His first in-ring victim, Callum Smith, has left the 168 lbs division after losing the WBC and WBA strap to the Mexican star in December 2020. Will Caleb Plant do the same?

Caleb Plant has all the chance to return stronger

Having faced Canelo Alvarez, Plant clearly has learned a lot from his sole career loss. While he couldn’t survive for all 12 rounds, the American fighter did better than what Billy Joe Saunders had done against Alvarez. He looked sharp in the first stage and made it to the championship rounds.

But Plant should have carried more into his gas tank. As Alvarez sensed him to have lost all the energy in round 11, the Mexican star went for the kill. Plant could get back to his feet but was already way too harmed to continue. Now though, he can utilize all the lessons in his next fight and look to re-capture the world championship status.
