David Benavidez Vs. Caleb Plant Press Conference Highlights...

I favor Benavidez by late KO but I'm rooting for Plant

 

Thats exactly what I thought. Before I was on the fence now I want Plant to win because Benavidez came across as trash.

 

I dont understand where all this plant is a better boxer talk is coming from, because from ive seen benavidez is levels above plant. Faster hands, more power, quicker reflexes, bigger and longer. Only thing plant does better is hes more defensive minded while benavidez is pure offense.

 

Neither fighter is scared. Otherwise, both men would have opted for other opponents.

Plant said he'd show up, on weight, not on cocaine, and get his hands raised.

That he didn't engage in the juvenile "you a p*ssy, you a b*tch" stupidity does not reflect poorly on his character or courage.

 

Weird how his Twitter responses were about things Benavidez said at the pc instead of just saying them at the pc.

 

Who cares? Dirrell talked a lot before the fight and ended up on the canavs, removed from his senses.

What fighters say or don't say at a press conferences is entirely of no consequence.

 

Bro that Dirrell win was not impressive, Plant before even landing that KO punch didn't look so impressive & the fight was touch & go instead of being what it was actually supposed to on paper with yet another mismatched older fighter made to feed on for Plant & oh David had beat Dirrell up bad prior a few years back & since then tell me what had Dirrell even done? Oh yeah Nothing!

The Dirrell fights whole purpose was to gauge the people with confusion & false hype the same way they've done it in Boxing years over, i don't know why that concept escapes some, i would have thought most would have been aware of this formula by now but whatever,

There seems to be some people hoping Plant wins because of how Canelo's Ko'ed him over almost as a empathic tap,

If people followed the Benavidez/Plant saga more closely from the beginning then they would have known about David's reaction for mouthing off so bad.

 

I haven't followed the Benavidez/Plant beef for the same reason I don't watch soap operas.....I have no interest in melodramatic bullsh*t. If that's your thing, more power to you.

I'm not hoping for anything. I have no vested interest in this fight one way or the other. Similarly, my comments about Dirrell were merely meant to demonstrate that pre-fight histrionics offer very little insight into a fight's likely outcome. No more, no less. I would have thought that was obvious but whatever.

 

Well you did mention knowing about the insults spewed from Dirrell to Plant prior to their fight,

So Plant dissing him before Benavidez spoke about the cocaine wasn't juvenile & over played at this point to you? & you would expect David to respond in one way or another no?

Plant has been avoiding him for years over as i saw your comment mention about how no one is scared,

I guess after losing to Canelo while banking in & now the only way to another Canelo rematch/purse is facing the guy you have spent years avoiding would come across a bit at least jammed in,

His fight with Dirrell was his way to once more avoid David but how far can Plant keep going as he is in need for more cash & that coveted WBC title he so desires, no big fights for him either way & now with him losing that precious "0" of his has definitely loosened up his courage,

But i forgot you haven't followed their supposed Beef as that melodramatic **** ain't your thing.

 

It’s a sissy move to stay quiet when the guy is right in front of you and then start talking smack online afterwards.

 

Yes, I was aware of Dirrell's comments....because I watched parts of their press conference. Nevertheless, I haven't the slightest idea as to why Plant and Dirrell don't like each other or how the dispute evolved.

Knowing about a beef and following a beef are two very different things. Again, I assumed this stuff was self-explanatory, but apparently I was wrong.

I never suggested that Plant was guiltless or without fault in this entire affair, or what can only be described as a rather ridiculous press conference. Rather, I simply stated that I don't believe either man is afraid of the other.

And on what do I base this crazy, tin-foil hat conclusion that Plant isn't afraid of Benavidez? He signed a contract to fight him.

Your efforts to explain why Plant elected to fight Benavidez...sorry, David....amount to nothing more than opinion and supposition.

Signed contract > rando Internet opinion.

(Nor, incidentally, was the Dirrell-Plant fight "touch and go." While I wasn't particularly moved by either man's performance, Plant was up 80-72 on one card and 79-73 on the other two. That's hardly "touch and go.")

 

And what did Plant say online that you believe he should have said at the presser?

Enlighten me-- I don't follow Plant, or any boxer for that matter, on social media.

At the presser, I heard Plant say he'd show up on weight, not on cocaine, and would "whoop his ass." Later, when the two were standing up exchanging pleasantries, Plant said something to the effect of "you ain't gonna do nothing" when Benavidez was threatening to do this and that.

What am I missing?

Don't misunderstand, I don't have a dog in this fight other than I don't believe Plant is "scared" of Benavidez, and the fact that he didn't engage in tit-for-tat insults with Benavidez doesn't prove otherwise.

Ah duh i mean what did you expect going into it that the old inactive large underdog Dirrell was going to go in there & win that fight, you must have been impressed, i think this analogy would have been better served with an balanced fight not a mismatch,

Don't think there was anyone thinking Dirrell was going to win, but yeah cool,

Consequence or not there's been plenty of fighters who have said & delivered what they promised in pressers of the past regardless.

 

So watching parts off the drama unfold, i guess all this dramatica back & fourth may actually be to your liking after all & it's okay to be wrong,

Nor did i suggest that you thought Plant was guiltless myself but your previous post was alluding to ***** & ***** being juvenile but not what Plant had been saying before that correct?

If you said you don't follow the drama then how would you reconfirm your believe that Plant didn't avoid him in the past or the fact that Davids response came from nowhere,

Random internet opinion yeah & yours is just one of many more,

Wasn't a 79-73 or 80-72 type of fight to me but it must be to you as you quoted those judges as a way to make your point more valid.
