Lewkowicz: Benavidez coming to destroy Plant

Undefeated former two-time WBC super middleweight champion David “La Bandera Roja’’ Benavidez welcomed a visit from his longtime promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, to his Seattle training camp Tuesday as he finalizes preparations for a showdown against former IBF super middleweight champion Caleb “Sweethands” Plant on Saturday, March 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“La Bandera Roja has a look in his eyes like I’ve never seen before,” said Lewkowicz. “He is coming to not just beat Caleb Plant, but to destroy him.”

  • Benavidez will simply walk down Plant once he wears down in the middle rounds. Plant will have some moments boxing and moving, but it will eventually fade once Benavidez kicks it in higher gear cutting the ring off and hammering on Plant on the ropes. I don’t think Plant has the horsepower to keep Benavidez off him over 12 rounds. Benavidez TKO.

    • LOL thats because that is all he can do is walk him down Benavidez has no footwork ,Plant UD12.

      • Walking someone down in the ring must be working for Benavidez. He’s a champion mastering the idea of doing so. If Plant’s power can’t hold him off with his offense, he’s going to have a long night.

      • You’re about to be surprised. Plant makes Beni use his full arsenal. Watch how great Beni moves. He’s about to show us we didn’t think he had. Gets plant out quicker than Canelo!!!! KO/TKO 6 or 7 rounds top

  • benavidez should win plant has been stopped by canelo lot of talk from both fighters

  • “El Bandera Roja” instead, “La” is a feminine pronouns. But if Benavidez suddenly has came out of the closest, then Lewkowicz.is saying it right

      • No Gary, Bandera Roja means Red Flag and is a nickname of a male in this case, furthermore to name it in Spanish has be said El Bandera Roja. Common nickname in Spanish is rata (rat) and person who carries is called “El Rata” just an example

  • I like Plant in the upset.
    Benavidez is no where near as good as he thinks he is. Even with his considerable height & reach advantages he hasn’t exactly ‘walked thru’ most of his opponents so far. Why would he ‘walk thru’ Plant when Plant is larger & stronger than guys he wasn’t walking thru?
    As for Canelo, Benavidez was MADE for Canelo.
    No way he sees the 11th round if they ever fight each other

  • After Benavidez TKO Plant in the 11th round, it’s a mighty countdown to a great boxing explosion in Texas (Canelo vs. Benavidez at 168 ONLY).

    Of course, I would even watch Canelo vs. Benavidez at 175, but my ears will not wiggle as much.

  • Plant’s face has been battered in all of his fights, even against weaker competition. He’ll be getting a life changing beating from the Mexican Monster. Face-Plant has always been overrated.

  • benevedeis? its not about him/ who is his main competition? woo beave? whom? o yu mean sergei derevanchenko? whoo? depenz/ who noel ghevor..welle uli wegener musto b in the hall..

  • If Benavidez does destroy plant within 5 rounds his stock will go down.
