7 Signs You Made A Great Impact On Caleb Plant

Had Benavidez not lost the belt in '20, he likely would have had a shot at Alvarez, who completed his 11-month journey of becoming an undisputed super middleweight champion by plucking Plant's belt last year. It’s a waste of time for Benavidez to count on Canelo giving him a fight after he faces Lemieux in the spring. Although Benavidez’s next fight will be against David Lemieux in the spring, Plant (21-1) said in a recent interview with ESNews that a future fight against Benavidez, one that he claims he has tried to finalize a few times, seems inevitable at this point. “To be honest with you, yea, I was a little frustrated,” said Alvarez during his post-fight interview. He has good little pop shots, but that can only take you so far. I’m pretty good for 21-0, right? Asking another fighter if you think you’re good during a world title fight like that, it’s kind of silly to me,” said Benavidez. You’re in the right place! ‘not right now,’” Plant said. “There have been some guys who lost before the bell even rang against Canelo,” Plant said. Yes, he lost. But even in a bad loss there's always a path forward.

And despite suffering his first pro loss to No. 1-ranked Canelo Alvarez in November, the Ashland City native has his sights set on another top-five opponent: No. 2-ranked David Benavidez. I don’t know,” said Benavidez when asked how he sees Plant coming back from his loss to Canelo. Plant suffered his first professional loss via 11th-round knockout against Alvarez on Nov. 6 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. I want that fight,” said Benavidez about him still wanting to face Plant despite his knockout loss to Canelo. Benavidez (25-0) also alleged that Plant, the No. 3-ranked super middleweight in the world, sucker punched his brother Jose in the gym after a training session and caused a brawl between the two camps. He said no to the short-notice bout, refusing to face his toughest test in his biggest fight with less than a full training camp. Parker, who held the WBO world heavyweight title from 2016 to 2018, has been training alongside Fury in England ahead of a make-or-break fight against Chisora, and it will be intriguing to see the results of Parker's work with new trainer Andy Lee, the former middleweight world titlist.

The boxing public will get a better product. But there was a private moment - well, as private as things can get with dozens of people around them in the ring - between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant earlier this month that seems remarkably pure and honest for boxing and combat sports in general. Without a doubt, Canelo Alvarez has had one of the most remarkable run in the history of boxing in 2021. His sensational win over Caleb Plant saw him becoming the first boxer to unify all four world titles in the super middleweight division while also the sixth undisputed champion in the four-belt era. The defeat snapped Plant’s 21-fight win streak, and he lost his IBF super middleweight title. Many boxing fans saw it as a sign of weakness on Plant’s part that he chose to have a running conversation with Canelo during the ninth round in a vital unification fight.

Canelo isn’t going to fight Benavidez, and he’ll likely vacate his WBC title once the World Boxing Council orders him to defend against him. Plant, who grew up in Ashland City, won the IBF title with a victory over Jose Uzcategui in 2019 and defended it three times. Plant has only won two full-length matches so far, both of which were against top-ranked opponents. In that sense alone, he’s already won. It would make sense for Canelo to pretend that he was interested in fighting Bivol to get Plant to accept his contract terms. Well, I need to win the interim belt first, and then I would love to fight Caleb Plant after that if we can’t get Canelo,” said Benavidez. Plant successfully defended his title with a unanimous decision win over Caleb Truax in January. “The thing about Caleb Plant is he has no power. Plant seemingly has rubbed Benavidez the wrong way after he was so outspoken about Benavidez’s positive drug test for cocaine and subsequent four-month suspension in 2018 that caused him to be stripped of his title. Win that and The Jackal will be booking his first stadium fight, at Windsor Park, against the winner of lightning Welshman Lee Selby’s proposed May 19 world featherweight title defence against Josh Warrington at Elland Road in his challenger’s home city of Leeds.
