Comments Thread For: Plant On Judging: I Can't Focus On That; Just Gotta Believe Right People Were Put In Place

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS - Caleb Plant is well aware of the close calls that have gone Canelo Alvarez's way over the years here in "The Fight Capital of the World." The Mexican superstar has benefitted from some debatable judging in his split-decision victory over Erislandy Lara in July 2014 and his split draw with Gennadiy Golovkin in their first fight in September 2017. One besmirched judge, CJ Ross, even credited Alvarez with fighting Floyd Mayweather to a draw, 114-114, in a 12-rounder Alvarez very clearly lost in September 2013.

Yes true, just give the best performance you can and we will see what happens with the judges. If they rob you, the people will know and will sound off

[wrecksracer]

he's going to need a couple knockdowns to get a draw.....and I don't see him getting any knockdowns

Dumb fçks above dksab.

Fury was a free agent when he first fougt wilder on pbc.

He was almost robbed in a fight he clearly won.


Canelo is also a free agent and Plant is a pbc fighter.

Canelo will need to KO plant to avoid a robbery.

Well Plants side selected all the judges so he shouldn’t have much to worry about.

Canelo is the one that should be scared of getting screwed over.

Of course he's not worried, they're more than likely paid off by Hymen/PBC. They and most everyone on here already have Canelo down 3 rounds on their scorecards. Canelo should be worried Plant will be getting one of those Gayweather/PBC gift decisions.

I don’t see that. Haymon would want to work with Canelo again for Charlo or Benavidez so I can’t see him burning that bridge.

Canelo is the money fighter here. Plant is not. PBC wants to be in the Canelo business. They want him for Charlo. They want him for Benavidez. None of that happens if Plant wins. I have no problem admitting I'm wrong if Plant somehow wins. Hell, I'd like him to win. The cards are stacked against him. PBC would rather promote the next Canelo fight than the next Plant fight.

Judges are human and big fights have a narrative going in. I think the narrative for Floyd v Pac was for Pac to win, he had to take Floyd out of his defensive game and make it an offensive fight. For GGG vs Canelo, Golovkin had to dominate and hurt Canelo, otherwise it was Avarez's fight. The narrative for tonight's fight is Plant has to be able to outbox Canelo and can't be on his back foot all night even if Canelo isn't scoring.

Anything can happen. Haymon and PBC may decide to rob Canelo on the purpose of leveraging signing a multi year deal with PBC for a rematch.

After all PBC and Showtime is on the last year of their contract. And having Canelo locked up on PBC will do wonders for haymon and co. In a new network deal
