[Boxing]: Caleb Plant vs David Benavidez

[Questat]

Right, but I do think that Canelo will take care of Bivol first, that's probably his primary target for next year after he healed his hand injuries.

On the other hand,   should not look forward for a Canelo fight, he has his hands full against Caleb Plant. Just focus on this task first and let his fist do the talking. If he wins then good, start talking a potential fight with Canelo and then see how it goes.

Both of them want to fight with Canelo, maybe each of them want to prove which want is deserved to fight with Canelo. Since Benavidez haven't fought Canelo, it will be interesting to see what the result would be. But Caleb Plant have fought with Canelo before, the result is really bad, Canelo won via TKO in the round 11. Plant can't resist Canelo's punch anymore at that's round and he just become punching bag, so I don't see any interest to see a rematch between Plant vs Canelo.

So David Benavidez has to win this fight for us to at least get excited about a possible fight with Canelo because a Canelo vs Plant 2 will never excite the fans. It's better if Canelo will have a rematch with Bivol if that would happen, so the outcome of this fight is very interesting, with that said, I'll be backing David Benavidez to win.

For us we want fresh face against Canelo, but if Plant win then we don't have any choice and so is Canelo for a second fight with Plant since he is the mandatory again.

So all of us, or at majority here wanted a Benavidez win so that we will see a young fighter up against Canelo and we will see if the power of David will finally crack the chin of Canelo (which I doubt).

But it could be a good sell for the fans .

68.8% voted for  David Benavidez to win by KO/TKO, so that's really something, we believe that Plant will lose this fight. I was surprised that only few voted for  David Benavidez to win via decision considering how tough plant is against Canelo, he might survive this 12 rounds and lose, that's my prediction.

As a fan, I like to see a new face against Canelo, that would be a little unpredictable although I still think Canelo will dominate.

Right, we need new face to test how Canelo else, and we want that to be Benavidez because he has been telling the media that he can beat Canelo or at least that's why his father is trying to say to us, but Canelo is just dismissing Benavidez.

It's probably members here think that Benavidez scary power will hit Caleb and that he will go down hard, probably just like what he did against Dirrell in their last fight.

Majority though of boxing enthusiast here are correct, maybe except the last fight of Chocolatito vs Estrada wherein we thought that Gonzalez will win. Anyhow, I still think that Benavidez will win this fight.

Yes, I strongly agree with that! Canelo already closed that specific chapter with Plant, I know that the latter wanted to have his second chance to somehow prove something towards Canelo but I certainly think that he cannot really make any difference if there would be a rematch. Apart from that, David Benavidez is also a rising star which will eventually defeat him in this fight. Sad to say that Plant will just be a stepping stone for David to get this dance with Canelo.

And probably the same result as well if ever Canelo will face Plant again. So nothing for us fans to look at that fight as Canelo has the numbers and I doubt that Caleb will adjust he will be the same fighter. And with that we want to see Benavidez to take the champion Canelo. We will see and if I'm not mistaken, a young fighter that I think has more punching power than Canelo.

And that's how it is, boxers will have to look for someone to be their stepping stone, whether it's the champion or another contender to propel them to the next level.

I think Benavidez vs Canelo will be more interesting than Canelo vs Bivol because both fighters are in the same division so no one needs to adjust.  Aside from that, I believe the Benavidez-Canelo fight is long due.  It is also a great test for Benavidez and I believe has stayed in the background for too long and it is time for him to have a chance for the limelight and challenge the top of his Division.  His record is pretty impressive and I think it is also a good fight for Canelo Alvarez.  Besides, I also think that the fight will cater to lots of viewers and will have a huge profit.

And probably the same result as well if ever Canelo will face Plant again.

Benavidez needs to beat Plant first so this one will be Benavidez's stepping stone to having a chance to fight a Canelo.

That will be the case if Plant will ever succeed on this fight and pursue a rematch next, but that case is very highly unlikely considering David Benavidez's skill is much more superior than Plant. I have no any doubts that he will be just a stepping stone for David to get his most awaited fight with Canelo Alvarez as he is arguably got the needed skills and speed to give Canelo's 3rd defeat. That will be an interesting fight that we should watch out in the future.

[ajochems]

The poool results was favoured the David Benavidez for the KO matches against the plant. But some post favour the plan, plant also had a good back matches experience. They had many winnings record in the past and David is the growing player. So it’s better to look the each people plus and minus before the matches. David is the new player with some energetic games in the recent games. Energetic player will win the game all the time.No one will worry for the old game instead of new win.So the game will make a unique update from this game. Waiting from long to check this game with some excitement of the match.

And it just shows that there this community, specially boxing fans, and I would say that they really knows their boxing because they are favoring David Benavidez here because the kid has power and could really beat Caleb Plant in their fight. They are not just randomly voting, they have their reasons to vote on who they think is going to win in this fight.

So obviously they have weight all the tangibles and intangibles, the plus and minus as you have said.

And for sure, they are going to bet on it as well to make some money base on how they have analyzed this fight.

[Baofeng]

Just some update and it doesn't sounds good, according to Benavidez, Team Plant is demanding too much for this fight that it seems that they are waiting for Team Benavidez to say no,

I feel like he’s waiting for us to say no so that he could have his way out of the fight. We said yes to everything. I just hope shows up and fights David.”

As previously reported by BoxingScene.com, among the requests from Team Plant was the call for the fight to take place in a 22’ ring. The size is two feet bigger than the standard ring size for a fight in Nevada, in front of whose commission TGB Promotions’ Tom Brown had to place the request to be approved. TGB—the main promoter for Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) currently has a hold for six dates at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, including March 18 which was the specified date at the time of the filed request.

Team Benavidez was indifferent to the demand, though all but signing a blank check—while also offering an alternative plan.

https://www.boxingscene.com/team-benavidez-everything-plant-asked-we-kept-giving-just-hope-he-shows-up-fights-david--171169

So in essence, Plant may have said yes, but then put a lot of demand including the ring size and the venue and the entities that will be involved.

Let's see and hopefully everything can be settle down so that we can watch this big fight next year.

[btc_angela]

^^ And that is very tricky indeed, if David Benavidez says no, then he will be blame for everything, for the fight not pushing that's for sure. But then again, if they gave in to the demand of Plant, then it's a big psychological win for Team Caleb Plant and will definitely take control of the fight or even the lion share of the purse.

Very difficult now on the part of Benavidez, but I'm thinking that they will make a counter offer as per the article. That's how negotiation should be, other party should compromise as well and not just one side process.

[LUCKMCFLY]

David Benavidez should know that after Caleb Plant, he will have to wait for at least 1-2 year before he can have that chance especially now that Canelo is still on the process of healing his wrist. So, a tune-up fight will likely happen as the first move that Canelo and his camp would take after the healing period before Canelo will take a much heavier boxers like David or Bivol. Who knows who will have the first dance because Bivol's priority is also Artur Beterbiev (if the latter defeats Yarde on the process)

It looks like Bivol is ready to adjust and go down in the weight division just to make the rematch come true.  So I think right after Canelo recovered, he might be fighting Bivol next.  So probably if ever Davide Benavidez wins this upcoming match against Caleb Plant, he needs to wait longer for a Canelo match.  He wouldn't be the priority of Canelo in its next fight since negotiation between Bivol and Canelo is still going on  and Bivol is ready to take the adjustment so there is a better chance of deal closure.

This is what happens when the champion is a superstar. David Benavidez is the interim WBC champion which means he is already the mandatory of Canelo. But corruption is common in boxing especially in the sanctioning bodies WBA and WBC. Now Benavidez is facing another mandatory which doesn't make any sense. If the rules will be straight-forward, Canelo will be stripped of his WBC belt if he won't face the Benavidez-Plant winner next. But I doubt the WBC will strip him. Don Mauricio Sulaiman is salivating for his percentage in the next Canelo fight.

Bivol will be eager to drop down in weight and face Canelo because he isn't getting Beterbiev who's facing Yarde next. Biggest money available while a chance to become a 2 division champion and an undisputed in just a single fight.

That's the other dark side of this industry, everything has business with the boxers, even the sanctioning bodies are also taking part of the negotiations under the table so that their favorites can maintain their status so that it can produce more milk for them. You certainly got a point, it's expected that the winner of this fight will get to fight the undisputed champion which is Canelo Alvarez. Although, let's already expect what would be the outcome because I don't see that the winner of this fight will have their chance because Canelo wouldn't take any fights if not Bivol.

Well yes, everything is painted there, in the boxing industry, everyone who is here wins, from the executive directors above, to anyone else who is helping the event take place, well and not to mention the isms boxers who are constantly doing things to attract attention so that bettors pay attention to them, I believe that the boxing industry is one of the most fruitful business models and that makes everyone earn a lot of money with just 1 event, those who take advantage of the most are able to almost ensure that life with what goes well for them, this cannot be denied, the money and the business models are already made.


David Benavidez will end Caleb Plant’s career says Jose Sr

By Sean Jones: Jose Benavidez Sr predicts that his son David Benavidez will end Caleb ‘Sweethands’ Plant’s career when they fight in early March in their WBC super middleweight title eliminator bout in Las Vegas.

Jose Sr is super excited about his son, former two-time WBC 168-lb champion Benavidez (26-0, 23 KOs), finally getting the opportunity to beat the living daylights out of  Plant (22-1, 13 KOs) to finally shut him up.

The idea behind the World Boxing Council-ordered Benavidez vs. Plant 168-lb title eliminator is the winner is supposed to get a title shot against undisputed champion Canelo Alvarez.

That said, Jose Sr. says he doesn’t see that fight happening for David because Canelo knows he’ll lose to the younger 25-year-old Benavidez, so that he won’t take the fight. Jose Sr understands Canelo and doesn’t blame him.

All this is heating up and it's getting very good, apparently everyone wants to demonstrate their power.

Yeah, Benavidez' camp will negotiate and will provide their counter offer, it's also their right to counter whatever Plant's camp thinks
is good for them, since a two-way negotiations.

Both camps need to adjust and accept or meet in the middle to push this fight, otherwise it would be a biased one and for sure
both camps are after with the money.

Both sides need to have a decent and acceptable share before they will sit and sign the contracts.

Well Benavidez can tell the public want really went on the negotiations of the fight didn't happen. Sort of like Crawford telling it all as to who and what transpire behind the meeting with PBC and Al Haymon and set the bar straight as who is to blame about the fight not pushing.

So at least Crawford has put the blue print here. Because before when the fight was cancelled we don't know what happened and who is to blame.

But yeah, hopefully they can sort it out and find a middle ground so that this fight is not only in paper but it could be made so that we will see who is the next fight for Canelo Alvarez and we wanted a young Benavidez vs the legend of Alvarez next.

They will have to negotiate and make counter offer and not allow the camp of Plant to have the control of everything here. Otherwise they will definitely getting the short end of the bargain, not just in terms of money, but the ring and maybe the gloves and it will all point to Caleb having the upper hand.

Both camps need to adjust and accept or meet in the middle to push this fight, otherwise it would be a biased one and for sure
both camps are after with the money.

Both sides need to have a decent and acceptable share before they will sit and sign the contracts.

That's what is it to expected, Benavidez is no push over and for us he has the higher chance of winning this fight. So take everything from the negotiation table to the actual fight itself and show Caleb what Benavidez is capable of.

[inthelongrun]

Reading your comments here raised my eyebrows. So this fight is not yet signed? I thought everything is 100% official. I don't like both fighters but earlier I was leaning towards Plant because of the incident that happened years ago where Jose Benavidez tried to harass Plant while training. I honestly believe Plant could've easily knocked the guy out pretty easily but Jose was accompanied by some people including his brother David, so Plant was put in an odd situation. But I hate Plant for demanding the brand of gloves and even wanting to be announced last when he is actually the challenger since David is the interim champ. I can understand though that Plant wanted a bigger ring size.

Seems to be that is the case, maybe what Plant did is agreed verbally to the Benavidez camp thru social media. But it's different when they have to go to a negotiation because each party would have to lay down all the demands.

Bigger ring means he can go and circle and try to avoid that power punch of David. Another advantage is that since Benavidez is flat footed, he will have a hard time chasing Caleb. So good strategy from the Plant team to request and have that advantage.

[Slow death]

So far I consider David Benavidez as the favorite to win this fight, Benavez in May beat David Lemieux while Caleb Plant beat Anthony Dirrell by KO in the 9th round, while Benavez beat David Lemieux in the 3rd round, I imagine that the fight will be much more difficult on Benavidez's side because his defense is questionable, Plant will take advantage of that and if the fight goes on for a long time then Plant will have greater advantages to win the fight, and in the in my opinion Plant seems more like the type of fighter who has more resistance in the fight, so the longer the rounds he has the greater chances of winning because the opponent will be weakened

Reading your comments here raised my eyebrows. So this fight is not yet signed?

Caleb ‘Sweethands’ Plant has revealed on his Instagram account that he’s inked his contract to face interim WBC super middleweight champion David Benavidez early next year.

For his part, the 25-year-old Benavidez (26-0, 23 KOs) already announced the fight to the media last weekend that his management has set him up with the Plant (22-1, 13 KOs) fight for “March” of 2023.

This is the fight Benavidez needs to establish hims

It seems to me that everything is already set for the fight next year, I only see people talking about March of next year, but I don't understand why they don't mention the day of the fight since it's already December

[robelneo]

It seems to me that everything is already set for the fight next year, I only see people talking about March of next year, but I don't understand why they don't mention the day of the fight since it's already December

The date of the fight is very important for boxers because they can set the phase of their training so they don't overtrain or undertrain since there is still no date mentioned I doubt they are in heavy training right now, it's likely that they are finalizing details of the fight, both camps can agree to fight with a contract and finalized all the details I think February or March is a good date because both fighters are on holidays and we all know that this is the kind of holidays where athletes gain weights, so they have two or three months of rigid training and peak on their condition.
