“Something About Me Ruffles His Feathers” – Caleb Plant Explains Why Canelo Alvarez Lost His Cool on Stage

Caleb Plant vs Canelo Alvarez is building up to be a super fight. From the first press conference itself, we got to see a different side of Canelo Alvarez. The normally calm Mexican pushed Plant when ‘Sweethands’ said something Alvarez felt was derogatory towards his mother.

Caleb Plant explained the whole situation and why he thinks Canelo lost his cool on stage. “I don’t know. Something about me ruffles his feathers, I think. I feel like a lot of these guys here recently. You know they’ve been there to pick up a check and hand over the belt.

And um, I feel like he knows that he’s got someone in front of him who’s not just here for a check. And not just here to be quiet and hand over his belt, but here to win. I think somehow that strokes his ego the wrong way, and he’s not a fan of that. Not to mention, you know, bringing to light some of his past issues that he’s had. I’m sure he didn’t like that.”
