I do not think that Caleb Plant has any real chance against David Benavidez. For Benavidez this entire fight is just basically a PR/marketing stunt to do right by his fans and his image as well as his overall boxing career. If it was not for his cocaine embarrassment, this fight would probably never even take place.

He did not take any drugs which would enhance his fighting skills/abilities or training regiments, its just him being punished for being found out. This changes nothing in his fighting ability, though. Which is why its going to be an easy win.

I see no reason to punish him for his drug habit other than deceiving his fans who bet money on him to be physically and mentally healthy in his fights. His habit might get him in prison or he might have a heart attack. I guess this makes us feel a bit uneasy to bet on him.

A drug test is part of any sports regulation so David being caught positive deserved punishment. And who knows, his family or any member of his family is also part of the syndicate. Do you remember when his older brother Jose another big potential in boxing was shot and hit in the leg? That injury affected Jose's footwork and was stopped by Crawford.

Anyways, I also think David will be like a bull in the ring, too strong and too heavy-handed against Caleb. Caleb needs to hit David with a damaging shot to get his respect, otherwise, David will just continue to become aggressive and might even open himself to lure Caleb's defense. I see a David stoppage in the 2nd half of the fight but I am hoping for the underdog Caleb to pull an upset.

David Benavidez getting his punishment in the past was already enough for him because every move has always a consequence entailed, but speculating or accusing that maybe one or two of his family are also using it? That's quite a bit too much mate, and if ever you are right, we don't have any right to prosecute them because that's their personal life.

I bet you wouldn't want the same thing too and hear that somebody is accusing you or a member of your family, right? So, let's just focus on the topic and let their personal lives out of this.

For the latest odds, Caleb Plant is the underdog,

And so it seems that Benavidez power is the overwhelming reasons why he is big favorite, as for Caleb 3:1 underdog good already for a ML bet. I will agree with the odds maker, gonna be hard for Caleb to score a win against a hard hitting David Benavidez who has one mission, to have a fight with Canelo Alvarez in the future.

Plant might win some rounds in the beginning because of his experience hehe. However yes, very much similar to Canelo, it will be Benavidez's strength and his physical presence that will cause him to win this fight. It can also be argued that Benavidez has more strength and physical presence than Canelo.

True, David Benavidez is the bigger and way more stronger that Caleb Plant. There is an interview on one of Benavidez sparring partner and his prediction is that the fight will be a 5 rounder. I forget the name of the kid, he is still young though and has been David's main sparring partner for the last 4 or 5 fights of his according to Sr.

In that particular side, Benavidez really have that edge but considering that Plant also a former champ and have decent experienced fighting with different figthers, he might find ways to avoid any aggressive attempts coming from Benavidez. That prediction might be too much but who knows, if Benavidez will have that chance to box Plant then it can end as early as round 5.

Yeah, and not only that, that is sparring though, yes sparring partners can give their predictions but it's totally different when the main fighter in on the ring with someone that the sparring partner try to emulate. I think the one mentioned sparring partner here is Diego Pacheco, 21 year old super middleweight who has been in the camp of the Benavidez for a long time now.

And I don't think that David will long for early knock out, he said that he is going to punish Caleb so he might delay. He can go with the knock out early if it presents itself though. But I think it's going to be more than 5 round fight.

A fight that will be finished in just 5 mere rounds in-favor of the kid, David Benavidez, is already like we are underestimating the former champion. Don't take me wrong, I'm also leaning on David but we shouldn't disregard Plant as if he's was not a former champion with almost no good experience with strong boxers in the same division. Both of them got an advantage for sure but I think it's time for the new generation to face the undisputed, and that means that Caleb is not on the equation anymore.

In any case it appears that much of the voters have the correct vote. Benavidez by technical knockout or knockout. What round does everyone predict for the knockout?

So if we are going to listen to his sparring partner, the fight is not going to last for full 12 rounds. And the under 10.5 is 1.76 as per Sportsbet.io. It might not be good odds though for some of us.

I reckon if could be in the late rounds, when Caleb is already tired and probably soften by Benavidez. I think David is also the stronger of the two, so most likely he is going to push Caleb all throughout the fight. I haven't bet yet, but I probably go with rounds 8-10 for David to finished the job a score a knockout or technical knockout.

And yes, our voters here are very intelligent, they voted for who they think are really going to win in this fight. And that's what we appreciate from our boxing community here, hehehe.

I did looked at the odds right now and the Over 10.5 is good for me to bet, 2.03.

Or if this fight is going for a Benavidez win by KO, could be the same, over 10.5, so round range could by 7-9, or 10-12, both as well are good odds to bet, more that 4.x.

Exact round, this is very difficult to predict though, but again late in the rounds, 9-11.

If Plant will utilize his strategy and he will not engage that much, over 10.5 is decent to win x2 of your bet, I see this one as a good
value bet if basing it with the way Plant executes his past strategy.
Though the chance that he might change that and will try his capabilities to engage and start a toe-to-toe fight with Benavidez, something
that might be new with Plant.
But, along the way it will be depend on how both fighters will showcase their skills and talent to beat one another, anything can happen
with both are really aiming to win.

I do not think that Caleb Plant has any real chance against David Benavidez. For Benavidez this entire fight is just basically a PR/marketing stunt to do right by his fans and his image as well as his overall boxing career. If it was not for his cocaine embarrassment, this fight would probably never even take place.

He did not take any drugs which would enhance his fighting skills/abilities or training regiments, its just him being punished for being found out. This changes nothing in his fighting ability, though. Which is why its going to be an easy win.

I see no reason to punish him for his drug habit other than deceiving his fans who bet money on him to be physically and mentally healthy in his fights. His habit might get him in prison or he might have a heart attack. I guess this makes us feel a bit uneasy to bet on him.

And probably this is where all the beef started between Caleb and the Benavidez:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nVh_HLGI-k

As you can see there is confrontation between the two groups years ago, it was Jose Benavidez in the video but David is right behind.

And so the animosity between the two runs deep and that's why David is eager to get his hands on Caleb for slapping someone in his team, in could be Jose that got hit if I'm not mistaken.

Ok, we don't know what's the reason behind the Benavidez storming Caleb's Plant side on this one. Yes, probably there is a meaning behind all of this. Fortunately for us, we will witnessed it when they face each other in March.

No more excuses in this one, both have disrespected each other though, Caleb swinging and then the Benavidez trying to protect themselves. So let's see how this two is inside the ring and try to take off each other's heads.

I see, now I understand it because I thought that there was no rivalry or dispute between two camps before their discussion about the fight has started.
But as you guys are saying, it seems that this is quite personal for David Benavidez because Caleb Plant laid his hands on his comrade and we know what will happen next because the kid will thrive hard to give his comrade a revenge. This is getting interesting! Grin

Yeah, the rivalry and the hate has been like 4-5 years in the making. And we have seen that in the video that there is a confrontation between the two camps and now it become so personal that they have to settle it in the ring.

And Caleb says that Benavidez is the Interim and that winning against Dirrell, he has to face him. And so he is ready.

@serjent05 - yeah Sr says that his son are going to crack Caleb's head and Caleb mentions that Sr hehehe.

I urge you to watch the kick off press conference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvz6ai6ZqFU

Hehehe, it was very heated, Benavidez mouth was running and trash talking the hell out of Caleb Plant.

It was very intense that they can go fighting in that podium. Maybe Caleb hit it on the mark when he says that Benavidez has issues before like not making weight and the drugs that's why he is so furious and continue to attack Caleb verbally.

But in any case it's already living to the hype in their first press conference.

Obviously, Benavidez hates Caleb Plant there's too much disrespect for Caleb Plant, I consider Benavidez a better fighter but I want Plant to knock him out, Benavidez is too brazen its understandable because the drug issue is very sensitive for Benavidez, this is just the first conference I expect the thrash talks to be more heated and they may even have a brawl if Caleb keeps hitting him.
Thrashtalks like this with both fighters hating each other are good for the preparation of the fight night.

I would agree that maybe Benavidez went overboard here, there's so much hate and disrespect, you can actually feel it when watch the pressere.

So by now it's hard to like the personality of Benavidez and his father, and remember that this is the just the first press conference, just wait till the face off and maybe we will see another Canelo vs Plant action hehehe. Let's see if Benavidez can back up all his trash talking, we know that he has the tools though, but Caleb after this, might be fueling inside and wanted to punch that big mouth of David.

I watch the face-off, which was one heated argument but I like how Plant reacts, being cool and everything. Lol, I wonder why the Sr. Benavidez has the mic and keeps on butting in. I want to see Benavidez get KO'ed on their fight. But still I wonder if these heated argument are just made up (scripted) to make the fight more interesting and cater more viewers. Since it doesn't feel right when the other camp is so heated while the other camp is just chilling.

It's great for boxing though, I mean two warriors trying to knock the hell out of each other. Caleb shows knockout skills in his last fight, David has the punching power, so it's going to be a clash. And it's personal, way back they already have beef and this could be revenge for sure.

The Benadivez says that they are chasing this fight for 5 years and so they are going to give the fans what they wanted to see.

Both camp are super pump, them and their entourage.

^^ I like the confidence of Benavidez here, he is not backing down to any challenge as he has been chasing for this big fight for a long time. On the other hand, Caleb Plant is also confident as he is riding from that huge win, a knockout of the year.

So gonna be interesting how the fight will turn out to be. And also this fight hangs what the future will bring to the young David.

He wanted to fight Saul Alvarez next, and this is his ticket for the big one, better be a statement win because all his trash talking will back fire if he can't back it up against Caleb Plant.

He will be tested with that strong statement he needs to prove that in action, it's easy to say something but proving it will be a tough
assignment, Caleb is not an easy access to reach his dream fight.

A former champ who only got his first lost with Alvarez, something that Benavidez needs to prepare more harder to beat him up.

I like to see both of them proving those words that they've thrown, a big test to who will be the next challenger for Alvarez, unless Saul
will decline the challenge.

Yes, it is really quite a huge statement from a young boxer who aspires to be a champion in this weight class and although he's still up against a huge challenge, I believe and I'm pretty confident that he can manage well against the former IBF World Champion, Caleb Plant. Moreover, this will be a good warm up fight for David and will provide a strong statement that he is ready to fight the undisputed champion who's more stronger and faster.

Well David is one of the great boxers we have, this fight is one of those that can make a difference to be able to put boxing on a level where it goes up, because if he wins obviously the fights will be very good for him, they will look for the best boxers and there will be certain types of fights that are very favorable for his career, this means that the opportunity Caleb has is unique, he has to win to prove his worth, the doors for him and David can open and have a better future, the categories can change, and that can make a difference in a boxer, the opportunities are there, and somehow these things must be taken advantage of.

Caleb Plant: Benavidez Opponents Have Been One Dimensional & Not In Same Universe As Me

Quote

LOS ANGELES — Caleb Plant believes he’s a cut above all of the previous opponents upcoming adversary David Benavidez has ever faced.

Plant (22-1, 13 KOs) and Benavidez (26-0, 23 KOs) will finally settle their yearslong beef in a super middleweight matchup on March 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Showtime pay-per-view.

The former world titlists will be fighting for the right to become the WBC No. 1 mandatory challenger to 168-pound undisputed champion Canelo Alvarez.

If the 30-year-old Las Vegas-based, Nashville native Plant were to win, it would put him in a position to get revenge for his only career loss, which came to Alvarez in November of 2021.

“This is [Benavidez’s] first big fight. This ain't my first big fight. I've been here before. I've been on the big stage more than once,” Plant said in an interview with BoxingScene.com and other reporters.

I urge you to watch the kick off press conference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvz6ai6ZqFU

Hehehe, it was very heated, Benavidez mouth was running and trash talking the hell out of Caleb Plant.

It was very intense that they can go fighting in that podium. Maybe Caleb hit it on the mark when he says that Benavidez has issues before like not making weight and the drugs that's why he is so furious and continue to attack Caleb verbally.

But in any case it's already living to the hype in their first press conference.

Obviously, Benavidez hates Caleb Plant there's too much disrespect for Caleb Plant, I consider Benavidez a better fighter but I want Plant to knock him out, Benavidez is too brazen its understandable because the drug issue is very sensitive for Benavidez, this is just the first conference I expect the thrash talks to be more heated and they may even have a brawl if Caleb keeps hitting him.
Thrashtalks like this with both fighters hating each other are good for the preparation of the fight night.

I would agree that maybe Benavidez went overboard here, there's so much hate and disrespect, you can actually feel it when watch the pressere.

So by now it's hard to like the personality of Benavidez and his father, and remember that this is the just the first press conference, just wait till the face off and maybe we will see another Canelo vs Plant action hehehe. Let's see if Benavidez can back up all his trash talking, we know that he has the tools though, but Caleb after this, might be fueling inside and wanted to punch that big mouth of David.

Most of the time, it's easier to said than done, but let see if how Benavidez will take all the talks in action, I would like to see
a good confrontation inside the ring.

Looking to see for someone to kiss the floor and lose the fight with a KO. It's more on fueling the excitement from the fans
and let them be engage to continue following the updates while waiting for the fight to take place.

I think we will not run out of action in this fight, both are trash talkers and so we will see how it will equate inside the ring between this two.

David Benavidez has the power, he has the advantage on that department, but Caleb Plant is riding high on his knockout win against Dirrell so I expect that he will go after Benavidez chin and test it out and counter a lot with his new found left hook power.

And if that happens then the winner is us fans because for sure it will be a very entertaining fight.
