    Plant was clowning the Mexican monster(the “mm”) the first 4-5 rounds, I thought Plant had it in the bag. Dude was taunting the mm, doing the matador, doing the Roy Jones Jr. Then from round 6-12 the mm turns it up, starts rabbit punching and beating the **** out of Plant for 6 straight rounds like Plant ****ed his *****. The sight was horrifying for a Plant fan. All those punches to the back of the head were brutal.

    I think Benavidez ragdolling Plant was what made the second half of the fight still entertaining to watch. Plant was grabbing hold at every opportunity and Benavidez did what he had to do to exert his strength on Plant. I think other fighters will be more weary of not getting involved on the inside with Benavidez, he should have started the mauling earlier in the fight.

    I think the result was as much to do with Plant gassing and getting sloppy as it was with Benavidez just not relenting.

    Should have been a KO if not for excessive holding and Kenny Bayless.

    You aren't setting a very high bar using Dirrell as a measuring stick.

    Canelo will counter the **** outta Benavidez if he tries mauling like that.

    You dont go from Plant to Canelo and pretend youve developed a pro pedigree. Benavidez is doing what hes supposed to do. He was 3-1 favorite for a reason and the fight went just about as every expert predicted...Plant early and Benavidez late w probable stoppage (that didnt but shouldve happened).

    Canelo backs Benavidez up if he wants to, honestly

    That’s why the fight needs to happen. People can speculate all they want and make assumptions all they want about what will happen, but the only thing that matters is what happens when they meet in the ring.

    A lot of people thought Canelo was to KO Bivol, but he got a schooling instead.

    Bivol fights in a similar style to Floyd, Lara, and to a lesser extent BJS and Plant. He's a spoiler who had every physical advantage. I'm sure those things came in handy for Bivol.

    Benavidez is not a slick boxer. He is a victim of his own hubris. He believes he can outfight everyone. He will not be prepared for sharp counterpunching that rocks his jaw and body. If Plant was supposed to prepare him for that...I've got bad news...
