canelo is obviously the heavy favourite here by the bookies. wondering if there are bettors here that will place bet on caleb. and i am assuming, they will bet on caleb for the reason that odds are great, which can possibly give good payout at the end of the day.
but if canelo wins, he will further boost his value in boxing. at least see other interesting boxers in this gen once older ones like pacquiao retires.
Canelo is the obvious favorite here, but I don't see very heavy odds in his favor. Plant is still being given odds of +500 to +600 (Canelo is at -1000), which looks good IMO. The odds suggest that many of the sportsbooks believe that there is a (small) chance of upset. And I am sure that considerable number of people are going to make bets in favor of Plant. But it will be interesting to see in which direction the odds are going to move. The higher probability is that they will improve for Plant. By November, I expect the odds to be around +400.
BTW, odds for a draw is +2500. Looks attractive for me.
Bookies are doing their best to bring bettors into this fight, Plant @ 5.60 and Alvarez @ 1.09, really showing that the heavy favorite is still Canelo and for those risk takers Plant's odd is decent if upset happens.
Still have lots time and we may see adjustment depending on how the movements from bettors demands.
Canelo is the obvious favorite here, but I don't see very heavy odds in his favor.
In Canelos previous fight against Billy Joe Saunders the odds were also "not very heavy in his favor". People also believed that Saunders can compete with Canelo on the same level, but the ref stopped Sauders beating. In my opinion, Sauders is stronger than Plant. Miracle wont happen this time. I see Canelo vs Plant fight follows same scenario and will end in 7-9 round.
I see only small chance of upset since the preparation is long enough for Alvarez to learn more about the strategy and fighting skills of Plant. Let's wait and witness how things will end from this upcoming fight.
