[Boxing]: Caleb Plant vs David Benavidez

[btc_angela]

^^ Any fight has it's price, Caleb Plant though will be too small for 175 lbs, in my opinion. For David, yes, let's see if he can do what he has been talking about, on how he is going to knock out Plant.

So this is a measuring stick, sort of a gauge on how he can move on his career. I mean, he seems to be underestimating Caleb and disrespecting the guy and hopefully it won't backfire on him. And if he wins this fight convincingly, then his name might be in contention for the Canelo fight. Still up to Canelo on whoever he wanted next.

Caleb Plant at 175? Did he have some plans to climb on that certain weight class because that's quite exciting because if Canelo was embarrassed on his 2nd attempt, what more about Caleb Plant who doesn't have Canelo's skills.

Not yet, but as I have said, he will be too small for that weight category.

And for David's perspective towards Plant, it's either he is indeed underestimating the latter just because he failed on his campaign towards Canelo or David was just messing around and playing some mind games with him to distract him from his plans. But that moves may have a consequence because the way I see it, Plant is serious this time and David might be a victim.

Hard to say, maybe mind games, or personal thing for him as we have seen videos of their confrontation years ago. And it seems the Benavidez are hell bent on getting their revenge on Caleb. But the thing is that Caleb saw this as just their antics and so he will be more prepared for this fight just to make sure to shut the mouth of David and his father.

Both fighters are eager to win for a chance to have a shot for Alvarez, winning these fights will give them the hype for their career, for sure both of them are preparing and anticipating how their opponents are adjusting to bring everything once they are already inside the ring, whatever the reason from both fighters they will use it to fight in more inspiring way.

Winning is the goal to bring more opportunity in their career. Whoever will be the winner deserves the credit.

Specially David Benavidez, he wanted to fight Alvarez next so for sure he is very much in this fight and will bring his A-game. Also extra motivation for him as he hated Caleb and he wants to proved that he deserved Canelo next.

Alvarez though will have a fight against Ryder and maybe Bivol next. So it might take some time for the winner of this fight to get into Alvarez.

But the thing is that they need to win and win it badly.

Well, Benavidez might get furious on that note because Caleb is just taking their words lightly when in-fact Benavidez's side are serious about it and it's not just mind game antics for them or trying to sell the fight even more. On the other hand, at least Caleb Plant is calm enough about it and didn't let David and his father destroy his plan, that is to have a rematch against Canelo.

Caleb seems to be really confident going into this fight, and him and his new trainer could be a good partnership. Although it is just one fight, maybe it was just enough for Caleb to regain his power and confidence after a lost to Canelo.

But we all know that the power belongs to David Benavidez, but he shouldn't be too aggressive or bring his hands down as Caleb might be preparing for a good counter just like what he did to Anthony Direll. Just waiting for David to make that one mistake.

They needed the win to have that chance to fight with Alvarez and the chance to take his belt, though as you mentioned there are fighters who possible to meet Alvarez first before they will be address, but what is important is the hype to bring their name up and the opportunity to have that money/title fight.

Let see who's going to win and who will showcase all the talent and skills to outperform their opponent.

If that is the case then Caleb should be winning the mind games already? Because if the Benavidez can't get into Caleb's mind then it could backfire on them and maybe it's Caleb that is getting to their nerves and not the other way around.

That's one thing I noticed about Caleb though, even in the Canelo fight, he is really calm until Canelo hit him with that hook during their press conference. But after the fight, they are all professional and respectful to each other. Hopefully who ever wins here, will bury their hatchet and forget what has been said and done in the past.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes we can't stop him, many boxers as well in the past have that ambition to move up in weight and claim the belt. But only few and very gifted athletes have done that in the past, Floyd, Manny, Oscar Dela Hoya to name a few.

Oscar though tasted defeated when he tries to go as high as middleweight and fight his now GBP partner in Bernard Hopkins and get knock out in a body punch. So lets see how far David can go in his career.

It's true what happened with Oscar was something really painful, but I think that happened to Oscar because he began to climb very quickly, the training was not enough and obviously the blows they gave him were on another level, his body had not yet adapted to that, in which, in my respect, gaining weight in boxing is something that is really difficult because the ability to receive blows has to be higher than before and this can only be achieved with very hard training, and to pass quickly unless To be a genius in boxing you have to spend a long time training, only then is it possible, otherwise what happened to Oscar happens.

And for David's perspective towards Plant, it's either he is indeed underestimating the latter just because he failed on his campaign towards Canelo or David was just messing around and playing some mind games with him to distract him from his plans.

These games are always something that boxers use to praise themselves, of course all this is part of the show and something that we see with a lot of emotion, because of what they say, because of what they do, these are things that entertain , but because it is part of the show we must take into consideration that the fight is somewhat close, Benavidez is doing his part, it is normal, Plant on the other hand knows that he should not give up, for me this fight is very balanced, no I would know who to bet on. I don't see a stronger boxer.


Benavidez On Plant: The Only Personal Part That Will Come Of Me Is In Training, During Press Conferences

It goes without saying that David Benavidez and Caleb Plant do not like one another.

That doesn’t mean the entire training camp or even the fight itself will be fueled by hatred.

“The only personal part of it that will come out of me is in training and during the press conferences,” Benavidez told BoxingScene.com. “You won’t see anything personal come out of me during the fight.”

There have been a lot of personal insults hurled between camps in the buildup leading into their long-anticipated grudge match. The two had to be separated numerous times during their February 2 announcement press conference in Los Angeles for their March 25 Showtime Pay-Per-View headliner from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

And they are still hyping this fight even if it is just a week away from it:

https://twitter.com/BOXINGFOTY/status/1636899331344330752

This is a supposedly video of Caleb Plant getting kicked out of a boxing gym in Las Vegas for not paying his gym fees. Not sure if this is real or what or just a promotional stunt for this upcoming fight. How can a professional boxer not pay for a gym? or maybe he has his own gym as well.  And it was said the Benavidez Sr is the one who posted this video and this is not recent.

And with this, they are not trending in Twitter hehehe.

What do you guys think of it?

Caleb just got $10 million in a single fight when he fought Canelo, that's a crazy amount which is even bigger than the whole paydays of both David and his brother Jose combined. Caleb can even make his own gyms if he wants. That dumb gym owner is either broke and was asking for more money knowing Caleb has a lot of it or he got paid like $10k to sabotage Caleb's training. Both sides are trying to distract each other anyways, maybe this is the Benavidez side of revenge after Caleb paid and is now owning DavidBenavidez.com. I'm not a big fan of either side and I was very glad when Canelo slapped Caleb a few years ago. But now I want Caleb to be the first to defeat David Benavidez. Hopefully, he can shake David a bit in the early rounds to earn his respect and fight smart until the fight lasts. I have a feeling that David might get fatigued in the late rounds if he cannot catch Caleb with his power punches.

Most likely this will be the reason for Caleb to give his best to stop Benavidez from further stretching his winning streak and he is a good candidate to take that job. But if Benavidez is beyond ready, he cannot just simply put pressure on him because that would be nothing against him when he is ready. what he really needs is to practice a skill that would surprise Benavidez in the ring that he would have a hard time adjusting to and finally beat him easily with that even though the fight will last 12 rounds. He can learn from Bivol by watching his fight against Canelo.

With the way he handle himself against Canelo back then, yeah, he seems to be the villain and attacking Canelo including his mother. But it seems that Caleb now is the victim of many of the Benavidez antics on and off cam.

So yes, maybe we wanted Caleb to shut the mouth of David in this fight.

And mostly this attacks could backfire on David as Caleb might just be silent right now, but have been training and ready to go all out against Benavidez this weekend.

No, because David Benavidez is a way better fighter than Caleb. Caleb has already been exposed, and he cannot win against quality boxers, especially those who are heavy hitters. I think this fight will not even reach 12 rounds. David Benavidez would also look for an impressive win so that he can get a bigger fight next time.

Lol, this is funny and just like what you have said, how come that a professional boxer or a guy with a million-dollar asset could not pay his gym fees hehe, so yeah this is just a promotional stunt to sell the fight to the fans. Have also read that this is not breaking news as this video was taken last summer.

The fight will be in the weekend and lots of options now on the bookies and i'm looking this win by Benavidez via decision @4.30 as Caleb is a tough guy to knocked out.

I definitely agree with that statement mate. The thing is even if Caleb Plant will win this fight against David Benavidez, he will still find himself in the exact same spot where Canelo defeated him because I don't seriously think that he can make a difference this time. More over, I also don't believe that he overcome David Benavidez because they are on a different league.

The thing is, Caleb Plant chose to be silent from everything especially from David's trashtalking mouth and that is for a reason, because if he will talk back, he might get himself another embarrassment as he probably knew already that his chances against David is not that good.

Hehehe, yeah and someone said that this could be an old video or maybe the owner just wanted his 10 minutes of fame and what a way to do it with Caleb as he will have a fight this weekend against "Fat Boy", that's how he addresses David Benavidez now hehehe. So really very interesting and good fight for us this weekend, I haven't put any bet yet, but we will see.

And in response, Benavidez says that he has been called fat throughout his childhood, but nevertheless, this fat boy has power and knocks most of his opponents.

David though still the favorite for this fight obviously, but we should be looking for good options to bet not just on ML if we are on David's bandwagon.

And Caleb has support from former champion Shawn Porter:

"David's spoiled with his pressure. He breaks everyone down, but I don't think he'll be able to do that to Caleb, so I’m picking Caleb in a late-round stoppage.”

The clip is not complete we don't know the real situation in that short video clip, of course, the guy can pay his gym fees, in fact, he can have his own boxing gym because of his earnings and that's not the way to treat a former champion it's like harassing him if he's not paying a fee you can file a complaint and not harass him.
They have their first face-off hours ago and they are trying to bully each other but hype or no hype this will be an action-packed fight.
We have a saying style makes a fight and both fighters are not afraid to slug it out and get hit to get a hit, the chances that one of them will get knockout is very high, and I have Caleb Plant knocking out Benavidez.

It could be an old video though and not recent.

In any case this fight is very near, in about 48 hours we will finally see this fight. I guess they already put the the hype in this fight. The animosity and personal attacks of the Benavidez to Caleb Plant. And then Caleb not wanting to be affected and saying that this is just another fight for him but he will go for the knockout just like what he did to Dirrell.

So we will see who will be the winner and possible that it will be Canelo next for either in the future.

[Baofeng]

And here is the weigh in:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR4Xe7PT_24

Caleb laying his hands on David's face, hehehe, very intense face off and so they have to be separated as it can go on a full brawl by both camps. Both make the weight, obviously Caleb is more dry and so he is cut, not bad for David though, showing some abs muscle as well.

So this going to be explosive fight as they genuinely hate each other and wanted to take each other heads off in this fight.

Must watch for us boxing fans here and make sure you put your bets already.

I think those acts of hostility are just for a show to make fans excited.  You'll see they will make up after the fight.

Must watch for us boxing fans here and make sure you put your bets already.

Yeah the fight is very interesting because the result of this fight may have an effect on who is the next opponent of Canelo Alvarez.  I think Benavidez will dominate the fight but obviously it can go either way because both fighter have the capability to knock out their opponent.
