The main event fight of Canelo vs Plant should start tonight around 9 p.m. PT on Saturday, November 6. (That's midnight ET and 4 a.m. GMT on Sun Nov. 7 in U.K.). Before the main event, though, the main card gets underway at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Saturday. That's 1 a.m. GMT Sunday.
The Canelo vs Plant live stream goes live shortly, and it should be historic. Yes, that word gets thrown around a lot but there's few other ways to describe the main event coming up later tonight. The fight, emanating from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, will unify all the super middleweight gold in boxing.
Saul "Canelo" (that's Spanish for 'cinnamon') Alvarez is bringing the majority of the titles to the fight. So, for that one IBF title that Plant is putting up, Canelo is wagering his WBA, WBC, WBO and Ring Magazine championships. And with all that title gold on his person, Canelo is the huge favorite (odds below).
Most recently, Canelo snapped Billy Joe Saunders' WBO belt into his collection back in May, taking that title in front of a Texas-sized crowd in Arlington at the AT&T Stadium. He won between the eighth and ninth rounds, as the match was waved off when Saunders' right eye had swollen shut, while his chances of retaining that title closed along with those eyelids.
This path of triumphs positions Canelo as the Thanos of the super middleweight world, collecting one after the other. We've never had an undisputed super middleweight champion before, and this weekend we're gonna get one.

As recently as October, Plant was ranked as the second-best active super middleweight in the world by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, and he comes to this match having lived a life with some serious sadness.
His wife died in a hospital after being shot by police, and his daughter Alia passed away at 19 months old after suffering a respiratory infection.
