LAS VEGAS – David Benavidez’s promoter expects Demetrius Andrade to give his fighter more problems than Caleb Plant posed eight months earlier.

Caleb Plant is strictly in the big-fight business now. Sure he might still be willing to face a few opponents that aren’t exactly known, but for the most, the 31-year-old loves being involved in gigantic fights.

Pound-for-pound lists are getting a bit overstated nowadays. Everyone has one. And, more times than not, they vary to a certain degree. Caleb Plant, of course, has his own thoughts when it comes to those arbitrary rankings.

For whatever reason, Demetrius Andrade has been unable to take part in any of the big-fight fun. The former Olympian believes he’s done his job. He hasn’t fought the best of the best but the names that were brave enough to face him have all come up short. Although it’s taken longer than he could’ve ever imagined, he’s finally getting his chance to play on the big stage.

There might be a few losses plastered to his record but Caleb Plant is still one of the top dogs at 168 pounds. So, naturally, the former IBF champ needs a dance partner that operates near his level.

Caleb Plant’s nickname might be Sweethands but there isn’t a damn thing sweet about him. Fighting inside the ring is one thing but on numerous occasions, Plant has shown a propensity for mixing it up outside of it as well. The background story is a bit hazy but the video was crystal clear. It isn’t exactly known what provoked him, but

There were no hugs, no smiles, and not a single nice word said about each other during the build-up. Simply put, both David Benavidez and Caleb Plant hated one another.

Coming up short against David Benavidez isn’t something that Caleb Plant is dwelling upon. The former IBF super middleweight champion takes his wins just as well as he takes his losses. With that said, he’s plotting his revenge.

David Benavidez is the big bad boogeyman of the super middleweight division. The 26-year-old has a propensity for brutalizing his opponents. Normally, his success is felt right from the opening bell. Against Caleb Plant, however, Benavidez (27-0, 23 KOs) was forced to work a change.

Jermell Charlo has always been both a visualizer and a planner. Before actually becoming an undisputed champion, the 33-year-old visualized it constantly. He thought about it before he went to bed at night and first thing in the morning. Eventually, with knockout wins over Tony Harrison, Brian Castano, and Jeison Rosario - those visions became a reality.
