Paulie Malignaggi says that Caleb Plant must “assess” whether he is hungry to continue his career after losing to Armando Resndiz last Saturday evening in Las Vegas.

The hunger for the plant questioned

The short-lived master of super medium WBA (23-3, 14 KO) lost the 12-round divided decision for RESENDIZ (26-2, 11 KO). The loss of Caleb potentially derailed his plans to fight Jermall Charlo next on PPV.

Malingaggi says he doesn’t know if the plant has hunger to continue the fight because he has already earned good money and has a family. He asks if Caleb is willing to put an effort against hungry warriors, such as Resendiz.

He looked at me hungry, but he had a face in a face with a guy with a chin, power and internal game. Plant could not stop the Restndiz outside and was beaten inside.

“I don’t know what the Caleb plant is doing. He didn’t look hungry for me, but of course he still had all his departments. If he is no longer hungry, he must judge it himself. He didn’t look hungry today,” said Paulie Malignaggi on his own canal About Caleb Plant after losing to Armando Rediz last Saturday.

The “Honey” plant looked the same as usual, but it was hit by many demanding shots of the younger warrior who applied it on it. Immense shots that landed plants that gave older, smaller fighters, such as Anthony Dirrell and Trevor McCumbby, did not affect Resendiz.

Plant: “Fight not to lose”

“Fighting not to lose. His intention was to overcome the Restndiz and fight with Jermall Charlo. You want to hit them enough to stop them from you,” said Malignaggi about what went wrong for Plant. “Rezendiz did not cooperate. So now you have to fight these guys.”

The plant fought as always; His talent was not enough to overcome this warrior level. If you come back and see the previous Plant’s fights with Jose Uzcatelui, Mike Lee, Caleb Trax and Vincent Feigenbutz, he looked the same against them as in the fight against Resendiz.

The difference was that RESENDIZ was better than these fighters in terms of his pressure, game and impact resistance. If Plant had fought earlier in his career, he would lose to him as last Saturday evening. In other words, the plant was never as good as boxing fans thought.

“As the fight was fought, the plant had no fight in it, because now you have to do what you did in [Trevor] McCumbby is fighting again and you have to fight in you. There are only as many times in which you call it in your career, especially when you are behind schedule and you earned good money. It is much harder to lead this dog out of you, especially consistently at this age with all other variables that I have just mentioned.

The fight Charlo-resndiz was discussed

“Resendiz has two great victories. Caleb Plant was not as shot as Jarrett Hurd. Now you do not suddenly do not have Charlo-Cuteb’s plant, but do you have Charlo and Resendiz?” Paulie said.

As long as Jermalla’s promoters are fine when his next fight is regular PBC in Prime Video, RESSENDIZ would be a good idea. However, Charlo’s management will probably want him to be on PPV for the next fight. Now that the plant lost, it would be stupid to continue the original plan to fight the plant.

Charlo has been out of the game for too many years to sell in Pay-Per-View. Even if Plant won last Saturday, the fight between him and Charlo would not make enormous numbers in Pay-Per-View. There is not enough older fans who would like to pay $ 75 to watch these two.

“Do we make charlo-resandiz because we still don’t know how much Charlo is left,” Paulie said. “The revival is ongoing. I think RESENDIZ is a good logical step. This is not a great fight and it would not be sold to you like a great fight, such as Charlo and Plant. But I did not think that Charlo and Plant will be a great fight anyway.”

PBC would have to believe that Charlo would win to give him a green lightweight to face Reiniz. Based on his performance against Lamanna, I wouldn’t do it if I were with PBC.

Charlo struck through Lamanna too often so that he could put him in a guy like RESENDIZ. The shots with which the Restendiz hit the plant inside would give Jermall many problems. There has been no game for too many years and is too elderly to be hit by 26-year-old RESENDIZ.

“But this fight makes sense in steps to restore Jermalla Charlo. If he defeated RESENDIZ, now it is a good win, because Resendiz won with the factory and won [Jarrett] Hurd. He has a pretty decent CV for Charlo to win such a guy – said Paulie.

It would be a good win for Jermall, if he defeated the Restndiz, and it potentially led to the fight with Edgar Berlang, Diego Pacheco or Christian Mbilli. It is doubtful that Canelo willingly fight Charlo. He would fight Charlo only when Turki Alalshikh offered him a few money. He doesn’t take risks unless he pays huge money. Turki would have to initiate this.

PBC Charlo Returns

“But if Restendiz defeats Charlo, he adds his name to his CV. Anyway, the winner can be nicely set in the 168 pounds division,” said Malignaggi.

It does not seem realistic that Charlo’s guides will allow him to get tangled with the re -performance after the performances on the last Saturday. Jermall does not shine enough to Thomas Lamanna to risk puting him in Resendiz, and told him to land on arrows with which he hit the plant.

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