Malignaggi does a profession

Paulie Malignaggi says Caleb plant must “judge” whether he is hungry to continue his career after his loss of Armando Resendiz last Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Questioning the hunger of the plant

The WBA-TUs-Adventory Super Middleweight Champion Plant (23-3, 14 COs) made a 12-round split decision to reflect Resendiz (26-2, 11 COs). Caleb’s loss may have derailed his plans to fight Jermall Charlo on PPV.

Malingaggi says he doesn’t know if plant is hungry to keep fighting because he has already earned good money and has a family. He questions whether Caleb is willing to bother against hungry fighters like Resendiz.

He looked hungry to me, but he stood in front of a man with a chin, power and an inside game. Plant could not keep resendiz on the outside, and it was hit on the inside.

“I don’t know what Caleb plant is doing. He didn’t look hungry to me, but of course he still had all his faculties. If he is no longer hungry, he must judge it himself. He didn’t look hungry for me tonight, ‘Paulie Malignaggi said to him channel About Caleb plant after its loss of Armando Resendiz last Saturday.

‘Sweethands’ plant looked the same as usual, but he hit with a lot of hard shots of a younger fighter who put it on him. The large shots that have landed that gave older, fewer fighters such as Anthony Dirrell and Trevor McCumby problems did not affect the resendis.

Plant: “Fight not to lose”

“Fight not to lose. His intention was to beat Resendiz and get the Jermall Charlo fight. You want to hit them enough to keep them from you,” Malignaggi said about what went wrong for planting. ‘Resendiz did not work together. So, now you have to fight against these guys. ‘

Plant fought as it always did; His talent was not sufficient to beat this level of a fighter. If you go back to the earlier battles of plant against Jose Uzcategui, Mike Lee, Caleb Truax and Vincent FeigenButz, he looked the same against them as in the Resendiz battle.

The difference was that Resendiz was better than those fighters in terms of its pressure, within -game and resistance to punch. If plant had fought against Resendiz earlier in his career, he would have lost him just like last Saturday night. In other words, plant was never as good as boxing fans.

“While the fight was going on, plant did not have the fight in it, because now you have to do what you have in the (Trevor) McCumby fight, and you must have the battle inside you. There are only so many times where you will call it in your career, especially if it is late, and you have made good money. It is very difficult to bring the dog out.

Charlo-Resendiz battle discussed

‘Resendiz has two major wins. Caleb plant was not as shot as Jarrett Hurd. Now, suddenly you don’t have Charlo-Caleb plant now, but do you have Charlo and Resendiz? ‘ Paulie said.

As long as Jermall’s promoters in order are on ordinary PBC with his next battle Prime videoResendiz would be a good idea. However, Charlo’s management will probably want him to be on PPV for his next battle. Now that the plant has lost, it would be a foolish idea to continue with the original plan for a plant-Charlo battle.

Charlo has been out of the game for too many years to sell on pay-per-viewing. Even if Plant had won last Saturday, a fight between him and Charlo would not have done large numbers on pay-per-viewing. There are not enough older fans who want to pay $ 75 to look at the two.

“Make us Charlo-Resendiz because we don’t know how much Charlo has left yet,” Paulie said. ‘The revival continues. I think Resendiz is a good logical step. It is not a super fight and would not be sold to you like a superfight like Charlo and plant was. But I didn’t think Charlo and plant was going to be a super fight anyway. “

PBC will have to believe that Charlo would overcome them to give him the green light to face Recendiz. Based on his actions against Lamanna, I wouldn’t do it if I was with PBC.

Charlo hit Lamanna too often to put him in a man like Resendiz. The shots with which Resendiz hit the inside would give Jermall a lot of problems. He has been out of the game for too many years, and he is too old to be hit by a 26-year-old Resendiz.

‘But this battle makes sense in the steps to bring Jermall Charlo back. If he beats resendiz, this is a good victory now, because Resendiz comes with a victory over the plant and has won a win (Jarrett) Hurd. He has a reasonable resume for Charlo to win over a man, “Paulie says.

It would be a good victory for Jermall if he beat Resendiz, and it might lead to a fight against Edgar Berlanga, Diego Pacheco or Christian Mbilli. It is doubtful that Canelo would be eager to fight to Charlo. He would only take a battle with Charlo if Turki Alalshikh offered him a lot of money. He does not take risks unless he has paid big money. It must be initiated by Turki.

PBC’s Charlo Comeback Commercials

“But if Resendiz Charlo beats, he adds his name to his resume. Either way, the winner can be set up nicely in the 168 pound division,” Maligaggi said.

It does not seem realistic that Charlo’s handlers will make him disappear after last Saturday’s performances. Jermall did not shine enough against Thomas Lamanna to dare to put him into Resendiz, and made him land the types of shots with which he hit a plant.

We saw what a very average Juan Macias Montiel did to Jermall four years ago in 2021. It was against a much better version of Charlo than the one we saw against Lamanna last Saturday night. Charlo looked like he was only 50% of what he was against Montiel, but fortunately he faced a travel man, not someone like Resendiz.
