By entering the weekend, all signs pointed to the future match. Injuries between Caleb Plant and Jermall Charlo-but someone forgot to say a 26-year-old remando Resndiz.

Restendiz (16-2, 11 KO) shot huge nervousness against the plant (23-3, 14 KO) on Saturday at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, defeating the former super middle middle IBF champion through a divided decision. Two judges won him for 116-112 for Resendiz, and the third was won by 115-113 for the plant.

The result is likely that the potential fight between Plant and Charlo (34-0, 22 KO), which made its part, throwing Thomas Lamanna in the sixth round on Saturday. Charlo’s victory occurred during the co-main party before Plant fell as a bookmaker’s favorite 25-1.

“I knew that everyone would be against me,” said Resendiz through the translator. “Of course, it was like that on paper. But I believed in myself and my corner believed in me. I wasn’t really worried [about the split decision]. I left it all to God. I wasn’t worried at all. I knew it was a arduous fight, a great fight. “

Plant, whose only two earlier losses came against Canelo Alvarez and David Benavidez, said he thought he had done enough to win, but he mainly ceased to definitely question the results.

“I felt like he was close, and in close fighting sometimes he hesitates,” said Plant. “I felt that I had enough control using my stab. The judges saw it the other way. What can you do? I felt like I was good. I was patient. I wasn’t a better man today.”

Restendiz from Mexico has definitely confirmed as a better man in the last six rounds. The first half of the fight was very competitive, and the plant dictates a part of the stab and low hooks inside. RESSENDIZ began to hurt the plant in later rounds, when he relieved the power to the body and opened the right eye of the plant.

Focusing can now go to the fight between the Restendiz and Charlo, who has not fought since November 2023. Charlo only fought twice since the beginning of 2021, but looked special in his debut 168 pounds on Saturday. He dropped Lamanna in the third and fourth rounds before the ring doctor advised the judge to cancel only one second to the sixth round.

Caleb Plant says he will fight Jermall Charlo if he is offered to him after his defeat with Armando Resndiz (16-2, 11 KO) on Saturday evening in Las Vegas. Plant (23-3, 14 KO) states that it has a rematch with Resendiz.

The Plant record has now 2-3 in the last five fights, and fans say it is “washed”. It’s difficult to disagree. When the warrior loses three of the previous five fights, it is obvious that they are on the hill. The only two victories of the plants came against the most significant contender for his career Trevor McCumbby and 39-year-old Anthony Dirrell.

Ambivalent attitude of the plant rematch

Says, “I am more than willing to ruin” with him. The way Caleb said that it sounded less than convincing, saying that he was not excited about the idea of ​​fighting Resendiz, 26 years elderly, again after losing a 12-round decision with him divided by the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.

When the warrior is motivated to multiply his failure, they do not say how he did: “I am more than willing.” He will formulate it as if he had been fighting again, fighting him again. This suggests that the plant does not want to fight it again and calls for Jermalla Charlo.

Plant lost its short-lived WBA title Super Middle Libra, which was a trifle that hoped that he obtained a rematch from Canelo Alvarez as part of his narrative “Revenge”.

The plant blames the wounded hand

After the fight, Plant claimed that he had competed with the wounded right hand. It sounded as if he used it as an excuse for his loss, which fans on social media considered pathetic.

Plant says he thinks he deserved victory. He states that after six rounds he had 5-1, which is the opposite of how fans saw it. Restendiz dominated the first half of the fight, winning a better plant in rounds 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The only round caleb was the winning one, and this is because the RESSENDIZ did not throw many blows.

“I would go to the fight immediatelyBut we have a rematch clause. I am more than willing to escape, “said Caleb Plant in Press conference after the fight On Saturday evening after his defeat, sounding ambivalent about who he wants to fight, between his winner, Armando Resendiz or Jermall Charlo.

It seems that the plant has already decided that it wants to fight Jermall, not a rematch with Resendiz. Charlo (34-0, 23 KO) performed his part on Saturday evening, winning the technical knockout of Thomas Lamanna (39-6-1, 18 KO).

“Yes, absolutely,” said the plant asked if he would be willing to enter Jermall Charlo’s fight if he was offered. I am regrouping with my team and see what will happen next. I am not easily discouraged. “

If you are PBC, you can’t be too excited about the idea of ​​fighting between the plant and Jermall after what happened tonight. This is not the perfect time to now set up a fight between the plant and Charlo.

“I feel like I put a stab on it, using the whole ring and switch tips, I work on stabbing up and bottom and using a feint. I didn’t operate my right hand as much as I wanted. It was a bit disturbingPlant said.

When the warriors begin to blame their hand for the loss, fans automatically suspect that they cooked the excuse and do not want to take responsibility for having their loss. If Caleb wants fans to believe in his hand excuse, he will need a doctor’s note and some X -rays.

Plant fights applicable

I feel that I won the first five out of six, ”Plant said, sounding an illusion. “I felt that I could pull two along the way. This is 7-5. I feel that I did enough to win Fight 7-5, but the judges did not see it in this way. Sometimes this way is crumbled with a cookie.”

It didn’t look like a plant win. I had it 9-3 for RESENDIZ. It could be even more one -sided.

Caleb Plant, a super middle champion in WBC, defended his title on Saturday evening in Las Vegas against Armando Resndiz. The planned 12 Rounder was the main event of the PBC card, which was broadcast live to Amazon Prime. A certain plant dominated the first thanks to the kindness of the master’s long stab. RESSENDIZ was a bit more aggressive in the second, but it was still a robust stab of the plant that told the story of the round. However, RESENDIZ was able to land strongly, effective shots in the third. Restendiz still pressed his man in the fourth.

Things remained close to the fifth. RESSENDIZ apparently did not see himself as an ordinary melody for the plant. He came to win. At the end of the sixth, the plant was clearly hurt. Indeed, it seemed that he could go downstairs. Although the plant was never wounded in seventh place, RESSENDIZ was still able to land. What’s more, the plant’s face indicated that it could become worse in wear. At the eighth eighth, everything happened so bad that it seemed that the fight could end before the last bell. Considering this, the judge pointed out that RESENDIZ may lose a point if he did not stop using his head illegally.

The plant was doing better in ninth place, but RESENDIZ was still able to find its goal. The tenth explained that the plant simply can no longer stop the opponent. “We need these two rounds,” said coach Plant between rounds. Plant tried to work effectively on the body in the eleventh, but his arrows did not have a evident effect on the pretender. “We need this round, a kid,” emphasized the plant coach between rounds. It was all or nothing for the plant, when the bell rang to start the twelfth and last chapter. Although he fought the gam in the last three minutes of fighting, the plant simply did not seem robust enough to deal with Resendiz.

The judges ruled Restndiz, through a unanimous decision, giving the Mexican warrior the title of WBC and the victory of the year. “I believed in myself,” said RESENDZ later. “My corner believed in me.” As for the future, RESENDIZ explained that he was still hungry. “I’m ready to fight anyone,” he said.
