Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
I actually think that Benavidez may be the best SMW now. Callum is overrated after beating Groves.
Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
I tend not to think that, but you never know. Benavidez is only 22 and has much to still learn and/or prove. Callum, I don't think is overrated, but more underappreciated.

Well if stopped taking shït! He’d be defending his WBC belt.

Post-surgery chinny Groves is Callum's only good win. Of course Benavidez also doesn't have an impressive resume, but as you mentioned, he is just 22 ...oogiebe wrote: ↑14 Jan 2019, 17:39I tend not to think that, but you never know.

He certainly has the 'stuff' to go far. Not much of an amateur career which so far doesn't show, but when he goes up against the best in the division, he'll need some more experience.boxing_rocks wrote: ↑14 Jan 2019, 17:50Post-surgery chinny Groves is Callum's only good win.

hes also on coke already
Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
Callum's resume at 168 right now is better than anyone else's which isn't saying a lot because it's a fairly shallow division for the time being, but he's got better wins than the other guys do.boxing_rocks wrote: ↑14 Jan 2019, 17:50Post-surgery chinny Groves is Callum's only good win.

Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
Who in the top10 can Caleb beat? I'm struggling here... again a weak champ replaced a weak champ
Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
What ridiculous comment? Plant's style is awful. The only thing ridiculous is that midly racist shit your throwing at me because I live inside your head.
What a complete moron. You slap a guy around so much that he starts to take it personally.
Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
Every Boxing Writer today commended Plant today for his great defense and his offensive output (style). So you once prove that you know nothing about this sport. Oh you prefer the Mexican style, walk down the whole fight while taking a beating with the hope that he may get the guy in the end? That’s not a great style dude. FYI.
Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
I permanently live inside your head now I see. As I said, you come up with these stupid half-assed predictions and think you're the boss. Guess what, you'll never come to close to the way I slap you around because I actually make predictions, not just half-assed attempts. I love that I live permanently in your head, rent free.caldo2025 wrote: ↑15 Jan 2019, 05:20Every Boxing Writer today commended Plant today for his great defense and his offensive output (style).

Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
I’ve been meaning to ask you if you wouldn’t mind cleaning up a bit and stop parking on the lawn? I work hard to keep the place looking nice and just because you live rent free, it doesn’t mean that you can’t help out around the place. Thanks.Mexi-Box wrote: ↑15 Jan 2019, 15:06I permanently live inside your head now I see. As I said, you come up with these stupid half-assed predictions and think you're the boss.

Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
Plant looked quite impressive. Rational boxing, excellent fundamentals and footwoork, good defence-wise, yet confident in the exchanges, solid work with changing the levels. However, on the one hand, he blew an ending a bit, but, on the other hand, it was more of a safety-first approach after a great deal of won rounds. The hype around this guy is justified, he looked classy.
Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
I don't know if he went into prevent defense as a strategy or because he was a bit gassed. His output really dropped off later in the fight, around round 8/9, but the scoring was so one-sided by then. Uzcategui never really pressed after that, like I thought he could've. Great win for Plant. Terrific performance!DrDuke wrote: ↑15 Jan 2019, 15:38 Plant looked quite impressive.

Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
Gassing out was probably a factor too, he became more defence-oriented also in order not to lose the remaining resources. Anyway it was difficult for Uzcategui to come back after being outworked, outclassed and dropped, he was only able to use a couple of given little chances.oogiebe wrote: ↑15 Jan 2019, 15:42I don't know if he went into prevent defense as a strategy or because he was a bit gassed.

Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
A fun fight to watch it was. Really dominant performance by Plant through 7. I'm still jazzed by the Brandon Figueroa fight. That kid looked really good!DrDuke wrote: ↑15 Jan 2019, 15:49Gassing out was probably a factor too, he became more defence-oriented also in order not to lose the remaining resources.

Yeah, I'm now really intrigued with Plant too. Gotta see him in the unifications.oogiebe wrote: ↑15 Jan 2019, 15:53A fun fight to watch it was. Really dominant performance by Plant through 7.

Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
Unifications or just going for one of the vacant belts (WBC/IBO) which could mean not having to go against one of the top dogs just yet.DrDuke wrote: ↑15 Jan 2019, 15:55Yeah, I'm now really intrigued with Plant too.

Re: Jose Uzcategui vs. Caleb Plant - January 13, 2019
Maybe not some of the top dogs right now, but, of course, there still shouldn't be a long marinading of big fights.
