the key to knocking caleb plant out is hitting him behind the guard ... is landing a bunch of illegal behind-the-arms punches .. that's what wore him down
To be fair, you are partially right. Through the rounds repeatedly the only body shots he landed were illegal kidney blows which were unpunished.
You can't really blame this generation for trying to hype up certain fighters - they don't really have alot to choose from so they get super excited or make up things to make themselves feel better about what they are watching. See I came up when Hagler,Leonard,Hearns,Arguello were around so I know when I see a great performance and those guys gave CLINICS on how to box. So for these kids Canelo is thier Leonard/Hagler/Hearns/Arguello so its only naturally that they get excited.
