    Credit to Plant. He's a good boxer to be honest.

    I thought DB’s elbows were as much or more of a factor as Plant’s holding. It goes both ways

    Plant barely got hit for 5 rounds, he just doesnt have engine for someone so relentless.

    Obviously Bivol is better than Plant and also bigger, but give the Mexican monster his props, dude really is a monster.

    Benavidez vs Yarde would be fun at 175

    You know how badly David beat on Plant that he literally gained respect for him for the amount of abuse he was able to take lol.

    When you can partially reverse genuine animosity by showing how much of a butt kicking you can endure, you know it was a bad one lol.

    Bayless didn't even warn Plant once for holding. He must of been having flashbacks to Mayweather-Pacquaio.

    Be honest do you think he can beat Canelo? It will be like Canelo vs Smith all over again.

    I think you’re right. DB can’t afford a slow start against Canelo.

    If ref isn’t doing anything about the other guy you might as well take things into your own hand. He can’t throw them elbows if he isn’t being mugged.

    Yeah, Benavidez has a huge physical advantage over anyone at 168. At 175, Yarde could hurt him tbh.

    I must say, I'm happy that Bayless saved Plant from getting KO'd repeatedly, I enjoyed the prolonged savage beatdown much more. It's a pity this wasn't a 15 rounder.:D
