David Benavidez and Caleb Plant put their differences aside tonight, despite previous assertions that they wouldn't, as Benavidez emerged victorious over Plant in a clear-cut 12-round battle in Las Vegas.
Benavidez maintained his undefeated record with scores of 115-113, 116-112, and 117-111. While he started a bit sluggishly, Benavidez dominated Plant from the seventh round onwards, asserting control over the fight and securing a well-deserved win.
With respective records of 27-0 (23 KO) for Benavidez and 22-2 (13 KO) for Plant, the bout showcased a strategic encounter rather than an all-out war, though the latter rounds were filled with action predominantly driven by Benavidez, while Plant demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination.
Referee Kenny Bayless drew criticism for allowing Plant to excessively hold during the fight and for inconsistent timing in breaking up the action.
Ultimately, Benavidez's superior punching power, strength, and overall skill were evident. Despite the pre-fight trash talk, both fighters exhibited mutual respect once the final bell rang.
"We may have said the beef wouldn't end, but tonight we fought like true warriors," remarked Benavidez, acknowledging Plant's skill. Plant reciprocated the sentiment, recognizing the intensity of their rivalry.
Reflecting on the conclusion of their feud, Benavidez expressed, "We settled our differences in the ring like men. We exchanged heavy blows, but now it's time to go back to our families."
