    Threw full power bombs for 11 rounds and didn't tire. He missed big on many too. Granted part of it is Plant not doing much in return but still impressive. He's come a long way from the Gasnelo days.

    Canelo has had a noticeable improvement in his stamina since using bronchodilators. People put a lot of emphasis on his use of Clenbuterol to get bigger and knock people out - which is laughable.

    Canelo is a naturally big puncher, with a frame designed to pack a meaningful punch.

    There's no denying that clen use has played a crucial part in Canelo's game. Take a look before and after the GGG fights. Back in the Trout/Lara days, Canelo was visibly exhausted at times. He would throw short combinations and then require a rest - at a lighter weight at a younger age, this should have been his peak output.

    You can see in 2018-21 in particular Canelo's breathing is much more relaxed and less taxing. Take what your standard asthmatic is using to relieve shortness of breath (Salbutamol) and times it tenfold. Clen is a fantastic drug for relaxing your whole breathing cycle.

    For what it's worth if you have a well-seasoned doc you can use xanthine without getting popped for PEDs. You just need to know how...

    Clenelo even says no thanks to the stool in between rounds these days.

    His punches hurt more in the later rounds as his opponents fade. He also picks his shots in the starting rounds but when someone is hurt he goes for the kill. Great fighter

    If he's doing that, more power to him. He's not avoiding drug tests and he's passing them all.
    Say what you will about him testing positive for trace ammounts of Clenbuterol which plenty of athletes out of Mexico have tested positive for since the cattle industry over there uses it on their livestock.
    Canelo has'nt tested positive for Clenbuterol since as he knows he has to be careful his meat source comes from livestock thats clean of it.

    Canelo himself has said he's better and he feels better physically at 168 now that he does'nt have to dehydrate himself severely to make weight. That really to me explains why he has more gas in the tank throughout the fight.

    To me, Canelo was really sacrificing himself physically when he was making 147 lbs and even part of his 154 lbs stay.
    Physically he seems more complete since he moved to 160 and now at 168.

    canelo spent most of the rounds without throwing ****. Ridiculously low punch output. And caleb wasnt throwing **** either, and the few punches caleb landed had ZERO power.

    What do you expect that would happen? canelo exhausting by doing nothing and not being punched?

    We cant say nothing about canelo's stamina tanking only yesterday's fight as a reference. Low, very low workrate fight. Incredibly extremely really very low workrate fight.

    Yeah, none of the fights recently has made him work anything remotely as much as in the GGG fights. And not that pressure either of course.

    But I also think he looks better at 168. More relaxed and powerful. A fight with Benavidez, or better yet, Beterbiev at 175 would really put this to the test.

    I would'nt call it a low workrate fight for Canelo.
    While it was'nt high, it certainly was'nta low workrate fight.

    Plant is a physically strong 168 lbs mover. He uses his feet and is constantly moving to stay out of range, and he's pretty good and physically strong enough to tie a fighter up at close range where he does'nt want to be.
    Unless you're a fighter who's perfected the art of cutting the ring off and swarming your opponent, you're not going to just throw caution to the wind on a moving target.

    Canelo's style is not really to pressure an opponent, so the ammount of pressue he applied against plant I feel was just right for him. He was able to stay calm and balanced and fight within himself. Still able to get good punches off while remaining poised and balanced.

    Should Canelo have applied more pressure and look to land even more than he was allready landing???
    I say Plant's lack of effective punching dictated that Canelo not increase the pace which would have left Canelo more open to get countered with something that was more meaninful by Plant.
    The fighter losing rounds is the fighter that has to change something up and take more chances, Canelo was winning rounds and had no need to up the pace when it was'nt time to.
    The result was an exellent knockout of good fighter in Caleb Plant.

    Though far from perfect, Canelo executed his gameplan very well imo.

    Uh, every single punch Clenelo throws is a full leverage KO shot. That tires any natural fighter out.

    Exaggerating. He was throwing big shots all night. Not high output but it wasn't like you describe.
