Caleb Plant Gives Honest Take On Terence Crawford’s Chances Against Canelo Alvarez

Speaking to Ariel Helwani ahead of his fight against Jose Armando Resendiz this weekend, Caleb Plant said:

I give him a shot. I don’t know who wins and honestly there’s weight classes for a reason right, but at the same time Terence is a special person with special abilities, special mental fortitude, special strength.

You can’t put too much past Terence Crawford, especially once he’s got his mind made up and he really wants it. Let's see, I think both have things that fall in their favour, but that’s what makes this so interesting.

He added:

I feel like this Crawford-Canelo matchup will be a lot more fan friendly. Bud's not gonna be running around the ring for 12 rounds, I can assure you. That's not in his blood and obviously, not in Canelo's either. So, I think it's gonna be a fan friendly fight.

Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford have a total 108 professional fights between them, including 70 knockouts, and both are four-division world champions. Crawford has held the undisputed titles in 140 lbs and 147 lbs. Canelo, meanwhile, is a two-time undisputed super middleweight champion.

Crawford mostly relies on his instincts and skill to make his opponents pay. Alvarez, meanwhile, is well-rounded, boasting power, great body shots, and tremendous head movement. Overall, it promises to be a fight not to be missed.
