Simply don’t take into account junior welterweight world titlist Regis Prograis amongst those that really feel Benavidez can beat Canelo within the ring – at the least not in the meanwhile. “It was a superb efficiency,” Prograis stated to FightHub relating to Benavidez’ effort towards Plant. “I believed it was going to go like that.” Nonetheless, Prograis felt plenty of Plant’s loss needed to do with Plant himself.
“He simply didn’t have the facility to maintain him off,” Prograis stated. “Benavidez is simply too large, too sturdy proper now. I believe he’s going to be bother for lots of people.” He simply doesn’t suppose the laborious hitting Benavidez has what it takes to prime Canelo in the meanwhile. “I don’t suppose he’s on that degree but,” he stated of Benavidez. “Plant simply couldn’t preserve him off. He didn’t have the facility. Any person like Canelo has the facility to most likely preserve him off. I don’t suppose he would beat Canelo proper now.”

Canelo’s to me only a step above.” Sure, Prograis feels that’s nonetheless the case now, even with some saying Canelo is slipping because of a loss final yr to mild heavyweight titlist to Dmitry Bivol. “You possibly can’t depend Canelo out,” stated Prograis. “Canelo’s a beast. I don’t suppose he’s getting older…he went as much as combat Bivol. He went up an entire completely different weight class to go combat Bivol…they make weight courses for a cause.”
In reality, it’s clear to Prograis that it takes much more than some suppose to beat the crimson haired star. “You possibly can’t depend out Canelo,” he stated. “Canelo is likely one of the biggest that ever did it.”
