Shaun Porter, who has won the title of second-middleweight champion twice, said that IBF superweight champion Caleb Plante recently fought against challenger Caleb Trux, and according to the performance at that time, it would not scare Canello Avarez and David Benavidez.
Considering that Trux is a veteran who has passed his peak, and is plagued by Achilles tendon injuries and has been away from the field for too long, it is a bit difficult for Plante to win without knocking down.
After the game, Plant said that the hand injury during the match led to the failure to knock down the opponent, Porter believed that this may be true, and believed that Plant needed to improve his strength more, especially against Avarez in the future, otherwise Plant would be in trouble in the big war.
In addition, Porter also questioned Plant's defensive ability, because in the duel with Trux, Plant was hit by a heavy punch with his right hand several times, and some boxing fans believed that Trux only began to attack with his right hand in the second half of the game, and if he put pressure on Plant early, I am afraid that the result of the game will be somewhat different.
<h1>Plante should avoid the Avarez heavy blow</h1>
Porter wondered if Plante and Avarez could escape the entire match from his opponent's heavy blows!
Porter said: "Plant said that his hand was injured in the game, I believe this is true, but at the beginning of the game his speed, tactics did not play out. After the opening, I thought it was because Plante hadn't played for too long, and in retrospect, I do think it's the injury that affected the play. Next, I observed the most notable problem, which was that Plant was hit by Trux's right hand all the time, and if Plante fought Avarez, he could not withstand the heavy blows of the opponent, even if Plant could endure one or two attacks, it was impossible to persevere in the second half of the game like against Trux. ”
Porter believed that Plante was repeatedly threatened with Trux's right hand in the game, suggesting that there was a problem with the defense, which may be a reality, because Plante was threatened by the right hand of the defending boxer Jose Uscateggi in the first world championship match, not to mention that Plante was in good condition and was not injured.
<h1>Plant must increase his strength</h1>
Porter said: "Plant has the speed to compete with Avarez, which is a test for each other, but Plant still needs to work hard to reach the level of Avarez, it's one thing to play against others, it's another thing to play against Avarez, Plante is the kind of boxer who is confident that he can beat Avirez and I hope he can do it!" In order to do this, Pratt's strength must be increased, as must his concentration over the twelve rounds. ”
Plant is now 28 years old, this age should be his strongest time, Plante can continue to improve the technology, accumulate experience, but unfortunately to improve the strength is not an easy thing, there are boxing fans ridicule, if Plant in the 160 pounds middleweight debut, may be more sharp, helpless at 168 pounds super middleweight, his strength is not enough to make the opponent afraid.
<h1>Avarez is not afraid of Plant</h1>
Porter said: "Plante's victory just now is a bit flat, to know that Trux is 37 years old, you will definitely think that Plant will win in a beautiful way, but unfortunately this did not happen, so he will not put psychological pressure on Avarez, Plant did not scare Avarez, nor did he scare Benavidez, like me, although I lost to Errol Spence, but still no one dared to fight with me." ”
In a way, Avarez has decided to unify the entire super-middleweight, which shows that he has weighed Plante's strength and feels that he will not pose a threat to himself. Never before has Avarez been in the middleweight and light heavyweights to unify the relevant classes. In the middleweights, Avarez needs to beat Jimal Charlo and Demites Andrade, and in the lightweights, Avárez needs to beat Dmitry Biver and Artur Beitbiyev, all of which he is not sure of, or thinks that the gains are not worth the losses.
Given Plante's actual performance and overall strength, he was not enough to force Avarez to avoid, and Plant looked a little vulnerable, which gave Avarez the confidence to create a greater miracle.
