Trevor McCumby says Caleb Plant is a “primadonna” and a “crybaby” along with his “delusional” narrative about how he known as him out for his or her struggle on Saturday night time on the T-Cell Area in Las Vegas.

McCumby (28-0, 21 KOs) feels the previous IBF tremendous middleweight champion Plant (22-2, 13 KOs) is a quitter, and he thinks he’ll give up towards him when the going will get powerful of their 12-round conflict for the WBA interim 168-lb title.
McCumby’s quitting remark is probably going based mostly on how Plant began conversing with Canelo within the later rounds of their struggle in November 2021. It seemed like Plant was making an attempt to make mates with him so he would take it straightforward on him and present mercy. Canelo didn’t go for it and knocked Plant out within the eleventh spherical.
Hopefully, Plant doesn’t act out in the course of the face-off on the weigh-in as a result of it will be dangerous if he or McCumby suffered a minimize forward of their struggle on Saturday night time. Plant has been getting form of uppity recently, sounding like he desires to get in a fistfight with numerous folks.
McCumby thinks that Plant has anger points, and he suspects that the thousands and thousands that he produced from his struggle towards Canelo Alvarez gave him a warped view of his expertise.
The 14-year professional McCumby is lastly getting a possibility for an necessary struggle, and he plans on taking full benefit of it by knocking out Plant within the eighth or ninth rounds.
“I’ve wished a possibility my entire profession. It didn’t occur within the first half of my profession. Now I’m getting it,” mentioned Trevor McCumby to the media, speaking about lastly getting an necessary struggle in his 14th yr as a professional.
“I known as out three or 4 different names in that call-out video. So, I believe Caleb is a bit delusional. He’s making a narrative in his head that I’m a nasty man and that I known as him out. I known as him out, however you selected to struggle me. I’m not in that place. He is aware of that.
“He’s going to maintain crying about combating me. He’s the one which selected me. He had 4 different names. He selected me. So, I don’t know,” mentioned McCumby about Plant.
Weirdly, Plant is making a giant deal of combating him. He ought to simply inform the media that he selected McCumby as a result of nobody would maintain it towards him. It’s not like Plant is combating all that always anymore. He stopped combating so much after getting the Canelo struggle.
Some folks imagine the $10 million that Plant obtained for the Canelo struggle took away his ambition, and he lacks the starvation he had earlier than he obtained wealthy.
“Eight or 9,” mentioned McCumby about when he’s going to cease Plant. “He’s a crybaby. He’s a primadonna. That’s why I educated so arduous on this camp. He’s going to see what I’m coming with on Saturday,” mentioned McCumby when requested if he thinks Plant is overlooking him.
If McCumby knocks out Plant, that is perhaps it for him as a result of he must quit on his shallow dream of getting a rematch towards Canelo. Assuming that Plant takes one other yr and a a half off after the loss, he wouldn’t have sufficient left after returning in 2026.
“I maintain saying I’m going to interrupt his will. I’m coming for his coronary heart. I need him to really feel like he did towards Canelo. ‘I’m going to lie down as a result of I’m drained, and that is too arduous.’ Additionally, with David [Benavidez],” mentioned McCumby about Plant.
It did appear like Plant bodily and mentally give up in each of these fights. He was nice for six rounds, although, however man, he had nothing left after the midpoint.
“I’m going to make use of my dimension, my physicality, and let him know who’s boss,” mentioned McCumby about his plans to defeat Plant.
We noticed in Plant’s fights towards Canelo, David Benavidez, and Jose Uzcategui that he gasses out after six rounds. Plant is what you’d name a six-round fighter.
He seems to be like gold for six rounds, however he’s simply a mean Joe within the second half of his fights. It’s like taking Superman and placing a bunch of kryptonite in entrance of him. Plant has nothing left after six rounds and falls aside rapidly.
