Canelo Cuts Caleb Plant’s Eye as the Boxers Take Swings During a Press Conference

Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant are set to step into the ring on November 6th.  On Tuesday they faced off at press conference for their upcoming fight.

Trash talk between the two boxers turned physical as Canelo shoved Plant.  Plant casually walked back towards Canelo and took a swing.

Plant's punch was skillfully dodged by Canelo and it appears as ihe caught Plant with a punch of his own.  After the dust settled Plant had a cut under his left eye.

Canelo and Caleb Plant already getting heated.

Boxing has been overshadowed lately by the UFC and the circus boxing matches put on by people like the Paul brothers.

Throwing punches at a press conference is a pretty good way to get people talking about your fight.  It's also a pretty good way to show you're much more skilled than your opponent.

Canelo shoved whoever he's fighting all the way across the stage.  He then easily dodged his punch and dotted the dude's eye.  Is this fight going to be close?
