Comments Thread For: Caleb Plant Drops, Decisions Jose Uzcategui To Win IBF Title

[Shadoww702]

The Harrison/Charlo judges...you beat up the champ, you FIGHT the champ, you win the belt. The champ beats YOU up, you dont want to fight, you DONT win the belt .

Plant knocked Uzcategui down twice, won the first 9 rounds. Uzcategui looked slow, wasn't busy enough. Plant won those first 9 rounds by actually fighting. It's that simple .

His corner was TERRIBLE!!! It was like they were all having a good time laughing and joking while he was losing badly. After the 5th they should of known he needed a KO! And slapped the sht out if telling him you see that man over there??? Well he's taking your BELT and your not even trying. We might as well just GIVE it to him and stop the fight right now. Put some passion and urgency in him. That was the WORST pep talk.

Good performance, he showed moments of real skill, talent although faded late and that might be an issue in a fight where he's not already far ahead going into the championship rounds. Right now I would say 1. Benavidez 2. Smith 3. Plant 4. Uzi 5. Zurdo

Damn right, think it was after the 8th maybe, trainer was gently asking Jose over and over, 'Are you OK? Are you sure you're OK?' ..I was watching thinking wtf is this bs, Jose needs a kick up the ass, not a flipping therapy session

Lol I remember that also and was like WTF??? His entire corner was useless. And he kept standing in between rounds and jumping up way before he had. You notice Plant took his time and was very slow getting up.

Uzcategui was just outclassed from the first bell. The handspeed difference was so apparent. The Dirrell win was such a smoke in mirrors win for Uzcategui.

His corner didnt know what to do because they couldnt make him faster and he was losing every exchange even when Plant was tired.

I called this fight once it was announced. This was Plants showcase. Uzcategui was DEFINITELY the lowest hanging fruit in the division. Id argue he was the p4p lowest hanging fruit with a belt. I wish I wouldve put $ on it.

Plant boxed very well, that's for sure, just some semblance of a gameplan from Uz's team would've been nice

Good call! I took Jose because of the 11 month layoff for Plant and never fighting past 10 rounds.

I was Wayyy off!!

[SouthPawHitman]

Jose a great fighter but he ain’t got the skill and speed of Plant. In a rematch Plant gone do the damn thing again. He slowed down some but that be his first 12 round fight and not to mention he be coming of an injury and 11 month layoff.

Plant is just better

He's a pressure fighter. That was their plan and it didn't work.

[tatot]

Plant would be a good 168 debut for GGG and if he wins, him and Canelo can rematch at that weight lol
