    Benavidez vs Plant Who wins and how will it play out

    I see this being a bad beating for Plant. Is this a fight he can win?

    I think the first Benavidez/Gavril fight gives Plant plenty to work with for that fight. I guess this was when Benavidez was in his ******* stage so there's that context if you need it....but Gavril used his jab well, especially straight the body...really stood up Benavidez and tied up his hands. Benavidez has improved somewhat in that area but regardless, he's still tall, long upper body and he can't cover himself all up and he isn't going to get under a lot of punches. So I think Plant's jab will be effective in occupying David, but I really don't think he has the stamina to do that all night - although he did show good stamina tonight stepping up the offense late which I liked.


    Benavidez is very fluid once his combos start flowing, he can take an angle in close quarters and be on the side...he can double, triple up on left hooks for example. I think Plant rolling to that side will spell big trouble once he is tired

      Really interesting fight, one of the best to make in boxing right now. Too hard to call it IMO.

        Benavidez by KO! These is no one even close to Anthony Dirrell on Plant's resume.

          Plant outboxes Benevidez using the jab and good body work. He'll have to walk through hell thiugh ae Benevidez isn't gonna just lay down. He tires Benevidez out and gets a TKO in the later rounds

              If Plant's fitness allows him to go full steam for the entire fight, he wins a wide decision.

              If Benavidez is successful in putting the pressure on Plant and tiring him, it's Benavidez by late knockout.

                Benavidez seems more mentally fit.

                  Benavidez will walk him down and force Plant into a firefight which would play right into David's hands. Benavidez has too much size and power for Caleb. He will make it a very fast-paced fight while wearing him down in the process.

                    Plant seems a bit ****y beating up smaller sparring partners like he did last night. Cant see where that helped him. David B. ... Thats gonna leave a mark!
