Comments Thread For: Caleb Plant: "This The Best Caleb Plant Anyone Will Ever See"

[Punch on Tap]

# Benavidez leaves a lot of openings when he really goes for an opponent - something that Plant could take advantage of.

# Has Plant learned anything from his fight with Canelo and has Breadman helped him to "close" the openings that Canelo took advantage of?

# Benavidez is a very large guy for 168lbs. So if he doesn't make the weight right, he could easily be weakened - rather like Callum Smith was against Canelo.

There's so many IFs & BUTs to this match-up - a really interesting fight - such a shame UK fans can't watch it live.

All good questions. The Kyrone Davis is a good fight to watch. Let’s see if David can box more. Because Davis was undersized (a middleweight) and a last minute replacement. Literally 2 weeks notice and he couldn’t hurt him. Just overwhelmed him. Caleb has to take the steam out of David early and stay off the ropes.

I could see Breadman and Caleb's father throwing in the towel if and when Plant starts getting pummeled, because Caleb is still relatively young with more years ahead, and they know that if Benavidez spots an opening, he's going to try to embarrass him. I could definitely see them stopping it for the sake of Plant's pride, while on the other side, David could be unconscious and his father, Jose Sr., wouldn't stop it.

Why not? Is no one in the UK taking the fight? Not Fire?

Plant got knocked out by a 5'8 midget.

Benevidez is 6'2 and throws combinations and high volume.

Hes getting drowned.

Definitely wouldn't call David "amazingly" strong. He's an accumulation guy. He's never really sparked guys out with one shot. He's also not physically strong either. He's always letting smaller guys close the distance on him and push him into the ropes. He couldn't even knock out canelo's literal sparring partner Ronald Ellis. David's power is extremely overrated. To be 100% real I think plant has more one punch power than David. He actually stuns and hurts guys with single shots quite often.

Theres no question that Caleb is the more skilled fighter. The only remaining question is whether or not he has the durability to last 12 rounds. He's got stamina issues and tends to get lazy as the fight goes on. And this will give David many openings. But if caleb can stay sharp I wouldn't be surprised to see him give David a boxing lesson and maybe even knock him out. David is not the guy everybody thinks. Very persistent but also very flat footed with subpar defense and no head movement.

Well said, couldn't agree more.

I’d like for it to be competitive but just don’t see it happening
Plant definitely has boxing skills but how much does he have ?
Benavidez will overwhelm him and at some point Plant will be that punching bag with nowhere to run
That’s my take

[Silence]

In Canelo: This is the best Caleb Plant.
In Dirrell: This is the best Caleb Plant.
In Bumavidez: This is the best Caleb Plant.

I don't. I want it to be a one-sided beating. I dislike Plant with extreme prejudice.
