Wise, who is the combat sports editor for CBS Sports, is an experienced boxing analyst. His strong 2021 boxing record includes correctly calling victories for social-media-star-turned-boxing-phenom Jake Paul over former UFC fighters Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Moreover, the respected combat analyst also called Jamel Herring (+105) to defeat Carl Frampton (-125) for the WBO junior lightweight title in April. Anyone who has followed Wise's combat sports picks is WAY UP!
What's more, Wise also has been on point with his UFC predictions this year. He called middleweight champion Israel Adesanya by decision against Marvin Vettori at +140 and Brandon Moreno (+190) to win outright against Deiveson Figueiredo for the flyweight title at UFC 263 earlier this summer.
Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs) holds the WBA, WBC and WBO versions of the title, while Plant (21-0, 12 KOs) owns the IBF belt. Alvarez added the WBO crown to his collection with his eighth-round stoppage of Billy Joe Saunders in May. Saturday's main event will be his third appearance of 2021.
Plant won the IBF belt in January 2019 and has successfully defended it three times. He is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Caleb Truax in January.
