    Perhaps two of the more clunky full names I've seen while doing these. Anthony David Benavidez vs. Caleb Hunter Plant.... see? Neither one of them naturally roll off the tongue do they?

    I would watch this live tonight, but I cba. Let’s hope Okolie doesn’t blow out Light too early. Want to see some action.

    I think there's several potential banana skins on the undercard today....

    Marcelino Nicolas Lopez will probably upset Orestes Velazquez.
    Abel Ramos could upset Cody Crowley.
    Jose Valenzuela most likely will KO Chris Colbert.
    And while I think Jesus Alejandro Ramos beats Joey Spencer, it's 60-40.

    Although I have little doubt Benavidez steamrolls Plant. So the undercard to me, is far more interesting than the main event.

    Will all the undercard fights be on Showtime or on youtube somewhere?

    It's on PPV, at 9PM US ET. But the Prelims are on Showtime's YouTube channel at 7PM US ET.

    Thanks, I got the 7 day free Showtime. Will get on the youtube channel as some of the prelmins are pretty good.

    No artistry or thought went in to constructing those names. They thought of each one individually and pulled the trigger.

    I don't see how Benavidez doesn't merk Plant and I won't be impressed when he does. Plant stinks, and he'll be yet another dork on Benavidez's resume, just with better name recognition.

    I think I'm simply gonna watch the free undercard on youtube and make fun of the terrible commentators that Showtime has on the prelims. I think plant is going to be on defense all night just like he was against Canelo. He will look to survive not win. Too me ESPN has the much better main event.

    But he's really not. He's elusive, and avoids taking a lot of damage, but when his opponent starts landing consistently, he wilts fairly quickly.

    He's also a one-handed fighter. Everything comes off the jab and the left-hook. His right is even more of a "just there" combination filler than de la Hoya's was.

    I completely agree. He also strikes me as a guy that is just there to hang around and not fight to win. Benavidez is the opposite and is going to put on the pressure with his combination punching.
