This is exactly why I think Benevidez crushes him. Plant seeing red will have him fighting exactly the way Benevidez wants him to.
It's not about Plant being garbage. It's about styles to me and this just has the makings of a beat down imo.
I agree buddy. Caleb isn’t a dummy. His game plan tonight is stick and get out of range. His conditioning is the #1 question on my mind tonight with Caleb. Can he hit and move, move and hit for 12? Remains to be seen but I see a good ass fight on the horizon
Honestly hope I am wrong about this btw. I don't like Benevidez much so if he got stopped or lost it would be good for his ego.
He's smarter than that. You can tell that by the way he's handling the interviews and the weigh-ins. David is the one going off the deep end. I think that David, with his insults and disrespect, focused Plant like he has never been focused before. He created a monster. I am still leaning towards David but he made this fight a lot harder for himself and there is a possibility that he could lose.
I can't believe people are picking Plant here. If he couldn't deal with Canelo's pressure, he is in a world of trouble against a guy who is a true pressure fighter in every sense of the word. Canelo is in fact pretty low volume, although I'll concede his defense is much better than Benavidez. But defense isn't going to matter against Plant, who has no right hand and has not KO'd any elite level fighter. Plant is gonna get walked down and stopped and it could happen before the 5th round. Plant isn't some defensive wizard, he's going to eat plenty of shots. This fight is a mismatch to my eyes and maybe I'm missing something here. I just don't see a path of victory for Plant, who I doubt is able to just move around the ring for 12 rounds without taking damage and slowing down.
I want to watch this fight live, but I just can't justify the expense, so instead, I'll be tuning into the best RbR in the universe.
