Thread: Caleb Plant v Caleb Truax Saturday FOX

I like Plant as a fighter. Pretty slick and talented just not sure how these last 3 -title defenses- they’re making for him leads one to believe he’s taking the acid tests he’ll need to oppose Canelo. Listening to Plant he’s convinced he can take him tomorrow but hey here’s to confidence. Should be a decent showcase v Truax who has always been serviceable. Years been slow to start but turning into February we’re beginning to see a slight uptick in activity.

Sweet I've got Fox channels 😎

Well not much of an undercard even if it was a split 3 hr card so far. Rances Barthelemy did his thing awkwardly walking around with low hands on his way to a unanimous 10 over All Rivera from the Philippines. PBC actually throwing out names like Spence and Crawford because Rances is moving up . That’s a bug on the windshield moment.

Joey Spencer 21-0 demolished the ex heavyweight champs son. Well it was Isiah Seldon and not to kick a man when he’s down but down he was. Dropped twice and ref waved it off in the 1st. Seldon was docked 2 points after intentionally hitting Spencer behind the head when tied up. Heavyweight Michael Coffie 12-0 beat down 17-0 Darmani Rock with a nasty uppercut in the 3rd. Plant v Truax coming up, don’t blink .

Plant is just the type of guy you hope better for. PBC really has to put in some work when it comes to opponents. Truax will fight his arse off for sure but think his real life Rocky moment has come and gone.

Plant having a pot shot fest and showing a quality left hook and bodywork. Full control. Putting them together in 3rd, like to see him shift through the gears. This is all Plants show to make.

Wouldn't fancy either of these guys against Alvarez.

Truax backs Plant off with a triple jab. Caleb does like to watch his own work, looking to walk Truax onto some hard counters late. Damn Truax sneaks in a hard clean right uppercut on Plant as the round ends. Plant round but stop playing with your food.

Evening bud just thinking exact same thing. Give that ground to Canelo and he gets folded in half.

Plant round again. Time to assert some hurt.

Does change distance on that sharp jab well. Shortens in up and making a mess of nose on Truax. Plant 6th. Just painting him all night.

I have to try that Popeyes stuff.

I have a far better jab than Truax. How the hell do you get to world title level when you're a lumbering fucker with no jab?

Rinse repeat Plant just beating him up through 7th. Truax not falling over or just collecting a check but these guys have passed one another going in opposite directions long ago. Plant in a Hopkins kind of way is giving him life in spots. Truax lands a single clean picture perfect right hand in between. Plant should not be catching those. Plant 8th.

Oh uppercut combo rocked Truax in close! He backs away and Plant watches.

Truax looks shaken at end of 10th. For a guy who's been talking up Canelo it's an honest question...if Truax lands this clean in spots, you're going to have some very serious concerns. This is Plants 3rd trinket defense..
