I tend not to think that, but you never know. Benavidez is only 22 and has much to still learn and/or prove. Callum, I don't think is overrated, but more underappreciated. Should be a fun year at SMW.

Post-surgery chinny Groves is Callum's only good win. Of course Benavidez also doesn't have an impressive resume, but as you mentioned, he is just 22 ...

...and beating J'Leon Love won't do much in proving Benavidez's greatness. What kind of an opponent is that!

Not surprised with your dumb ridiculous comments. You wouldn’t know a class fighter if he stole ur burrito and knocked out your mule (aka your vehicle).

What ridiculous comment? Plant's style is awful. The only thing ridiculous is that midly racist poo your throwing at me because I live inside your head.

What a complete moron. You slap a guy around so much that he starts to take it personally.

Every Boxing Writer today commended Plant today for his great defense and his offensive output (style). So you once prove that you know nothing about this sport. Oh you prefer the Mexican style, walk down the whole fight while taking a beating with the hope that he may get the guy in the end? That’s not a great style dude. FYI.

I permanently live inside your head now I see. As I said, you come up with these stupid half-assed predictions and think you're the boss. Guess what, you'll never come to close to the way I slap you around because I actually make predictions, not just half-assed attempts. I love that I live permanently in your head, rent free.

Rational boxing, excellent fundamentals and footwoork, good defence-wise, yet confident in the exchanges, solid work with changing the levels. However, on the one hand, he blew an ending a bit, but, on the other hand, it was more of a safety-first approach after a great deal of won rounds. The hype around this guy is justified, he looked classy.

I don't know if he went into prevent defense as a strategy or because he was a bit gassed. His output really dropped off later in the fight, around round 8/9, but the scoring was so one-sided by then. Uzcategui never really pressed after that, like I thought he could've. Great win for Plant. Terrific performance!

Gassing out was probably a factor too, he became more defence-oriented also in order not to lose the remaining resources. Anyway it was difficult for Uzcategui to come back after being outworked, outclassed and dropped, he was only able to use a couple of given little chances.

A fun fight to watch it was. Really dominant performance by Plant through 7. I'm still jazzed by the Brandon Figueroa fight. That kid looked really good!

Yeah, I'm now really intrigued with Plant too. Gotta see him in the unifications.

Unifications or just going for one of the vacant belts (WBC/IBO) which could mean not having to go against one of the top dogs just yet.

Maybe not some of the top dogs right now, but, of course, there still shouldn't be a long marinading of big fights.
