Former world champion Caleb Plant watched the David Benavidez vs David Morrell fight closely.
He knows both boxers relatively well enough.
Speaking to Fight Hub TV Plant said of the Benavidez win:
“I thought Benavidez won convincingly, but Morrell put up a hell of a fight and started to rally a little bit later. And, you know, this is experience that both of them are going to be able to take into other big fights. Experience is priceless.”
He makes a good point there in that Morrell will have learned a lot from that fight.
He will have come away from this weekend an improved, stronger version of himself.
