    I am telling you all, this guy Plant is a fucking dog and a phony.

    He will look for a way out and he will take it when it comes.

    In between, sure, he will do some looting, but once PD show up with the 10 Gauge....expect Ol Caleb to haul more ass than a bus full of Playboy Bunnies.

    Plant is getting annihilated.

    Before six. Guaranteed.

    Plant is what I always called a "Beltholder".

    He's like Frankie Liles or Thomas Ulrich.

    He has a "Title" and that is it.

    I don't get the Plant dismissals. I don't want nearly as much boxing as I used to, but I've seen enough Canelo and Plant to know that Plant has advantages in certain areas.
    Whenever a guy has any advantages, shit can happen.
    What are his advantages? Height, reach, work rate, youth, maybe hand speed. He also has a nice variety of punches which might lead to actually hurting Canelo.

    They are both natural fighters. Canelo has learned the art of the juice so I don't care if he's the favorite, but I will not be surprised if Plant wins this or at least deserves it.

    Far closet to Ulrich than Liles IMO.

    If Plant earns it, he can have it. But he won't, and so he can't.

    The feeling here is that he has come into the ring with a "damage limitation" philosophy.

    If he goes balls to the wall and backs Canelo up before he runs out of steam, fine.

    But we all know he won't, He'll go walkies after a while.

    In skills yes, but Liles had that WBA belt for 5 years and made 3 defences I think.

    He simply wasn't involved in the sport, in any real sense.

    Who is Caleb Plant? He's Canelo opponent.

    That's it. He's won the lottery so to speak.

    He was not trying to forge an independent path for himself, rather he was trying to converge with Canelo, to get paid.

    Frankie Liles was a helluva lot better than Plant.

    I am not saying he wasn't.

    I am saying he wasn't into boxing.

    He wasn't trying to forge a real reputation or a career.

    Rather, just going through the motions.

    Plant is playing a role.

    Like David Haye. Haye was better than Plant. Or Ulrich. And probably Lyles too.

    But he was always trying to get something for nothing.

    REED Tried to Make a Case for Plant in His Mind, for Youtube Purposes...But Honestly, the Initial Press Conference Altercation REVEALED the GAP In Levels Between Canelo and Plant...

    As Such, REED Can Only Re-Post His Thoughts from Back Then...



    Plant's Got NATHAN for Canelo...Can't Knock Him Out, WON'T Win a Decision...SLOWER of Hand Than Canelo...

    Good, Likable Dude, Tragic Back Story, But Plant Not Only Loses CONVINCINGLY, He Gets STOPPED...

    Plant, to his credit, is dedicated to boxing. He's a gym rat. Thats not his issue.

    His issue is that he fights in a Roy/Ward hybrid style without the ability of Roy and Ward.

    He's not gone on the road. He's not moved up. He's not very active. He's not promoted himself or developed himself into a major local attraction.

    And, as you say, hes trying to be something hes not, which is the classic modern affliction of young men everywhere today.

    It's rare that a big fight has such a small feeling to it.

    Are you watching this show in Liverpool, George. "The Boxxer Series"..........winner gets a Porsche, maybe, I don't know.

    It's a bit fucking chavvy I'll tell you. :Jest:

    Loads of loud 90's dance music between rounds/fights.

    Format is 3 by 3 mins. 4 Quarters, 2 Semis, a Final.

    Weak panel too. Some dollies and trainers.

    Froch and Smith on commentary.

    Funny how Froch associates bleeding boxers with the "Better work". Everytime one of these guys does the "better work", he starts bleeding.

    Next two lads look like another pair of rudeboy bellends. There was argie at the weighin, naturally.

    Are you a Manchester sort? Did you have a good day or a bad day today?

    There's some dross on this card.

    Sean Dodds was crying saying he lost everything to Covid......he looks like an old man and I fancy this kid to take his loaf off.

    You can't win a fight on emotion at all.

    I had to switch off that boxing, too many lads getting bad decisions against them.

    I think the three- threes is a bad format, it's like asking horses to run 50 metre races, it turns into a mad dash and it's just asking for trouble.

    I predict that Canelo will drop/stop Plant with a body shot before mid point. Plant will be using his height to pull back, expose his mid section and boom.
