Other famous fighters shared their opinions from this fight.
Jermell Charlo: I'm leaning towards Plant. He is technical, while Benavidez is a bit one-sided. He moves forward, he presses, but the style determines the fights, and I bet on Plant.
Brandon Figueroa: Benavidez knocks him out around the eighth or ninth round.
Sean Porter: It's kind of a 50-50 fight. But I think this is the best time for Plant, and I'm betting on him. He will be able to shock Benavidez, and Benavidez will face something that he has never faced before. David still broke opponents with his pressure. Most likely, this time he will not succeed. I bet on Plant's victory in the last rounds.
Amanda Serrano: Plant is a great boxer, I really like him, but this time I'm betting on Benavidez.
Ray Vargas: It will be an equal fight, and the key to success will be the right choice of tactics for both. Plant has speed and agility, while Benavidez is explosive and strong. This is a 50-50 fight, but if I had to bet on someone, I would bet a little on Benavidez.
George Kambosos: Plant has a bit more experience in these types of fights and is in great shape. He also showed in his last fight that he could hit hard. Benavidez can shake too, but I'm betting that Plant will surpass him in accurate hits. Plant will win by a narrow margin.
David Morrell: Benavidez is very strong, but he has never met someone who moves in the ring as well as Plant. I really can't pick a favorite, it's a 50/50 fight.
Yordenis Ugas: It's a very close fight, but I prefer Benavidez.
Bernard Hopkins: Plant's technique speaks for itself, besides, he is more experienced. He perfectly avoids the opponent's blows and collects them on his shoulders. He also handles aggressive opponents well, so I bet on him.
Andy Ruiz: I bet on Benavidez. He will be bigger and stronger. Plant is good, but David will give him too many problems in the ring.
