This weekend’s biggest-name boxing bout involved a super-middleweight title fight that saw the interim WBC champion, David Benavidez, successfully defend his title with a unanimous decision victory over Caleb Plant.
Plant had a strong start, sticking and moving while the early output from Benavidez was on the lower side. Things drastically changed by the sixth round, though. Benavidez began to bomb away, landing his jab and consistently scoring with his left hook. He didn’t score a knockdown, but there were moments in the later rounds where Caleb was holding on for dear life.
Benavidez poured it on down the stretch, continuing to bombard Plant with power punches.
