I hope Benavidez wins tbh, not a massive fan of the guy but just think it’s better for the division and creates a fresh matchup in Canelo-Benavidez.
If Plant wins, does anyone really wanna see Canelo-Plant 2?
My thinking is if Plant wins , which I’m really not a fan of , it will bring movement to the division
More fights to be made cause only one fight can be made with Canelo
I’d rather people step up after a Benavidez loss etc etc etc
It wouldn't surprise me. I always thought Benavides looked confident before fights. He doesn't look confident here. He seems worried and very on edge about this one. He's attacking Plant a lot and it seems to be out of nowhere. He seems desperate to prove something. maybe Plant's inside his head? I don't know. We will see. I hope it's a great fight either way.
You're basing this all on Canelos ability which I think you might have placed too much stock in since you downplayed Bivols win over him,stated it was due to size and not skill which couldn't be further from the truth.
You're not wrong in saying Plant is underrated offensively and defensively. I was one of the few that predicted Plant had the ability to KO Dirrell but Canelo isn't Benavidez and vice versa. We can go on about the differences of the 2 but I think your bias for Mexican boxers is honestly clouding your judgment here. Plant does have the ability to get on his back foot and use his crisp counters and footwork,there's a reason he requested a 22ft ring, and box to a controversial decision....but KO"ing a light heavy like Benavidez?? Highly unlikely...
Bivol has skils but the worst Canelo versión is in 175, thats a very Big division for him and Bivol was clearly way bigger than him
the Best canelo is the 160-168 versión, specially in 168.
So, thats not a shame L.
Plant power is underrated, You Will see
