BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Canelo Álvarez and Caleb Plant couldn’t wait until Nov. 6 to start throwing hands. The super middleweight champions traded blows at their news conference Tuesday to promote their upcoming title unification bout, and the exchange left Plant with a cut under his right eye. Plant stepped forward and threw a left hook at Álvarez, who mostly dodged it and countered with a left hand to Plant’s face.
