Match Boxer is not a direct upgrade on technical terms as it is a balanced plant. If the sun cost was less but had the abilities of two plants combined, THEN it would have been an upgrade without a doubt (like how Cold Snapdragon, Grapehsot, Explode-O-Nut).

But this plant has a sun cost of 225 meaning 175 for Torchwood and 150 for Bonk Choy which exactly makes that figure. Sun cost wise this is a balanced plant (like how Pea-nut is) but ability wise it is a bit better. This is not a definite direct upgrade, more like a side-branching upgrade. Yes, it is a better plant but not like the three plants above I mentioned where there's no doubt at all. At this point, no one will Wall-nut because they have Explode-O-Nut. No one sane will pick Snapdragon over Cold Snapdragon. But this plant keeps that thought in mind somewhat.
