    Fight is this weekend and hardly anyone is talking about it.

    It's still a toss-up for me but slightly leaning towards Plant just based on what I've seen during the press conference. Plant seems to have gotten under Benavidez's head and if Benavidez brings that into the ring he's going to be outboxed for 12 rounds.

    I’m pretty hyped for the fight. Two top guys in a weight division going at it is always a good thing. But to your point , not a lot of excitement in the forum and in boxing news over all. It’s just 3 days away.

    The Fury/Usyk bickering sucked the life out of the hype for this fight lol.

    This should be an interesting fight. Give me Plant by close decision.

    No it didn’t. Real boxing fans are still hyped for this fight.

    I should have known to consult the true authority on real boxing fans before I posted that, you're a life saver.

    Hell yeah. A lot on the line for both. Don’t see Plant coming back if he loses. If David loses probably will impact him less but the hype died down drastically.

    Alot of people think that Plant losing to Canelo somehow mean hes going to lose to Benevidez. Now im picking Benevidez by stoppage but i wouldnt be that shocked if Plant pulled it off.

    Hey man I'm just trying to be like you one day, a real boxing fan. It's a long road but I'll get there! Perhaps you can mentor me?

    It's a good match up. Unsure of why there isn't as much excitement as expected to see two top level fighters in their divisions going at it. Maybe because Plant has a loss to Canelo and Benavidez history with making weight and keeping his titles.

    I’m hyped! #1 and #2 contenders going at it.

    Would y’all say that this is David’s first real test? Or at least his best opponent yet?


    What?! That’s some bs!
