He now fights at light heavyweight, which it even less likely he’ll get an opportunity to face Benavidez again. It was a few years ago, and he has more experience now to show people who he is and now I’m looking for third fight,” said the 36-year-old Gavril (23-3, 18 KOs), who has won his last five fights since suffering his second loss to Benavidez in 2018.Īll of Gavril’s opposition during the last five years have come against obscure, weak opposition. “He get better, of course,” said Gavril when asked how much did Benavidez improve for their second fight. Nobody give me a chance in that fight when I fight him, and Floyd call me and give me the fight, and I say, ‘Yes, I want that fight,’ and I showed people who I am. “They appreciate who I am, a great boxer, and I took the big chance. “They appreciate who I am, I think,” said Gavril when asked what boxing fans think of him for knocking down Benavidez in their first fight in September 2017, when he dropped the then 20-year-old ‘Mexican Monster’ in the 12th round, but still lost a wide unanimous decision. “I never sparred him,” said Gavril when asked if he ever sparred Plant.

“I know Benavidez is going to have more volume with the punches, so he’s going to throw from the beginning. Maybe, who knows?” said Gavril when told that Benavidez could knockout Plant quicker than Canelo Alvarez did in November 2021 when he stopped him in the eleventh round in Las Vegas in their super middleweight undisputed championship fight. “So, I see Benavidez winning by KO later rounds around eight or nine. He’s a big guy, a tall guy, and has a good jab and throw a lot of punches. Yeah, Benavidez is going to walk him down, throw a lot of punches. “You know Plant is going to run it’s his style. How you call me? It’ll be a good fight, but I think it’ll be a little boring,” said Ronald Gavril to Fighthype about tonight’s Caleb Plant vs. David Benavidez fight event will begin at 9 pm ET/6 pm PT, live on Showtime pay-per-view at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. I would say 11-12, he’ll stop him.Read: Canelo On David Benavidez: “He Talks Too Much, That's Not The Way To Make A Fight” Caleb Plant vs. “I’m gonna go with Benavidez in this matchup, I think Benavidez will catch him and stop him late. “So if I was a betting man and I put money down, I would say Plant by decision and then I would hedge that with a knockout for Benavidez, no doubt about it. But I just see Benavidez catching up with him, cutting him off, making him ask questions again just like Canelo did, and then catching him and then it’s over. I can see him up on the cards, boxing beautifully, peppering the crap out of Benavidez, just bruising him up, outbox him, slick boxing. And so, I can see Plant winning on the scorecards before the stoppage. “No matter how much skills this guy got, I feel that if you put enough pressure on Plant he will eventually concede. I look at that and I can’t get that out of my mind. And after watch Plant against Canelo and seeing how he faded towards the back end of the fight, and it wasn’t necessarily how he faded physically, it was more he faded mentally. The will to win, that conditioning, that always pressing buttons, always testing your opponent - that’s Benavidez. Plant definitely can win this fight, he can outbox him, he has the better legs, better footwork, and he definitely has the better tactics to go along with him. Usually in fights like this where you have the aggressive puncher and a boxer, usually I lean towards the boxer. “As far as Plant goes, Plant has more boxing skills. (Benavidez) wants to put enough pressure on you to make you just cough it up or put you in a disadvantageous position and take advantage of it. He’s a guy that constantly puts pressure on you and he tries to beat the fight out of you.
BOXER PLANT HOW TO
He has underrated quickness, great hand speed, he knows how to cut off the ring - he cuts off the ring real well. He puts a ton of pressure on you but what makes him so difficult is he’s long, he’s tall, has a lot of leverage on his punches. “And David is an aggressive pressure boxer. “(Plant) looks like he in tremendous shape for this fight, and he gonna need to be, ‘cause he is facing a monster,” Bradley said.
