family affair on the night with Keyshawn’s brother Kelvin Davis (1-0 1 KO) fights for the second time in the paid ranks, with Mexican Welterweight Christian Alan Gomez Duran (19-2-1 17 KOs) celebrating Cinco De Mayo weekend over eight rounds against an opponent to be named soon.

Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez: I would Beat Floyd Mayweather Today

Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez: I would Beat Floyd Mayweather Today | Boxen247.com

Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders May 8th

World Boxing Council super middle champion Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez will face WBO champion of Britain Billy Joe Saunders on May 8 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Saunders has commented that he is the best fighter Canelo has faced since Floyd Mayweather, who defeated the Mexican by decision in 2013.

“We will see on May 8 if he is the best opponent I have faced. He is a fighter who moves a lot, he is left-handed, with experience. He is supposed to be one of the most difficult opponents, but we’ll see that on fight night,” mused Canelo in an interview with Univision.

Regarding Saúl’s loss to Mayweather, he himself commented: “I would definitely beat him today. It would be a very different fight. I am a more mature fighter. I have more experience and I learned a lot. That loss left me a lot. After losing I promised to become the best and I achieved it. At that moment the lose hurt me a lot because I wanted to win, but only God knows why he does the things he does, ”said Canelo.

If Canelo beats and defeats Saunders, he will potentially fight IBF World Champion Caleb Plant in September.

Canelo & Billy Joe Saunders Meet in Unification Clash on May 8th | Boxen247

Canelo Alvarez will clash with Billy Joe Saunders in a WBC, WBA Super, WBO and Ring Magazine World Super-Middleweight unification blockbuster on May 8, live worldwide on DAZN (except Mexico)

Canelo Alvarez dismantled WBC mandatory challenger Avni Yildirim in three rounds at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami and next he takes a giant step in his quest to become undisputed by facing the WBO king Saunders at a venue to be announced soon.

Alvarez’s win over Yildirim followed hot on the heels of his dominant triumph over Callum Smith in San Antonio, Texas to win the belts he defended this evening, and now another Briton enters the fray to take on the pound for pound king.

Saunders (30-0 14 KOs) will be putting his WBO strap on the line for the third time, after recently sending Martin Murray into retirement following his comprehensive points win over the British stalwart, and the Briton puts his belt and unbeaten record on the line in what promises to be a mouth-watering occasion.

“We want to unify the division, he’s a world champion, we want to go for it and we need to go for it,” said Canelo. “He’s a very difficult fighter and has a championship, the WBO.

“People talk but I’m a very mature fighter and I know how to control myself. All I need to do is go into the ring, win and make history.”

“It’s because it hasn’t been done, no one has done it in Latin America. In the world only a few fighters have done it, the best. I want to make history and be one of the best in the world.”

“Canelo, I’m ready to rock and roll,” said Saunders. “You have to dare to be great and you aren’t going to be a great if you don’t beat the greats.

“I believe I am the only one with the footwork, knowhow, skillset, mindset and brain to unlock that door in Canelo.

“He’s the main man in the sport and the face of boxing. You have to give him respect, he hasn’t ducked anyone, he’s beaten good names, but nobody is unbeatable, and I believe I have got the tools to beat him if I use them properly and if the gamelan comes off that I believe works.

“I am looking at the golden ticket to cement my legacy, and that’s how you have to go in there to beat him. I’ve won everything from Southern Area to World titles, I could say ‘I’ve won it all, been to the Olympics, I’m unbeaten – I’ll see you later’. But I’ve only just turned 31, I’ve got no miles on the clock, haven’t taken any punishment – I believe he’s been in harder fights than me and has more miles, so I want to cement my legacy and beat him.”

“This is one of the biggest fights in the sport of boxing,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “The pound-for-pound king on the road to undisputed against the unbeaten champion who has long believed he can overcome him. After missing a chance to fight and celebrate on Cinco de Mayo last year this is going to be very special, we look forward to welcoming you for this momentous event.”

“Canelo vs. Saunders is a fascinating matchup of champions with massive international appeal,” said Ed Breeze, DAZN EVP, Rights. “From what we expect to be a fiery promotion to the competition in the ring, we’re thrilled to deliver this fight to DAZN subscribers across the world.”
