I think caleb plant isn't ready . To me he is talented but I see him as a j Rock Williams of the 168 division young talented man but not experienced enough . I think uzcategui is to big to experienced for plant . The punching power will be the difference here Jose's experience against Andre direll fights has improved him better as an overall fighter . I don't think plant will be able to handle uzcategui pressure . Whether it's by KO / TKO / or UD im picking uzcategui to win . What are your predictions ?
I did initially fancy Plant quite decisively but I didn't realize how small he is next to to Uzcategui. I thought Plant might have been 1/2 an inch shorter and similar build but he looks 2" shorter and a smaller build. Uzcategui has a style built for a big strong bloke, comes foward throws a lot of leather, willing to take 1 to land 1. Uzcat isn't sophisticated but he is very effective against weaker blokes. Plant has the movement and defense to rack up the numbers, but if he can't hurt Uzcat he might just get run over. Uzcat doesn't have huge 1 punch power but he has enough to hurt you and he will keep coming all night if he doesn't respect your power. Still leaning slightly to Plant but more as im a fan than anything else. Im kind of thinking he might not be physical enough in this match up.
Yes & the reach disparity is a factor also. Uz has some long arms. I also dont think Plant counter punches well enough. He'll make Uz miss but wont land enough meaningful counters to stop Uz's forward momentum imo
I like Uzcategui by late stoppage. His work rate is nice and he will keep the pressure up and get Caleb outta there Ill saaaaaay 10th round
[url]Jose Uzcategui [/url]was NOT fatigued at all. He was iterally running back to his corner between rounds. His mouth was never open or did he look tired. Caleb Plant was DEAD tired after round 8. Not one time did I see any type of urgency from Uzcategui . It looked like he was giving 50% on his punches and not putting anything on them. Not only that in the clinch he purposely chose not to throw anything and this was vs plant who had NOTHING left. this was an extremely fishy fight. caleb plant better work on his stamina, because if he gets tired like that again he's going to get stopped.
even the announcer said jose looks sluggish how can you be sluggish but run back to your corner, not even sweating or breathing hard LMAO. RIGGED FIGHT
Nothing fishy at all Plant dropped him TWICE and plant was tagging him with clean hard shots all night long His team was in panic mode
