Canelo Alvarez Feeling 'Strong, Excited' Ahead Of November 6

Canelo Alvarez is feeling good heading into November 6 and his title bout with Caleb Plant.

The two will meet from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas for the undisputed super middleweight title. The card airs live on Showtime pay-per-view.

Alvarez, the unified WBC, WBO and WBA super middleweight title, will be looking to unify the belt with Plant, the reigning IBF super middleweight champion.

“I feel strong and I’m very excited. I’m just continuing to move forward day by day toward fight night. I’m ready to make history on November 6,” Alvarez said. “It’s new for me to have this much bad blood with an opponent. It’s very different from normal and it’s definitely the most animosity I’ve had with an opponent heading into a big fight.

“I’m sticking with my prediction of a knockout before round eight. The first couple of rounds will be difficult, but as the fight progresses, I am going to be able to get him out of there.

“I delivered the message I had to at our press conference. I don’t have to say anything else to Plant. I’m just going to prepare to face him in the ring on November 6.”

Alvarez has been in this situation numerous times. However, it has been new for him with the bad blood from Plant.

“I’ve never been involved in anything like what happened at the first press conference between me and Caleb. Whether it sells the fight or not, the most important thing for me is to become undisputed on November 6,” he said. “I’ve been in the ring for huge fights like this a lot of times. For him, it’s going to be a challenge being in there for a fight of this magnitude for the first time. He’s going to have to control his emotions.

“I’m a complete fighter. I can do various things in the ring. I can be aggressive, I can counterpunch, I can move. At the end of the day, I know I have to be a complete fighter. That’s what I’ve learned to be under Eddy Reynoso.
