Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant faced off at the weigh-in ahead of their super-middleweight unification bout on Saturday. Alvarez, who entered the building in his usual silk pajamas spraying, was calm and collected. However, things got hot when the two met after the weigh-ins.

P4P King Alvarez weighed-in at 168 pounds while 'Sweethands' Plant was a pound lighter than his opponent. Organizers feared a repeat of their September brawl and were cautious, keeping the two apart.

After the weigh-in, Alvarez and Plant stood several feet away from each other for the final staredown. On stage alongside heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson, they were provided with extra security. Yet Alvarez and Plant almost got into a brawl.

They had security and @MikeTyson on stage to make sure @Canelo and @SweetHandsPlant didn’t have a repeat of their Sept. scuffle 😳 #CaneloPlant https://t.co/RulwNU73LC

Both fighters were seen pointing fingers and shouting at each other and had to be held back. A near-brawl was averted largely due to Tyson's presence.
