Plant vs Medina FULL FIGHT: February 17, 2018 - PBC on FOX

On February 17th 2018, Unbeaten Super Middleweight Caleb Plant took the ring against Rogelio Medina in a 12-round title eliminator bout live from the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas. The fight was broadcasted life on FOX as part of the Premier Boxing Champions Series.
Plant wasted no time in showcasing his style early on, landing several flush jabs in the opening few rounds. “It was a tough fight tonight against a tough competitor who puts everything on the line”, said Plant. “I’m happy we got the job done tonight.” As Plant consistently landed his powerful jab by the third round, blood began to pour out of the nose of Medina.
Plant was able to mix in lead left hooks and straight right hands to continue to damage Medina throughout the action in the middle rounds. Plant utilized his jab to back up Medina, but Medina showcased the determination of a veteran as he withstood each shot.
Medina turned up his defensive prowess by the sixth round, but Plant’s consistency outweighed his determination. Plant utilized the final rounds to keep Medina at a distance, while accurately landing a nice percentage of his punches.
Improving his record to 17-0, 10 KOs, Plant defeats Medina by way of Unanimous Decision in their IBF Eliminator bout. “I want (IBF 168-pound champion) Caleb Truax,” said Plant. “He was calling me out when I was 12-0. I’m on the doorstep knocking now, let’s see if he still wants it. He can either ship me the IBF belt to my doorstep, or I’ll come take it off his waist.”

@Lawson Lukas No one cares...

[@zachfrye6054]

@@raulcitraro I just watched some of this fight as I do his other fights in slow-mo to break it down and people don't understand just how good of a boxer this guy is. It all starts with his perfect footwork and positioning allowing him to come in and hit you while at the same time being able to jump out of harms way when needed. Also his jab is one of the best in boxing and some of his left hooks are so quick and sneaky that it's literally impossible to see them coming. With Canelo being flat-footed I can see Plant doing to Canelo some of the things he did to Medina in this fight. That's a terrible matchup for Canelo.

[@raulcitraro]

@@zachfrye6054 Caleb Plant's boxing prowess will be displayed at a higher level when he steps up the competition... Power does not bother Canelo Alvarez at all; what bothers the Mexican is speed and switching angles constantly, not staying in front of him slugging it out. All things considered, Plant has excellent footwork and positioning as u said...

@@ryuxtyt4480 Fight is 3 years old,since Plant became a WC,has put in more mass and improved his strokes. He sure has enough to concuss now, looks much more winged stature now with huge cuffs atop each shoulder. Plant had another gear even back then,wanting the work. He could have stopped Medina.

[@ralebkilliams766]

Plant is very very good. Against a better fighter though, he'll have to find a way to hurt them or he's going to get overwhelmed

[@MrReav13]

Agreed. His conditioning is great though, it'll just be hard to go 12 rounds against an elite opponent if you can't gain their respect. I think his power is good enough, it's just his style is like Floyd's he usually doesn't throw with the intent to really hurt you, he throws to kind of stun you/get your attention and to score points.

[@linusfredriksson7660]

PhillyPhan agree 100%, you can tell he has power but he stops his punches as soon as they land instead of punching through his opponent, i’d also like to see him put the punches together more often as he’s definitely good at it when he actually does it, but both these points makes him easier to hit so it’s hard to find the right balance

[@ritzkola2302]

TheTruth can’t say he’s just like Floyd. At 25 Floyd was stopping everyone. Plant is just soft handed

POWER does not bother Canelo Alvarez at all; what bothers the Mexican is speed and switching angles constantly, not staying in front of him slugging it out.

Medina is simply too slow and predictable for the quicker, more intelligent Plant. He seems not to have fully recovered from that bad beating and knock out from Benavidez. Plant, however, could have beaten the shit out of him quicker, instead of moving around too often, and drag the fight to 12 rounds. Well, that's Plant style, and we have no control of that.
