That is a solid undercard with a crossroad fight in Valenzuela vs. Colbert. I hope to happen the expected outcome in the main event, because a Plant win won’t bring the same type of fights we might have with Benavidez vs. Canelo or Jermall Charlo.
Ramos – Spencer is two of their best prospects, that’s a good fight and Colbert – Rayo should be good as well with two guys coming off a loss – might be leaning Valenzuela in that one. Colbert had a problem with Garcia’s physical strength and now he’s going up in weight. I know they were talking about him fighting Frank Martin, this is definitely a better fight for him than that would have been.
Pretty interesting card. Looks like a good night of boxing. This is what boxing needs.
Nice undercard
On paper thus event is becoming more desirable to purchase
Rayo vs Colbert is the intriguing matchup
Ramos vs Spencer is a revealing and elevating opportunity for the winner
Kudos PBC
There goes Crowley’s 0. Rest of the card is solid. Benavidez KO’s Plant in inside 4 rounds.
It seems strange that all the people who praise Benavidez NEVER ask themselves…Exactly who has he beaten ??
Benavidez will ko Plant inside 4 rounds. Mark my words.
Plant is good on his feet with solid skills. It will definitely take longer than 4 rds for david to wear him down.
The key for plant is avoiding punishment through the first half of the fight and try to get David into the later rounds to use his strength (size & starving to make weight) against him.
However I think the most likely scenario is David scoring a tko around 9 or 10. But going the distance is not out of the question here.
I do think David will have some rough moments tho. No walk in the park, he will have to earn this one.
Colbert-overrated arrogant jackass.
Good card but PPV, I’ll wait for the highlights.
Can’t wait for Benavidez to Plant him on his ass, nothing sweet about those hands
It sure who in the hell is buying that PPV but it’s not me.
