Canelo Alvarez proved his worth as the best super-middleweight in the world yet again. The multi-weight world champion showed his class with another victory, this time over fellow champion Billy Joe Saunders. Saul had a clear message for Caleb Plant after the fight.

Alvarez and Saunders fought as the main event of an exciting card. Their fight lived up to expectations. The two champions treated fans to an incredibly technical fight. Alvarez won the bout thanks to a right uppercut which caused Saunders’ eye to swell.

After the fight, the 56-1-2 boxer spoke to Chris Mannix in his post-fight interview. About his next move, Alvarez addressed the Caleb Plant rumors. He said, “That’s the plan. That’s the plan to go for the belt. And, I’m coming man, I’m coming my friend.”

This showed the champion’s eagerness to etch his name in boxing history. Alvarez also exhibited his desperation for the fight when he said, “I hope so. I hope that fight [is] made easy and then give the fans the first undisputed [super-middleweight champion] in the history.”

This comment showed that the champion is looking to etch his name in the history books, rather than picking easy fights.
