Plant vs Eubanks JR

Vwry good analysis, and ya I agree Plant has a tendency to drift towards the ropes for some strange reason. If he did this against Eubank Jr. He gets lit, otherwise he wins UD or has the potential to counter and stop him in any round though this is less likely.

 

Jr has a very tough fight this weekend, Degale will be at the top of his game.

Can't look past that really but....

Groves didn't beat Jr because of size he beat him by out smarting him. Using his advantages and smothering Jr on the inside. The ref should have been deducting points for all the clinching but he didn't so Groves kept to the plan.

Regardless Groves is a fair bit bigger than Plant. Plant isn't noticeably bigger than Jr, he's a little taller but that's about it.

Jr would also annhilate Uzcategui easier and far more destructively than Plant did.
Uzcat would not make it to the 2nd half of that fight he would get that Avni treatment. Uzcat is a face 1st fighter that comes straight at you and Jr is hitting harder than ever at 168, his hand speed would be too much for the kid. Uzcat was always terribly overrated though imo.

Doesn't mean Jr would beat Plant mind you. Plant has great footwork which will be a huge advantage, probably would favour Plant at this stage. Plant can watch the Jr vs Groves fight and win in a similar style

 

ths is true, but i think a national level like eubie J will be handled.

 

he did, fact. But I think Chunky can muster one more semi-world class performance, esp given the leeway of being against national level.

 

The last guy Plant fought was a much harder puncher than Eubank.

 

I think Smith would beat Plant and Eubank.

 

Why?

 

Benavidez is a talent but he still has boy strength, funny thing is he fights like he is a hulk and is in love with his power.

Benavidez better stay in his lane because if he runs head on to a prime Young Christopher he might never be the same.
2 years time and Benavidez will probably win, he needs to get a bit sharper and wait for Jr to lose some of his athleticism.


Plant is also too sharp for David atm, David doesn't have the tools to deal with a Plant right now.
Plant would whoop him, but I expect David to get more refined and has the potential to beat a Plant some day.

 

Plant
Brähmer
Canelo
Saunders
Jacobs
Zurdo
Brant
Andrade

Young Christopher loses to these by humiliating fashion.

Smith
Benavidez
Golovkin

Young Christopher's health would be at serious risk against these.

 

Eubank's thing is not hard punching, it's combination punching. Eubank is on another level when it comes to unloading a flurry.
