During the press conference for their upcoming fight on March 25th, Caleb Plant exposed David Benavidez for using a scripted speech.

Plant, feigning anger, revealed that Benavidez had read his entire speech from his phone, which was unnecessary as the fans already knew his intentions to beat Plant and earn a fight against Canelo Alvarez.

Benavidez's reliance on a prepared speech rather than speaking extemporaneously caused him to appear scripted and insincere.

This revelation may have a long-lasting impact on Benavidez's reputation.

It is troubling that Benavidez came to the press conference with a prepared speech as if he were running for political office.

It was apparent to many boxing fans that the things he said were topics he had discussed before, making the use of a prepared speech unnecessary.

It is hoped that in the next press conference, Benavidez will speak from the heart and not rely on a scripted speech.

Despite the revelation, Benavidez is still expected to beat Plant with ease on March 25th due to his youth, strength, and size advantage.

Plant is likely to try and evade Benavidez's pressure for the majority of the fight, as he did in previous fights against Canelo and Jose Uzcategui, but he will ultimately tire and be stopped.

It would be more admirable for Plant to put up a fight and lose with honor than to run and try to avoid his opponent.
