Comments Thread For: David Benavidez Starts Slow, Batters Caleb Plant in Second Half For Decision Win

[Theshotyoudontsee]

Benavidez fought two men in the ring. Replace Bayless with a decent ref and Plant would have been stopped. Terrible job by Bayless. Plant's holding was ridiculous.

Someone here said the other day, Plant is a warrior with incredible skill. I give Plant credit for taking a beating, but he is a runner holder who isn't in Benavidez's class.


Benavidez ends Canelo's career if they fight. But they won't because Canelo will probably retire after the Bivol rematch, or he will vacate instead of facing David.

Benavidez Bivol is a good fight. I think Benavidez wins but that is a close fight.

Biev likely beats Benavidez right now. But in a year or two, likely not. Benavidez is in his prime and will be for a good few years. He is the best pressure fighter in the sport after Biev right now.

I got way too high and was way too sleepy by the time the fight concluded to offer any real commentary, but I will say now that I really admire David’s consistency with pressure; he’s second to none in that respect, but ultimately I still think he’s a mediocre boxer and Plant exposed him the first five rounds. Problem is, Plant gasses worse than anyone and he made the mistake in the second half of staying too close and clinching way too often. I was rooting for Plant, but the dude just didn’t have the pop or stamina needed to offset the pressure. So, congratulations to David; I hope he DOES get the Canelo fight because he has earned it, but I think Plant did more than enough to squash that boogeyman myth. He may bury Canelo, but the second he moves up to LHW, he’s toast.

Benavidez did what he had to do and clearly dominated the second half of the fight. Is he ready for Canelo or Bivol? Either fight would be interesting but I think Bivol may be a little too crafty.

Both canelo and bivol smoke benavidez no doubt. They will not bend like fckn origamis 2nd half fight like plant did. You can be sure of that.

You just can’t stop can you kid? It eats at you…that’s typical of a prepubescent child. The inability to control one’s emotions such that they feel the need to reply. Hey, I get it; I was there many many years ago. That’s ok, it’ll pass kiddo. The moment you realize you no longer feel the urge to open your c ock holster or the need to incessantly bloviate you then become a man of wisdom and much more reserved. But, please do continue.

who is he obsessing with now?

No dumbass. The reason plant survived was because David doesn't have knockout power. Stop making excuses you silly b*tch. Plant was making David look foolish in the first 6 rounds. Plodding around the ring lunging at air like a big ass lurch. One time he even went to the ropes because he didn't know what else to do ......david is a one dimensional plodder with slow feet and weak defense. He also can't fight going backwards. And he's gonna have no choice to do it because he's definitely not gonna be able to back canelo up. Canelo is gonna punish David and stop him in the later rounds. He might not ever be the same again. David is not an elite fighter and last night proved it. Better accept it now you fruitcake.

why you so emotional? You’re clearly a phag using an alt account to vent your feminine emotions. I know in canelo fan boy minds he’s some dominant force but in reality he got his ass kicked by bivol and showed trash stamina against a 40 yr old has been. Benavidez beats his ass while you b***h boy cry in a corner in the fetal position.

168 is a weak division so I’m not sure who would beat Plant outside of who has already beaten him. I think Benavidez beats canelo. The only reason Plant survived was because he had a 22 ft ring and was on the move a lot. Canelo doesn’t and can’t move like that. Plus his stamina isn’t great. Benavidez overwhelms him in the second half as well.

Kenny Bayless must've thought Floyd was in the ring. The worst ref reffing I've seen in many many years. Right up there with Mares vs Agbeko's nutcracker scandal.

[powershots]

Plant def gave Benavidez some problems early on. So didnt the freakin ref! Kenny Bayless ******! Tooo involved in the fight. Prolly looking after Floyds pockets if he bet on Plant.
