Comments Thread For: Derrick James: Plant Must Use Movement To Offset Benavidez, Clinch When Close

[1Eriugenus]

Benavidez is a big guy with long arms so getting out of his zone will be difficult. If you had the skills, the best way would be to stand right in front of Benavidez, make him miss then counter. To me, Benavidez would've almost be the opponent BHop would've ordered with fries. Best BHop would beat Benavidez seven days a week. Stand in front of him, make him miss & counter. Obviously, Caleb ain't BHop but he needs to try to emulate that. Moving back from Benavidez is only going to get Caleb KTFO.

Plant uses too much energy when he moves under pressure that's why he got knocked out against Canelo an If he was too small too clinch and hold Canelo he is definitely too small for Benavidez...

Yep!
Reminds me of GGG, the most success fighters had (Jacobs, Dervy, Canelo 2) was to stand their ground in the middle of the ring.

Talking all that mess isn't going to get the fight signed any quicker. Can't you email Spence and Crawford and berate them so we haven't got to deal with the nuisance of all your noise.

I can't force Earl to put the bottle down, get off the couch and fight his Boogie Man. Courage isn't something that can be instilled.
