plant is an absolute idiot to react to a shove with a closed fist punch.
that ahit wasn't staged, he defo tried to connect. that's braindead, risking the fight. if he'd landed on nelo's iron cast jaw he could've fucked up his hand and the fight.
they just would've moved on to the next guy in line. no shortage of those.

Canelo's ones weren't even slaps, those were more like opened palm shots, old school Pancrase stuff, Bas Rutten approves.
Good observation.
Canelo planted some fear in Plant's mind for the fight. But man, Canelo has cat reflexes and he's a sharp counter puncher.

Imagine if Plant would've hit with his foot Canelo's balls.

was a slap by plant, didn't get that at first glance.
would've been really too stupid to put his hands at risk.
i take back the 'braindead idiot' like if somebody cared.
Well, indeed Canelo is annoyed about that subject but as long he's tasted and he's clean it's all ok. Let's not forget that Canelo gives these guys massive paydays for their straps.
I think Canelo is a good man and everybody does mistakes as we are human beings.

It was more than insults about ped use. Plant called him a mf, and Canelo took at an insult to his mom. Canelo used the same language with Andrade.
Plant verbally evicerating Canelo and showing no fear has Canelo rattled. Who wins the fight though is a given, unless Plant can KO Canelo. We have seen many outrageous scorecards in Canelos favor. Canelo will get the decision, whether he deserves it or not. DQ is Plants only hope.
This was so scripted or am I wrong? Here we have two fantastic boxers, 1 of them could possibly be in the GOAT conversation when he’s done, and they both throw slaps in the exchange? What’s the deal? Is it a common rule that boxers only slap outside the ropes so that they don’t do something stupid to put big money in jeopardy? Or was this just another show for pub?
Slaps? I mean. That doesn’t exactly fire me up for this one. Also, I think that exchange will mimic this fight. Canelo dodging like a cobra and shattering this fellas eye sockets. He’s so freaking quick and good. Imagine what Canelo would do to you in a fight? Goodness.
PS-Though I do like that Plant ducked away from Canelo’s right hand unlike BJS consistently ducking to his left.

I personally think scripted bollocks. They both slapped each other. If they're both so hot headed they can't help but have a row and fight with closed fists instinctively, how come they both hit with open hands?
