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

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.”

[@joesmith2493]

Lions is right tho Benavides brothers bang hard thenna ho

[@555goahead2]

You can tell Plant watched a lot of Mayweather fights when he was a kid.

[@chrisg4997]

Everyone watch Medina vs benavidez then watch this loooool no comparison

[@edmaldonado8843]

I see more tapping than actual punching where's the power

[@MRJTD99]

Very impressive and smart performance by Plant.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

The funny thing is this was not on FOX in my area did anyone else watch hockey instead? LoL

[@HatersHaveOpinion1]

Plant Will Be A Super Middleweight Champion Soon!

[@Genjuro77]

on which planet?

[@lionsandtruth2483]

I agree, he should be fighting for a title by the end of the year

[@HatersHaveOpinion1]

Genjuro77 Caleb Plant Would Beat The Shit Out Of The Caleb That Beat James Degale

[@joaoii1082]

You called it

[@Wizardkelly808]

[@henryford1160]

How bout that 7 jab combo to end the fight? Plant looking like slick rick in this bitch

[@lacemupboxing5051]

Plant ain't ready for David Benavidez!!

[@brasstacksboxing409]

I still don't think he is.

[@jah12wi]

Dominant win! Aint Porky the one who put Jleon Love to bed???

[@StillTroy]

dolo yep haha

[@curtflirt2]

but it seems that fight with David Benavidez took a ton out of him.

[@kaind.badguy]

Congrats to Plant. That was an awesome display of skill.

[@LetMeGetHighRQ]

If canelo closes the gap like medina did, which he will, its over for plant

[@Mektek19]

Highlights made it seem like it was close. Plant outclassed a world class gatekeeper. Good step up victory. Medina has been in there with the best at 168.

[@chrisg4997]

But also Medina is not the same after Benavidez fight, he looks like half the fighter he used to be

[@stay1kalways927]

@@chrisg4997 what happen to him

[@TheGreatTraeX]

Props to plant

[@joesmith2493]

Cole plant looks like a natural fighter, he needs to switch his style up some rounds but it’s all coming together

[@babyjesus7165]

Caleb!!!

[@raxmanbox]

first world class top level guy that Plant faces, especially if he has a world class left hook, will stop him. He sticks his chin, badly

[@hhh1200]

glad u see that. he's a knock out just waiting to happen

[@brasstacksboxing409]

@@hhh1200 I agree, he likes to dip as well. I benavidez possibly stopping him...

[@HatersHaveOpinion1]

Caleb Vs Caleb Would Be Awesome

[@chriswillis7315]

Plant is only missing one thing! Power! If he had any type of power he’d be a too 5 p4p but he doesnt

[@harryfotiou7363]

Chris Willis what are you talking about bro hes got plenty of power he's got 17 wins with 10 kos, it's just that he chooses not to always engage, he's more defensive minded, until someone really forces him to go offensive, like benavidez

[@chriswillis7315]

Harry Fotiou I’m a big Caleb plant fan. I’m not saying he has to be a power puncher I’m saying he doesn’t have any respectable power at all!!! I’ve watched all his fights and he touches you at will! You will see as he steps up in competition

[@lionsandtruth2483]

Ward wasn’t known for “power”, Floyd at 47 was called pillow fisted smh so ur statement is stupid n futile. Plant is a special fighter n there’s no denying that.

[@lionsandtruth2483]

N by the way clown if u actually watched the fight the first time Plant sat on his right hand he hurt Porky.

[@lionsandtruth2483]

+Chris Garcia so what. Ward couldn’t put away Brand but it didn’t mean Ward wasn’t p4p. It didn’t mean Ward didn’t have power to stop opponents Becuz we clearly saw Ward punch the soul out of Kov. When Plant wanna sit on punches he can really crack

[@mariobea72]

Ooof bro went the distance w someone David made look like a novice that hasn't fought ammy yet. Rough

[@vicdro7436]

This need a rematch 12 rounds with a c+ Fighter.. Plant fans sweeping this under the rug

[@JesusGonzalez-mj5fn]

Caleb “Pillow Hands” Plant

[@GetSchanked]

Plant is good, but he's got to get better to beat Uzcategui or Benavidez, those two are at the top right now, easily.

[@joesaycanseco7987]

So this is the truck driver that thinks he can beat benavidez? Lmao he can’t even stop benavidez leftovers

[@lionsandtruth2483]

We’ll see how long it takes before David actually takes the fight with Plant

[@fynixmusic9076]

Real shit.

[@tigergang3094]

Plant vs truax next !

[@ds--pu1tv]

And 2 years later its happening lol

[@eugeniofernandez8101]

David Benavidez dismantled Medina...Plant went the distance with Medina.

[@jovannisuperino8280]

Benavidez gonna make Plant a mess.

[@brasstacksboxing409]

Yeah...

[@Leonardo-du8tk]

Porky is a beast

[@Thats-What-We-Dewwwww]

Plant is so marketable.. If he keeps winning Americans can finally have a great white fighter who can actually box

[@CaptainFarthouse]

T.B.E americans like killers, knockout artists, not boxers like caleb who rely on jabs. this is why foreigners like kovalev and ggg develop a stronger following than home grown talent like caleb

[@PIRUSQUAD]

Booji Boy right

[@SuperMan-vk9lh]

Are you stupid dude? ofcourse there are no great white american boxers anymore i mean how many white american kids (boys) at the age of 10 and above do you see boxed in amatuers? zero! and how many white american guys do you see train in the best boxing gyms in the U.S were they have best trainers and coaches? zero! if you see white guys in the gyms its mostly british or eastern european immigrants who are making a name in the states not the american born ones!

[@jah12wi]

The Acient Sumerians Were White He said boxing u fool

[@Con10derRegimeBoxing]

Booji Boy how come America is rooting against Wilder 🤔

[@eckman69]

Porky was able to connect a couple of times. Feigenbutz punches orders of magnitude harder than porky, so if Plant underestimates him, it’s lights out

[@ds--pu1tv]

I know your comment was pre-fight but we seen how that went for Feigenbutz lol

[@curtflirt2]

Plant better start covering up

[@daddyk1ngst0n79]

plant next to be CHAMP..MOVE OVER.

[@pottymouthmexican]

that was the last chance for Plant. never watch him again. he should get 2 first names and sing country music.

[@lionsandtruth2483]

Oh Becuz he embarrassed, beat the brakes off Porky n came out of the fight completely unscathed...u should stick to amateur boxing n ufc for that brawling robotic bs

[@robbyjohngarcia]

How does the Plant vs. Benavidez play out? My answer....Plant needs to be in the best shape of his life to out box Benavidez for 12 rounds. He must also be in shape to take a few big blows from Benavidez. If he can that, he'll win on points as his style is very difficult to handle.

[@lionsandtruth2483]

It’s common sense both will be in shape so that statement is silly to make about world class fighters

[@angelrios5990]

Kovalev vs plant !

[@randomdoggo1928]

Kovalev by brutal murder 😂😂😂

[@QuEsT_X]

I've been watching this kid for a while hes the goods him vs benavidas is going to be fire

[@John-lz5yh]

Benavidez will win faster and more power.. ask direll

[@daboss000]

I'm not impressed by this dude he will got knocked out by top guys that's the truth

[@brandonturner8117]

I like plant but he is wasting his best years fighting bums. By the the time he steps up it will be too late

[@UNSTABLE111]

BRADLEY TORRES this was a step up though, plant did okay but I feel he could get overwhelmed by the more talented David benavidez

[@lionsandtruth2483]

U do realize he been calling out the whole division by name for an extremely long time n not one fighter has uttered his name. He’s clearly going the Spence route n forcing a mando Becuz he’s #2 in the IBF ranking. U clearly do not pay attention to the sport of boxing, I doubt u even watched the fight which is typical casual boxing shit

[@lionsandtruth2483]

+Ultraman619 (Ultraking21) “more talented” what?! David beat the same fighter Caleb just embarrassed. Other than that David ain’t beat NOBODY, he ain’t did shit in the division to be talked about as the “more talented”

[@philsmith6228]

You said it

[@pirrindingo2074]

Caleb's footwork is top notch, Wich makes his defense top notch, angles and movement on point.. He is a problem. He needs to add just a little more power, 2018 Roy Jones jr

[@sevenhearts16]

Pirri Ndingo No ...No ur trippn roy jones jr is far beyond plant

[@pirrindingo2074]

Angel Contreras ..They just need to polish plant a little more,, get him stronger, he's only 17-0, I'm not saying he's going to be better than Roy but, he will be the closest replica to him

[@lionsandtruth2483]

+Pirri Ndingo he’s already polished.

[@sevenhearts16]

Lions And Truth he still gots to get a belt rn hes on the hunt n believe me the belt holders for his division are not ducking he does got skill just not there yet to be compared 2018 roy jones jr ..dont forget rjjr dominated that division he was a champion in 4 divisions so to say something like that is obsurd he really has to prove himself so far he looks really good and has great style

[@lionsandtruth2483]

+Angel Contreras there ain’t no reason on earth to compare Plant to RJJ Becuz his movement is more Floyd imo. That dude wasn’t even watching boxing when Roy was around, mofos like dude don’t even watch fights they watch fucking highlights. Nonetheless Plant is a very special fighter

[@joserod3001]

Caleb got hit a lot in close range, Canelo will destroy him with a few power shots.

[@xavijaysanchez5416]

Porky looked Horrible and Miserable as a Professional Boxer. Dude had nothing, no skill, nada. Respect for fighting maybe had an injury. But his performance was such a disappointment

[@lionsandtruth2483]

It was the style of Plant that negated everything he wanted to do.

[@Host.of.Nightmarez]

You Must be new to the super middleweight division

[@xavijaysanchez5416]

Angel Boma Ye You are stupid

[@christiangarcia3423]

Xavi Jay Sanchez porky is a good fighter but against benevidez he threw more punches moved around more, dodged more, all his other fights I’ve seen him he’s put up a good fight, this time however he hardly did anything

[@yahweh8639]

Absolutely no power. The fight wasn’t anywhere near Toney v Iran or Mayweather v Baldomir. We can all see you try to imitate Floyd and James but it’s only going to take him so far.. Once he start fighting high level comp, Plant is going to lose..

[@svp2010]

Yah Weh Agreed

[@lionsandtruth2483]

U clearly didn’t watch the actual fight to say something as stupid as that. Bull beat the brakes off Porky n embarrassed him the whole fight period

[@yahweh8639]

Lions And Truth I watched the entire fight wtf are you watching?? You don’t understand he sold wolf tickets? You are clearly a casual if you call that beating the brakes off someone.. and he’s fighting FUCKIN PORKY MEDINA!!! check out his record he is a nobody, check out Plant record, all he fight are nobodies, he has absolutely no power like I said , IF YOU WATCHED THE FIGHT, he was tapping and pity patting all night, he was supposed to beat Porky, why the fuck do you think he was the A side? You clearly know nothing about boxing, It’s hard trying to school casuals, but stick around you will be here with the dumb face when he lose lol he’s clearly fighting bums but once he fight high comp as I been saying he will lose

[@johnnythunderss26]

Absolutely true. Plant is trash and can't wait to see him get rocked by a real opponent

[@hhh1200]

i did watch the fight. when he meets an A-B+ level fighter, he is getting phucked up. he's ok but not great

[@flizzy4645]

Boring fighter loooooool. 0:41 jr would beat this kid

[@2ndEzra]

Plant is a average boxer

[@PIRUSQUAD]

Plant was garbage and couldn’t even stop this dude

[@yellowman617]

plant looked hurt, like something was off

[@lionsandtruth2483]

+julio ochoa what?! Nigga is u on dope?! Porky didn’t win a rd barely landed a damn punch. Plant was NEVER hurt but Porky damn sure was hurt the first time Plant sat on that right hand in the 10th rd. That is a fact Porky was hurt.

[@lionsandtruth2483]

What?! Plant put on a masterful clinic n totally embarrassed Porky

[@yellowman617]

I'm saying in terms b4 tha fight...as if he fought thru an injury....not in tha fight

[@martinguajardo1189]

Medina hurt him to the body twice,that I saw,plant folded like a taco. medina isn't anything special NE ways you want to see an ass beating look what benavidez did to medina

[@lionsandtruth2483]

+Martin Guajardo so what ur saying is David hasn’t fought nobody yet as well. U acting like David didn’t get dropped by slow robotic azz Gavril, u acting like he didn’t have a war with him n a fight he arguably lost. At the end of the day there needs to be a real tournament to determine the man at 68

[@americanculture3806]

Plant is basically Jeff Horn 2.0 both white and Can’t Fight

[@greatestever4773]

Lol dats the truth.

[@jimjones2287]

If he can't fight why did he beat Porky easily.

[@ajp135212]

Porky whoops jleon, give degale hell when he was the top 168. Caleb plant beats him easily and he cant fight? lol these casuals are getting worse and worse by the day

[@exp8185]

ajp135212 benavides fight must've took alot out of him. but plant can definitely box.

[@pirrindingo2074]

americanculture 380 .. You must be fishing for attention

[@gibememoni]

plant is gonna deport benavidez
