Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán vs. Caleb Hunter Plant & Elvis Rodríguez vs. Juan Pablo Romero RBR

I said if they were the same size as each other not if one was much bigger like Chisora was with Usyk and Lopez and Linares are than Loma

And Loma would be undefeated if he had Clen's judges and you know it too, let alone if he was on his PEDs.

Even when the tank-like Clenelo fought that shell of Kovalev in that ''David vs Goliath'' encounter he would've only been giving away a maximum of 2lbs and 2'' in reach, Loma is routinely giving away way more weight and reach than that, almost everytime he fights.

Funny how all these LHWs are way too big for Clenelo but Loma is fighting guys routinely who are much heavier and longer than him than what Clenelo would be having to overcome at 175 and giving away 7-11lbs, likely at least 14-15lbs in his next fight and almost 6'' in reach, at 126-135 is way different to doing so at 168-175 and Clenelo only gave away about 2lbs and 2'' in reach to Kovalev.

Imagine what that shell of Kovalev would've done to him if he had 7-12lbs on him and almost 6'' in reach if he was whooping his ass whilst only having 2lbs and 2'' on him, let alone a prime Kovalev.


You seem to forget that styles make fights and it's hardly a coincidence that Clenelo has either lost, lost but his judges have bailed him out, or has struggled badly every single time he has faced any B or A level athletic talent who possesses genuine speed and slickness.

Make sure this registers: He does so every single time, not just once or when, as all fighters do, have an occasional off night like Usyk, Loma and Crawford have had too and with the exception of Floyd they're all light years better in terms of skills, athletic talent and speed than everyone he's fought. It's clearly a huge flaw in his game and one which would undoubtedly be exposed again by those fighters. Plant gave him fits with his slickness tonight for goodness sake.

Now do you get it?

Plant is a C level athletic talent and slickster at best and he has low output, no power, and he can't take or dish it out anywhere near as good as them. Usyk, Loma and Crawford are A or A + level talents in that regard and stylistically all wrong for him.

When Loma fought a smaller A + elite level talent and P4P top 4 in Rigo he didn't lose a single second of a single round, whereas, conversely, when Clenelo fought the much smaller Khan who is not remotely as talented or gifted as Rigo he got completely outboxed prior to his huge weight advantage and PED power bailing him out

 

Fight looked almost exactly how I thought it would go.

Plant is a good, smart, skillfull fighter.

He's just not good, smart, or skillfull enough.

He's not good enough at any one thing to compensate for his weaknesses.

If he was a level smarter... he could have been in this. Or if he was a level more talented. Or if he had legit power.

But as is... he's simply not good enough.

He did aight though all things considered.
Just fought a great fighter. Plant can still improve. There's a lot, a lot, he can learn from this fight, if he has the IQ.

There were a few things that bugged me in this fight... and one of the main ones is how Plant just crumpled at the end. I will simply never understand how a fighter does not clinch when in trouble. Wrestle... clinch... make the ref break you up. But just covering up like that while looking away in that situation is something I don't understand when you're at the championship level.
