David Benavidez turned potential into performance on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas against his toughest opponent, roaring down the stretch to come-from-behind and defeat Caleb Plant in a rout.
Benavidez did it despite an unusually poor performance by referee Kenny Bayless. Bayless was overly involved throughout the bout. He never so much as warned Plant for holding, and Plant was holding nearly as much as the Cleveland Browns’ offensive line. And despite two clear low blows by Plant, Bayless never took a point.Judge Tim Cheatham scored it 115-113 for Benavidez.
Benavidez is an accurate puncher who usually works off the jab, but he was following Plant early and not throwing much. He said he was getting used to Plant’s style. Plant showed great heart in making it to the finish line. He was stopped in the 11th round by Canelo Alvarez in his only loss, and there were moments down the stretch where it appeared he may not make the finish line.
