I actually think plant got his title shot too early. Not that 17-18 fights is too early for a title shot in general, I think Plant probably needed more time with an actual trainer team that was championship class. I also don’t think it would have hurt to face more hard nose trial horses with a reputation for rugged fights. When you compare the amount of pro fights Plant had to Canelo, and the vast difference of experience it truly is impressive how well he did in that fight before getting caught

Artificial and engineered feelings of disrespect in a pathetic effort to generate some hype and interest. It's no different than McCumby with the **** mustache and MAGA schtick. All sizzle and no steak.
It's an underwhelming matchup against a limited opponent that's intended to be a showcase fight to convince us Sweet Hands is back.

Plant may have got that title shot a bit premature but it's hard to pass up especially against a champion you match up so well against.

Jessie Hart is upset Caleb Plant picked Cumby, instead of him. Don't know why Plant is putting it all on Mac. Not saying he avoided Hart, but he's more experienced and been there with some of the big boys. McCumby is undefeated, though, but fought crumbs. Maybe it's far from happening, but I want to see Plant get derailed in this fight.
