RBR ***Official*** Sherdog Sanctioned Benavidez vs Plant PBC / Showtime PPV 3/25

[KAZSoliloquy]

So did many people here.
However dummy I'm talking about the 117 score.

that’s really not a bad score.

 

[SuwoopBangin]

Sergio Mora would beat Plant

Now that's just disrespectful.

I think it was

 

[GolovKing]

Plant has nice defense in the early rounds but doesn't counterpunch and make his opponent hesitant. Mayweather did that even with frail hands. So basically he's slick, has a bad gas tank, has no power and has bad timing. Not really sure why he's a big fight.

Benavidez is who we thought. Exciting combos and good power, but not much else.

His defense is heavily reliant on his legs too. Once his legs go, he becomes very hittable. Floyd could stand in front of you and not get hit

 

[what-wut]

Unless Canelo is too diminished at this point, he walks Benavidez and finishes him.

 

[Roids]

I expected more from David, he showed too much respect and didn't let him his hands go. Very disappointed even with a win.

I do - fuck lips

diving for the waist every and any opportunity is not clinching.

Here's the unified rules. Go ahead and point out where it says what you're saying

A foul is an action by a boxer, identified by the referee, that does not meet the standard of a fair blow or the conduct of a responsible professional fighter. Fouls may include, but are not limited to, the following types of contact or acts:
1. Hitting an opponent below the navel or behind the ear;
2. Hitting an opponent who is knocked down;
3. Holding an opponent with one hand and hitting with the other;
4. Holding or deliberately maintaining a clinch;
5. Wrestling, kicking or roughing;
6. Pushing an opponent about the ring or into the ropes;
7. Butting with the head, shoulder, knee, elbow;
8. Hitting with the open glove, the butt or inside of the hand, or back of the hand, the elbow or the wrist;

9. Purposely falling down onto the canvas of the ring without being hit or for the purpose of avoiding a blow;

10. Striking deliberately at that part of the body over the kidneys;
11. Using the pivot blow (pivoting while throwing a punch) or the rabbit punch
(punches thrown to the back of the head and neck areas);

12. Jabbing the eyes with the thumb of the glove;
13. Use of abusive language;
14. Unsportsmanlike conduct causing injury to an opponent that does not meet the standard of a fair blow;

15. Hitting on the break;
16. Intentionally spitting out the mouthpiece;
17. Hitting on or out of the ropes;
18. Holding rope and hitting;
19. Biting/spitting;
20. Not following referee’s instructions;
21. Stepping on opponent;
22. Crouching below opponent’s belt;
23. Leaving neutral corner; and
24. Corner second shouting.

Notice they actually makes a distinction between holding and clinching in #4.

He was though. His shoulders were wider and weighted more. This was the first time David did seem to have his size advantage.

I literally said Benavidez had the size adv

interesting point and also correct

 

[Seano]

Kind of mixed on Benavidez there. He did what he was supposed to do I guess but wasn't very impressive for the first half of the fight. It wasn't until Plant was huffing that Benavidez got anything done.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Unless Canelo is too diminished at this point, he walks Benavidez and finishes him.

Clenelos stamina late in fights is sus. 40yo Gennady won a majority of the final rounds lmaooooo

Benavidez cant afford to start too slowly against him but he can stop him late. His durability and stamina arent going away. Clenelo has better upper body/head movement and defense upstairs than Plant but Caleb has better feet.

 

[Hagler]

Plant cannot beat the likes of Canelo and Benavidez over 12 rounds with this kind of physical tools. Looks like he achieved what he could but has now a clear view of what he can and cannot do at this level.

Props to Benavidez for keeping his focus and adjusting well to the clinching. I hope the Canelo fight will deliver.

Good night of fights.

Naw... he was getting frustrated a bit in the beginning of the fight, but he adapted and absolutely dominated towards the end of the fight. He fought a smart fight. when you could have been discouraged or start going wild.

Plant is a very good fighter and this makes the Canelo fight more intriguing...not that that fight would look anything like this one did, but still, finally David beat a name opponent soundly.

Canelo will break his ribs, and maybe his face. You cant beat Canelo by relying on getting hit.

Canelo will be pressing the action and he won't be able to take the beating GGG was taking in the first half of that fight. Benavidez can't open up too easily against a powerful counter puncher like Canelo.

 

[Smokes]

Saul beat Benavides but David has earned the fight. He just headlined a PPV and is an undefeated champion, no reason for Saul to not fight him if he wins his next fight

I dunno. I have been drinking i need to rewatch but david definitely held back and wasn't his usual self. plant is awkward but David should have finished him. He threw a pretty poor volume compare to his usual self.

Gennady did the first fight. He just got robbed horribly.
