Caleb Plant: "I'm One Of The Best Super Middleweights In The World ... (Boxing News 24)

By Dan Ambrose: Caleb 'Sweethands' Plant (22-1, 13 KOs) feels that his ninth round knockout win over Anthony Dirrell (34-3-2, 25 KOs) last Saturday night.

“I noticed how he was reacting to my punches and some of the things that he was doing. “I feel like I did that, and I did that with grace. Staying focused, not listening to the crowd, listening to my coaches, and doing what we came to do. Obviously, with my last fight and everything that came with experience over to this one, and this is a big fight as well. In the past, people said I didn’t have power, and then they wound up standing and looking at me, for the most part, most of my opponents. “I touched the body, and like I said, sticking to the game plan. I’d say it was my best knockout of my career and the knockout of the year. It was about staying patient, like I said and sticking to the game plan, and staying zeroed in. I told y’all in the lead-up to this fight; there was nothing he could do to throw me out of my game plan, put me out of my zone, and that’s what I did. “I don’t know one specific thing, but most important was the experience,” said Plant when asked what was the most important thing he learned from the Canelo Alvarez fight. “I’m here to stay, and I think I proved that tonight. “I’ll sit down with my team, I’ll sit down with Al [Haymon], and I’ll sit down with Luis [DeCubas].
