[Boxing]: Caleb Plant vs David Benavidez

[Japinat]

Canelo though might be changing his strategies as he is not getting old this year, he said that he wants to fight 3x a year but I doubt that it will happen since he has his hands broken already and that is not a good sign.

I know that all roads lead to him, but he will be very careful as who is going to face in his comeback fight, and yeah it could be Ryder first. And then wait for the outcome of this fight, whether it's a viable option for him or not to face a young Mexican in David Benavidez or hide in the reason that he doesn't want to fight a Mexican boxer next.

I believe the injury is not so serious, with enough time of healing he will be alright and will be back 100%. Canelo is definitely ready for challengers, and it's not a problem if he will only fights 2 times or even 1 time a year as we can assure you it will be a quality fight. Canelo is already 32 years old, not young enough but still capable, still in his prime IMO.

I cannot really say that it wasn't that serious because Canelo still had to go surgery just to bring his wrist back to normal, I bet the the doctors were already saying that he needed the surgery after his fight with Bivol because he's already aching at that time and when he fought with GGG afterwards, his wrist has gotten more worse than what he endured during the Bivol fight. Anyway, the good news is Canelo's hand is looking fine and he needed to test the waters first and fight Ryder to see if it's indeed recovered.

This is not the first time though that Canelo's hand has been injured, Alvarez fractured his right thumb during his fight against Liam Smith, but it didn't require any surgery that time, he had to rest it for 6 weeks if I'm not mistaken.

But this time, it was not just the thumb, but it's the wrist that is hurting, and yeah he had this prior to the 3rd installment fight with GGG, so he is suffering from multiple hand injuries throughout the years and say that he couldn't deal with it anymore so the best course of action is to hand his surgically repaired. Reports says that they have removed the cast already and doing rehab now and see the extend, whether he can throw power punches in the mitt without his hands hurting. It was his left hand btw, that powerful left hook.

Yes, it was Canelo's left wrist, so it will be critical for him if he jumps to a heavy boxer directly. Just like what I said above and Eddie Hearn, even if Canelo's hands will show some positive outcome to the evaluation, he still needed someone to test his hands. Hence, why he's having a tune-up fight before deciding who will he pick next, the winner of this fight or a rematch with Bivol.

[LUCKMCFLY]

^^ Everyone here is inclined to see Benavidez vs Canelo, it will be a fresh challenge for the cash cow and so it will be interesting how he will deal with the youth of Benavidez and the speed and the power as well (although David is flat footed).

And I'm thinking that if Plant wins here, Canelo will not give him another opportunity.

He might go directly with Bivol again, regardless if the weight is 168-175 lbs. Bivol is more willing to fight Canelo at this point for his legacy.

I am not sure regarding Bivol. First of all, he is not happy about not receiving the purse for his fight against Canelo that happened last year. The payment was frozen as a result of US sanctions against Russian athletes and as far as I know Bivol hasn't received a penny yet. And secondly it is funny that Canelo wants Bivol to drain down to 168 lb. Why should Bivol do that? Canelo already lost to Bivol and now it is the former's responsibility to set up a re-match. I don't think that Bivol would agree to move the fight from 175 lb. The risk is too large and there is almost zero reward in offer.

Well the only reason that Bivol will fight Canelo at 168 lbs is that if there is a belt on the line.

“Of course,” said Bivol when asked if he’d be willing to fight Canelo Alvarez at 168 for the rematch next September. “My weight right now is 185. Maximum, 190.”

“At least it would be a challenge for Dmitry and a motivation because if you did it again at 175, would it be interesting anymore?” “Yeah, it’s interesting to fight for belts. To fight at 168 for belts, it’s good. 175, he [Canelo] said, ‘It’s not my weight class,’ is the first thing I heard. Okay, it’s not your weight class. If you want a rematch, let’s talk about 168.

https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/12/dmitry-bivol-still-wants-to-fight-canelo-for-his-168-lb-belts/

So the Russian want's a challenge, but as he had he is walking around 195 lbs, so that is a huge drop on weight for him if he will agree to fight Canelo at 168 lbs with Canelo's belt on the line. And he could be the only person to beat him twice in different weight categories.

I was wondering that, but seeing that Bivol is only looking for other objectives, he is not taking Canelo seriously, Canelo is a boxer who always seeks to have more fame, I really don't know what Cnelo is looking for, I can understand Bivol that he wants to have more titles, belts, something that makes him rise in rank, more in category, Bivol is like a more mature boxer, he is clear that having more titles and more belts will face the best boxers in the world, and that his The fights will be more famous, money will come out of nowhere, and without much effort, the worst thing that could have happened to Canelo is to have lost to Bivol.

Canelo though might be changing his strategies as he is not getting old this year, he said that he wants to fight 3x a year but I doubt that it will happen since he has his hands broken already and that is not a good sign.

I know that all roads lead to him, but he will be very careful as who is going to face in his comeback fight, and yeah it could be Ryder first.

Anyway, the good news is Canelo's hand is looking fine and he needed to test the waters first and fight Ryder to see if it's indeed recovered.

The truth is that hand surgery or something related to hand surgery is very delicate, at least where I live those who are specialists in it are few, the same as those in brain surgery, because it is very complicated, I should have done it if I fell the She did should rest because these operations are very delicate, I would not really be challenging anyone until I feel completely well, at least 6 months is indicated, because afterward it can cause permanent damage and I know that it is serious. However, a boxer is not going to take much into account the guidelines given by a doctor, just because it is a way to take advantage of every opportunity in the fight.

Breadman: "I'm Confident That Caleb Plant Can Knock Anybody Out"

By and large, Caleb Plant has used his otherworldly boxing skills to avoid the oncoming onslaught of an opponent’s attack, while peppering his man with just enough offense to pick up the victory. However, following his 11-round stoppage defeat at the hands of Canelo Alvarez in November of 2021, Plant has ostensibly flipped a switch.

With the help of world-renowned trainer, Stephen “Breadman” Edwards, Plant (22-1, 13 KOs) seemed more daring and audacious during his showdown against Anthony Dirrell on October 15th. On the night, after lulling the former two-time WBC super middleweight belt holder to sleep, Plant uncorked a pernicious left hand, one that saw Dirrell’s lifeless body hit the canvas for a protracted amount of time.

[Kemarit]

^^ I'm still not totally sold of Plant's knockout power or what his training has been doing on him. He is not known to have one punch ko as far as I know. He just caught Anthony Dirrell very cleanly with that punch and so he goes down hard and was not able to come back from the canvass. And no offense to Dirrell, but he look shot already and way past his prime in my opinion. They just glorified Plant now as someone who has a one punch knockout artist but he is not. Against Benavidez, it might be different though as Benavidez has the advantage as far as power goes, IMHO.

True, of the 22 fights he had, he only had 13 KO's, so we cannot consider him as a KO artist.
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/684493

That also depends on his opponent, and against Benavidez, I doubt he would win by KO, maybe the complete opposite will happen if he will not be careful. He losses against Canelo, so we can say he is not really that great, just an average boxer IMO.

[Baofeng]

Quick update, according to reports, the official date for this fight is March 25.

BoxingScene.com has learned that Benavidez and Plant will fight March 25 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Phoenix’s Benavidez (26-0, 23 KOs) and Plant (22-1, 13 KOs), a native of Ashland City, Tennessee, jointly announced through their social media accounts November 3 that they agreed to contractual terms.

https://www.boxingscene.com/david-benavidez-caleb-plant-ppv-fight-set-march-25-mgm-grand-las-vegas--171895

So it's going to be a big fight, as it will be held in MGM in Vegas, good week for boxing then and for gamblers alike as they can travel to Vegas that weekend to support their boy in this fight.

However, the odds are still not listed on our favorite sports bookies, but I'm seeing Benavidez as a slight favorite here.

Yeah, the level of opposition and when he steps up against a great boxer, he losses to Canelo. So I would agree that he could be define as just a average boxer, although his trainer wanted to put like he suddenly becomes a monster, and a knockout artist which is not.

On the contrary, David Benavidez has 26 fights and 23 by knockout = 88.46%.

Now that is the definition of a knockout artist as per his record.

He might go directly with Bivol again, regardless if the weight is 168-175 lbs. Bivol is more willing to fight Canelo at this point for his legacy.

Yes, because that will be a new sight to see and aside from that, David actually got the upper hand between him and Plant (even if he's a flat footed). David already proved himself that his time has already come to have bite against the champion and Plant is the last hurdle before he can actually face Canelo. But if ever it turns out that Caleb Plant will be the winner here, there will no hype from him to chase Canelo because people are not expecting anything from him anymore. Straight fact, he's already done.

Yes and that's what majority here wanted Benavidez to win against Caleb so that we will not see him against Canelo the second time around. And maybe Canelo will be motivated facing a young challenger in Benavidez for him. It's like turning the tide, now Canelo is the more experience one and some young challenger trying to get his belt. So hopefully all the scenario that we wanted to see will happen, David Benavidez winning with a statement, then Canelo willing to give him the chance.

For that reason alone, I would like Benavidez to win, because now Caenlo is looking for the fight against Bivol, but until Canelo has something to offer Bivl as a belt or a title, he is no longer interested, that is what what Bivol wants, if this young Benavidez manages to do the feat, I would like to see this challenge that he will undoubtedly do, but if and only if he wins, otherwise I see it as very difficult, however some of us appeal that the young people can surprise and If Canelo achieves the feat, the mere fact of possibly beating him is something that would open many doors for him, and I still think that even Bivol would want to fight him.

Dmitry Bivol Backing David Benavidez In Caleb Plant Clash

Caleb Plant vs. David Benavidez hasn't formally been announced, but that hasn't stopped both boxers from claiming that their showdown is signed, sealed, and delivered.

By and large, outside of Canelo Alvarez, both Plant and Benavidez are regarded as the two most skilled fighters in the entire super middleweight division. With the winner of their 168-pound clash ostensibly next in line to face Alvarez, and considering their long-running feud, countless names outside of their division are patiently waiting for the final outcome.

Canelo doesn't have the liberty to rest that long because I think there's a timetable in when can they only pursue the rematch with Bivol (although I'm not really sure about this but I think there's only a time limit) anyway, correct me if I'm wrong about this. Nevertheless, I really do agree with your sentiment because Canelo would lose everything if incase he'll be chasing diamonds in rush because his wrist might be the payment.

Back to the topic, I respect Stephen Breadman's perspective towards this fight and we all have our own bias and perspective in this bout. Still, I'm not that convinced that Caleb will be the one who will be smiling at the end.

Dmitry Bivol Backing David Benavidez In Caleb Plant Clash

Even the WBA champion (LHW) Dmitry Bivol is backing the young blood and somehow certain that David will prevail in this fight. Although, Bivol himself admitted that his choice was quite biased because he and David had a bond in the past where they sparred with each other but the thing is, Bivol witnessed what this kid has that made him believe that he can ultimately defeat Caleb Plant.

How about you guys, got any thoughts about this? Anyway, I hope this fight will listed officially and won't be one of the good fights that will not materialize.

I guess if we look at the votes, it's David that is the clear favorite for us boxing fans in our community. I mean it's a smart  thing to do, to vote and then bet on the young guy because he has been chasing this kind of fights and wanted to show that he has the tools to become a future champion.

So I believed as well the David will win against Caleb, but it will be a very hard fight for his young career and he will be tested here.

Besides, it will be a lot more interesting if we can see some new faces challenging Canelo Alvarez's throne and this David indeed got some real talent and IQ compared to what Caleb had shown when he had the chance to upset Canelo. I mean, it's not that I am underestimating Caleb Plant, it's just that I'm more inclined to see what David can do because Caleb already had his chance and I don't expect anymore from him to make a difference.

New face to challenge Canelo if in-case he will beat Plant, I believe that fans will love seeing Canelo fighting with another challenger in his
own division, unlike with Bivol's rematch inside this division Canelo doesn't need to adjust.

Still too early to conclude the outcome and with both fighters are preparing we can say that as of now they have equal chance in winning.

All will only be decided once we hear the announcer calling the name of the winner either KO or UD.

Yes, again, we appreciate him getting the knockout of the year against Dirrell, it was the timing and it was really perfect. But that is the first time that he won with that statement knockout against someone and then now we think he is a great KO boxer which is not. As you have said, he is just an average boxer who gets the job done the last time. But Benavidez is strong and maybe he is the one who is going to sleep on the canvass this March 25.

Yeah, it might be boring for Canelo to face Caleb Plant again, he knows how Caleb is, despite him knocking his last opponent. So for us, David is the better option for Canelo next. But we shall see, I read that Eddie Hearn is talking to Ryder and Canelo side to make the fight.

And since the fight is lock now, it's time for David to show what he is capable of against Caleb.

Maybe after he won, and calls out Alvarez, we shall see if Canelo will fight him next or go to an easy tune up fight against John Ryder.

Canelo is not that kind of a fighter, he would not go on a easy route, in fact, he tried to move up in weight and fight a champion, so I'm expecting that he will use his time very well and that being said, he will fight the winner of this bout.

Good thing the fight is happening in a neutral venue. And Arizona fans of Benavidez can travel and enjoy the weekend in Vegas since it is only a few-hour drive or probably an hour by plane.

I haven't seen nor checked the odds too and I agree that the younger and undefeated Benavidez will be the favorite here. My prediction is Benavidez will be the favorite at 1.50+/- something. It's interesting if Plant's slickness can survive the aggression and powerful punches of Benavidez. I am now rooting for Plant and hopefully, he can get a win over this arrogant kid. Although, the experts' pick here will be by Benavidez KO/TKO.

And to our boxing fans, don't forget to watch this weekend the defense of unified champion Artur Beterbiev against Anthony Yarde in London, England.

Canelo is knows the value of his name, and the route that he will go probably if where the money at, we all know this man
and he's always getting huge portions of the money.

But I'm expecting him to give the winner a chance and face him, a good way to defend his belt and make him still the top fighter from this division.

Waiting for the winner of this fight and see if what will be the next update.

The winner of this fight will be a good match up to canelo alvarez and we all know that canelo for sure will fight it because he need to defend his title and once he successfully defend then he will be king of his division. But before that this match caleb plant vs David Benavidez will face and aiming for the win to continues their career and be a champion if they can defeat the top of their division .

That's what I thought as well, Canelo is going to fight the winner which I think will be Benavidez. And this fight is more exciting to watch as we haven't seen them fight before, unlike Canelo fighting Plant which we already saw how he dismantled him in round 11 when they met.

Benavidez should do his best to win this match though it will be a tough and challenging match for him to face plant. He must show off his real strength so he could possibly face Canelo in the future. I believe that Benavidez still has a lot to prove so it will be a good chance for him to showcase his real capability in the ring. It will be an exciting match and I hope this would happen early this year.

And since the fight is lock now, it's time for David to show what he is capable of against Caleb.

Maybe after he won, and calls out Alvarez, we shall see if Canelo will fight him next or go to an easy tune up fight against John Ryder.

Canelo is not that kind of a fighter, he would not go on a easy route, in fact, he tried to move up in weight and fight a champion, so I'm expecting that he will use his time very well and that being said, he will fight the winner of this bout.

Well, the truth is, Canelo Alvarez's situation now is somehow complicated because he just got his wrist done by a way of surgery. It is not that we're supposed to underestimate him because his next fight will likely be with John Ryder but he and his camp got a reason because Canelo needed an evaluation of his wrist to ensure that the tissues aren't that heavily affected, that said, he needed to take a tune-up fight with Ryder before fighting anyone else that got heavier name to see how will his wrist response with the fight first.

Yes, I was about to say that, we all know that he had this Mexican Warrior mentality, facing challenges, but let's face it, he is not getting any younger and that's why he has this injury needed to be repaired. So it's not that it's 100%, it has been injured and at times, it could be broken again or it will hurt.

And that's why his camp is keen on fighting a tune up first to see how wrist and his hands, specially the injured hand is his left, the bread and butter left hook of his. So fighting somewhat a B-boxer wouldn't hurt this career. And on the contrary it might help him and his team re-assess that hand of his.
