Plants problem is his hands are slow, his punching technique is poor and he has no power. Canelo is going to walk him down and break him.Man Plant is getting slept on hard itt. In no way shape or form do I expect him to dethrone Canelo, but the dude can box at a very high level.
I hate to use this comparison, because there was only one, but Plants style is more similar to Floyd than anyone else imo. That is not to say he is anywhere close to as good. But, Plant’s game is largely on the back foot, the philly shell, and sharp jabs/counters. In close Plant has some tremendous beautiful combinations with great accuracy.
Im a big fan of his and Im hoping Ward is working with him to teach him to maul inside with his size and strength. I think if Plant can add that to his toolbox he is nearly unbeatable for most of the division.
I honestly think this will be an easy night for Canelo.
