Benavidez Plant UAOOOOO
What a match what a match!!!
Plant showed that he has a heart and a technical brain superior to the normal champion; he cashed in everything; the first few rounds he won them, almost as if El Bandera had to enter the match, but enter the dispute in his own way; not a jab but solid jabs to look for the fight; Plant moves moves and strikes with great tactical intelligence; very nice to see, the first rounds are for the Englishman and to him the honor of never giving an inch. From the sixth the music changes a hook and a short jab… powerful shifts the match and Plant’s head, who remembers who he has in front of him; the best super middle around( much respect also for Mr. Canelo who is a monster); Benavidez’s limitation is wanting to do the match the way he wants, without applying a linear game plan that would have led him not say to risk less, but to have more scoring margin; although this is one of those fights where from the sixth on El Bandera’s physical and power superiority is not questioned, and it really makes the difference; Plant a couple of times he was kd on his feet, saved him his cunning always placed his head in the clinch on his opponent’s left aspalla preventing him from striking, and even the bell towards the end of a final round his legs were shaking was straight . . he was out; but truly a great great Plant and an inimitable Benavidez; who only in the twelfth round used the jab but found a huge Plant to defend himself and put back the blows, although the difference post punch visible; Benavidez’s blows leave marks, Plant’s hurt but did not have the power that can scratch a man of such physical dominance.
Amazing really how Benavidez conducted the match, told him: you will lose the way I want, I will attack you in the face and a few times in the body coming forward like a bulldozer and you will be able to nothing; and it was so, great technique in the dodges of the American who then comes back with deadly blows; at the beginning of the ninth after a ‘eighth round to thrill, Plant puts a nice low blow to contain El Bandera, who had caused a few rounds before a cut with a deadly hook; this could be match the year of the category; really a great great match; Plant showed a really superlative technique, in a ring built for the American, not so big, lots of moves and lots of movements with deadly combinations, too bad he has no stamina, but what a head; El Bandera always confident, maybe a little frustrated at the first few when he didn’t understand how to counter the super technical Plant, but as soon as there was a little physical drop, and the first blows came in, the whole music changed; proving that if you want to be a super champion, you also have to have unquestionable power; too bad we were not there to see it, in the audience a lot of boxing experts and former world champions, really a great great show.
what a match between two great champions, one of them a super champion;
