I was impressed by Plant

[Rip Chudd]

I was disappointed in Plant. Canelo was darn near letting him have the first half of the fight but he wouldn't commit to throwing anything of consequence. I honestly don't remember him sitting down on a single punch. There were times I thought maybe his right hand was broken because he just refused to throw it despite having many opportunities to do so. He kept trying to be Mayweather in doing that catch and shoot with his right hand (he was successful a few times) but only Floyd is Floyd, he should have just been himself. In a fight like that (the fight of your life) you need to leave it all out there on the table. This dude's plan was to bank rounds trying to box knowing full well Floyd himself got a draw on one card despite dominating the entire fight. Didn't use his jab enough, I thought he would step to Canelo (cause you know that's what Ward advised him to do, you step TO punchers) but he was on the backfoot 90% of the fight. I've seen his inside game, it's nice, but he didn't even want to go that route. He looked nervous in the walk-out and in the ring before the fight. I know Canelo touched on that when talking about the Floyd fight in saying that it's different on that big stage. Maybe the moment got to him, I don't know. But it's over and he lost

Plant did a better job than I thought he would. I expected Canelo to take him out in 5 but up until the 11th, Plant had good moments, where he made Canelo miss and made Canelo look slow and won some rounds.

Plant would have continued fighting if allowed.
He is definitely not a bum as most are labeling him here.

Plant was slept on leading up to the fight. He's a good boxer but people who were hard Canelo fans were completely blindsided by his skill. Plant could have fought on but the ref did the right thing. I wanted Plant to win but in my heart, I kind of knew Canelo would win by KO around round 10. Hopefully, Plant still has hope cause I would love to see Plant come back for a rematch in the future.

Meh,

Plant fought to spoil and go 12. At no point did he attempt to win the fight or even the round. Lots of guys can make it deep if they take no chances.

Saunders is a similar style, but fought to win.

Low output, no power. Plant gets little credit from me.

Wouldn't be surprised if he drops a decision to a C-level fighter in his next bout.
