Apparently, Plant got cut by Canelo’s punch and was bleeding profusely during the rest of the press conference.
Been to literally hundreds of boring press conferences. Never seen an exchange like that, and especially for a fight like this. That’s a big gash under Plant’s right eye, and it’s bleeding profusely. A cut like that in training usually postpones fights

They are now tending to Caleb Plant, who has a cut under his right eye. Just in case anyone thought the skirmish w/ Canelo was staged. These two truly do not like each other. #CaneloPlant pic.twitter.com/5nhcy9YkV8

Later in the presser, Plant accused Canelo of being a drug cheat for being associated with trainer Eddy Reynoso, whose fighter Oscar Valdez was recently involved in a scandal after testing positive for a banned substance.
