Comments Thread For: Caleb Plant Scores Brutal One-Punch Knockout of Anthony Dirrell in Ninth

[Outwest Exp 355]

Huh? I never want to talk trash and be disrespectful to other boxing fans but Outwest?!?!........ Plant probably fought Canelo and Dirrell the same way. The difference was.... Dirrell is not Canelo?!?! He fought like such a *****? I apologize in advance but, I'm going to assume that you are a child? If not, I am truly sorry. Plant fought well against Canelo. Plant just has no real punching power that could hold off the top of the division. The difference is, pound for pound king and unified champion Saul Alverez has a chin, and washed up, mediocre, 38 year old Dirrell doesn't? Boxing math should NEVER be used but remember when Canelo routed Yildirim in 3 and Yildrim quit? and Dirrell went an ugly 10, split headbutt with Yildrim? There are levels to this. Dirrell is no where near Canelo's level but....Plant fought like such a ***** with Canelo?!?!? There was a risk of being knocked out by Canelo and no risk of being knocked out by Dirrell, styles make fights.

Like I said before I’m a big fan of Plant and anyone who knows me on NSB knows that. You want to say Plant isn’t a huge puncher than sure I could agree with that. However I feel like Plant was pulling his punches in the Canelo fight and for that I was disappointed with his performance.

Who runs the PBC youtube channel? They need to be shot in the face with a piss filled water pistol. Worst highlights ever, doesn't even show the finish

YESSS! AWESOME KO! Dirrell knocks out Hernandez with an uppercut and celebrates. Plant Ko's Dirrell and not allowed to celebrate? After all that **** talking? GTFOH!

Hell of a shot right on the button. The loss to Clenelo Alvared appears to have humbled Plant to be a better fighter going forward with his career. Adding Steven Edwards is a major plus. I'm looking for to Plant vs Benavidez and Charlo when he moves up to 168

Garbage ass fight up until the KO. Neither wanted to engage and that was some sh.it advice from Sweet Cheeks new trainer.

Also very disrespectful of what Sweet Cheeks did at the end, but it's PBC, expect nothing but ****** mentality from everyone there.

[Body the jab]

This fight had a predictable outcome, Dirrell has been around for a long time and was part of the previous wave of 168lbers - never mind the fact he struggled against Yildrim a few fights ago. The only question mark was whether Plant was still hungry after getting his Canelo money.

And you thought Plant had no power?
Nor a great gas tank
Hmmmmm
Boy were you soo wrong
Hope you didn't bet any $$ on that Prediction
Lololololol

Good ko but lets not get too crazy, It took Caleb Plant less than a day to turn down the fight with Benavidez after talking a whole lot of mess on social media then clipped a 38 year old way past his prime....

[factsarenice]

Benavidez or nothing
Plant has got to do a lot more than beat up a washed up, 10 years past his prime Dirrell for anyone to be willing to pay to see him.

[Knuckle sandwich]

Benavidez or nothing

Agreed, this is the fight both of them need for credibility, been avoiding fighting each other.

Make it happen

Excellent KO, and well deserved, but my what a classless act at the end of the fight.
