Plant, McCumby trade verbal jabs

Former super middleweight world champion Caleb Plant and unbeaten contender Trevor McCumby were among the fighters who took part in a media workout in Las Vegas on Tuesday to preview their September 14 clash on a PBC Pay-Per-View available on Prime Video and DAZN from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Canelo-Berlanga is the main event.

Caleb Plant: “I’m ready to show the fans what a good old-fashioned ass-whooping looks like. His ‘0’ has got to go. It’s out of here…this is McCumby’s opportunity. Up until now, he’s been a 30-year-old prospect. He’s waited a long time to step up into a big fight and I think it’s because he doesn’t believe in his skills. He can talk all the talk he wants, but actions speak louder than words. For him to choose me as his first step-up fight, I take that personally.”

Trevor McCumby: “I’m not worried about anything Caleb says. I treat every fight the same and train very hard every time. I’m preparing to face the best Caleb Plant…I stay grounded and focused on my goal, that’s the most important thing. I’ve been boxing since I was seven years old and I’ve been on really big stages before. I’m prepared for this moment…I’m coming to show that I have skills as well. This is my coming out fight. The world is going to see who I am. I’m coming into that ring with tenacity.”

  • Do you think that plant may have an off night? Is he looking ahead? I don’t know Caleb has been out there too much trying to fight Garcia, slapping charlo.

  • I don’t know McCumby but get the sense this could be a good fight. Plant is skilled and super tough.

    • Just look at McCumby’s list of opponents.
      He’s in over his head this time.

  • Mc-Crumbley relying on one big punch to get Caleb
    outta there. He’s gonna crumble when he rumbles.

  • i hope big mouth loser plant gets his ass kicked. he is nothing but a club fighter.

    • How you figure? Plant is a world class fighter. Obviously you don’t like the guy, but
      he is not what you claim, and there has to be a bunch of people out there that agree.

    • Gary G, He was originally promoted by top rank and then he stopped fighting for a few years. He turned up on a pro box card a few months ago. He has a lot of pop, but against who? Plant will more than likely beat him, but like I said earlier, is plant feeling on himself too much?

  • You really can’t argue with Plant’s resume! In fact if Jermall Charlo wasn’t as unstable as he is, he’d be on Plant’s resume as well!! Caleb Plant by 8-9th round TKO!!!!
