    If Plant comes conditioned he might outbox Charlo however he has to be careful of the sporadic explosive shots from Charlo in which he windmills a huge overhand right in the hopes of getting lucky and Plant seems like the perfect candidate to get caught by such shots.

    Watching Charlo makes me feel like he's a bit unrefined in some aspects but has good fundamentals too.

    I think Charlo wins a controversial decision.

    It's not high on my list of fights I want to see, but it will help the winner get some good experience to prepare for Canelo.

    I think it might be close because of Plants boxing ability and Charlo's trouble with boxers, also Uncle Al has both their backs. So it would probably be a draw.

    Plant takes this by UD, unless the Charlo Protection Plan goes into effect.

    Plant should be able to beat Charlo by 8-4 type decision.

    Refresh my memory. When has Charlo windmilled punches in hopes of landing a lucky punch? What fight?

    Iirc the Tony Harrison fights, they weren't frequent at all but he would kind of explode without a set up and throw some hail Mary right hands.
    He wouldn't go windmilling like Wilder of course but you get my point.

    Good fight. I hope it happens and hope the judges get it right if it goes to the cards, regardless of who wins. I like Plant but Charlo has power and could surprise people.

    Due to the fact Harrison and Plant have very diffetent styles, I don't see Charlo doing that. Don't know if Charlo can pull this off.
