Caleb Plant:
It’s not about getting in some rounds or knocking him out early,” said Plant. “I’m going to do my best to stick to the game plan. But I don’t see this fight going the distance. The super middleweight division is still hot. There are a lot of names being floated around. I feel like I’m in a good spot.
Trevor McCumby:
He’s always trying to get into altercations. Dude, you’re 32-years-old. Whenever I go out, I never have any issues with anybody. I don’t instigate stuff. He’s got a lot of emotions. He’s worried about Berlanga and being best friends with Canelo. I’m not worried about anything else but getting to Plant, and I’m going to get to him, and I’m taking his heart,” said McCumby.
