Undefeated two-time super middleweight world champion
David "The Mexican Monster" Benavidez retained his Interim
WBC Super Middleweight Title with a bruising unanimous decision victory over former world champion Caleb Plant in the SHOWTIME PPV main event Saturday night from the MGM
Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions. The judges' final tallies were
117-111, 116-112 and 115-113.
The highly anticipated showdown between super middleweight rivals turned into the intriguing clash of styles that many predicted it would be, as Plant's boxing acumen carried the early action until the brute force and high-volume power punching of Benavidez took over. After 12 grueling rounds in front of a sold out arena, the two fighters squashed their years long beef, embracing and expressing their mutual respect.
"I know there was a lot said between us but in the end we settled this like men," said Benavidez. "I'm happy we gave the fans the best rivalry of the year or the last five years. I'm just very happy."
"It's a big rivalry but that's what boxing is all about, said Plant.
"We came here and settled it like men. I take nothing from David. We haven't been the best of friends but we got into the ring and we settled it like men. That's what you're supposed to do. He's a helluva fighter."
