    Unless something has happened recently that I have missed Benevidez is signed with PBC too. I imagine when Plant said he “made” this fight it simply meant he finally agreed to it (whereas in the past he has avoided Benevidez). He had nothing else to protect at this moment.
    Regarding Plant, I admit I used to think he was a hype job. But when I saw him dismantle Jose U. I realized the kid can scrap a little. To that end, let’s keep this real and understand he’s not some slick Willy, nor is he any sort of Monster. The only thing he can do with David is run and pot-shot him. If this fight is out west I see the fans booing Plant…a lot, as he avoids trading save for once or twice per round. David will need to be hella patient, work on moving Plant to, and keeping him against the ropes.
    i see Plant having his Cone to Jesus moment the first combo that lands on him.
    i predict a fifth rd TKO after Benevidez throws a right to the body, Plant will go negative and the ref will eventually stop it.

        Thanks to both Caleb Plant and David Benavidez for making a big fight happen. We badly need more of this in boxing.

        Meanwhile Jermall Charlo is sitting around with his thumb up his butt...

                This thread is funny. Mexican American Canelo fans are turning their back on a fellow Mexican American in hopes that a Plant win will justify their hero’s avoidance of Benavidez and make him look better in the process. Not very likely to happen tho.

                  Plant should give him a boxing lesson.

                    Name a fighter with a better resume than Nelo.

                    And give as much info as possible.
