Jermall Charlo (34-0, 23 costs) says he is still interested in the fight against Caleb Plant (23-3, 14 COs), despite losing against Armando Resendiz (16-2, 11 COs) by an upset 12-round split decision in Las Vegas.
Charlo: “Make a belt”
Charlo said at the press conference after the fight tonight that he did not mind planting, 32) lost his WBA-Tuss-Engineer Super Middleweight title against Resendiz. He says that Someone can create a belt for him and plant to fight over.
It would not be surprising if one of the sanction bodies Jermall quickly took up his desire that one of their trinkets was on the right path for a fight between him and planting.
Interestingly, Jermall expressed no desire to fight Resendiz, suggesting that his primary focus is on money rather than anything else. The timing is bad for Charlo and plants to fight after tonight’s event. It doesn’t matter that Charlo doesn’t mind the plant losing.
Public doubt Plant-Charlo Fight
The box publicly cares. It would be deserted to go through the plans for the Caleb plant against Jermall Charlo fight. What kind of message does it send to people who are still going to fight the loser plant against Charlo instead of Resendiz? It’s not even sports.
Jermall defeated Journeyman Thomas Lamanna (39-6-1, 18 COs) with a sixth round TKO in co-function. The doctor was advised that the battle should be stopped to fifth. Lamanna was beaten around in rounds 3, 4 and 5. He was also injured in the diminishing seconds of the fifth.
“I know that I just got a win and that I was inactive, but my goal is to be more active,” Jermall Charlo says at the Press conference after battle After stopping Thomas Lamanna on Saturday night. “I’m not perfect, but my plate is.”
Jermall didn’t look so good tonight either. His physique did not look like before. He even looked better in his last fight two years ago, with a 2.5-year discharge. He was not as sharp as it was then, and nowhere near how he acted in 2021.
“We have to go back to the drawing board with this one. Caleb plant dropped the ball. He looked out of the shape. He couldn’t have fought me tonight, ‘says Charlo, when he was asked if he was still planning to fight the plant after his troubled loss of Armando Resendiz.’ Yes, I wish it would happen. ‘
Plant did not look in good shape either. He looked 10 pounds heavier than in his previous fight and was slow from the beginning. I don’t know why he chose to get heavy for this battle, but it was the wrong thing to do against the smaller resendiz.
Charlo wants planting despite loss
“I’m not here to bash anyone or talk about anyone, but Caleb plant dropped the ball on this one,” Charlo says. “I still want to come back.
If Charlo wants his revenge against planting, he has to wait until he either avenges his loss to go again, or defeat someone else. After this loss, I do not think that plant is able to beat any of the top super -middleweights. He was physically washed up. If he were to fight someone like Christian Mbilli, Diego Pacheco or even Edgar Berlanga, he would lose to everyone.
“I want to fight against Canelo and want to fight. I want to take those big fights when they are there,” says Charlo.
Canelo is not going to fight against Jermall unless Turki Alalshikh wants the fight to happen. If that fight was to occur, it would only be next year.
