The MGM Grand Garden will play host to a packed boxing card featuring a string of top-level talent, with viewers eagerly anticipating Benavidez versus Plant. But for some, the event holds a more personal significance: it reunites two prominent boxing families with deep Arizona roots. David Benavidez, who is in the main event against Caleb Plant, hails from Phoenix and comes from a long line of boxers. He is trained by his father, José, and is joined on the MGM Grand stage by two fighters from the Ramos family of Casa Grande, who are trained by the father of one of them, Jesus Ramos. The Benavidez family has fought in big Arizona venues before, and their wins on the night would change their careers' trajectory.
22-year-old junior middleweight contender, Jesus Ramos Jr. (19-0) from Casa Grande, will also be in action, fighting Michigan's undefeated fighter Joseph Spencer (16-0). The match is expected to determine who will move on to the next level, and who will take a step back. Ramos Jr. has been on everyone's radar for a while, with frustrated fans looking for big fights for the boxing sensation. Meanwhile, Linden's "Small Town Soldier" Joey Spencer will also feature in the co-feature event as he faces Jesus Alejandro Ramos. With both boxers boasting undefeated records, this fight will be the pinnacle of Spencer's career thus far, and he knows the challenge that Ramos represents, thanks to his pedigree and fighting prowess.
