Coach Jeff Majeweather still thinks that the Caleb vs. Jermall Charlo Fight may take place next, despite the defeat of Planty from Armando Resndiz on Saturday evening in Las Vegas. Jeff says “Nothing has changed” In terms of the profitability of the struggle of plants-charlo. He claims that the plant is in a “great position” to take part in the fight with Jermall.
The shopping plant needs winnings
The “Honey” plant is located in a weakened position to act as if “nothing has changed” and ignoring the rematch with Resendiz to continue fighting Jermall. The Caleb’s record is 2-3 in the last five years, and fans perceive him as a broken warrior shell who fought the Mexican star of Canelo Alvarez in 2021.
Fans see differently. They are not cheerful to see Plant (23-3, 14 KO) fighting Charlo (34-0, 23 KO) after a 12-round defeat of the decision-making division of Caleb with Resendiz (16-2, 11 KO) on Saturday evening at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. People do not want to pay to see two antique washed fighters on PPV. Planty and Jermall looked like a few antique fossils from the Mesozoic era, from the dinosaur era, last Saturday evening. If you don’t fight for free, fans will not be interested when they fight.
Ideally, Jermall needs a few wins against some of the best pretenders, such as Diego Paczeco and Christian Mbilli, before fighting the Shopvorn factory would make sense. As for Caleba, he must absolutely avenge his defeat against the Restndiz and look like gold.
RESSENDIZ made the ephemeral master of the super medium weight WBA looked much older than his chronological age 32, beating him through the results of 116-112 Resendiz, 115-113 plant and 116-112 Resendiz. Most people agreed that RESENDIS won eight of twelve rounds.
The excluded caleb lost control
“I think Caleb thought he was winning when he was a bit behind him, because at the end of the fight he was more or less a box, instead of trying to do his best and win this round,” said Jeff Mayweather to Warrior About Caleb Plant does not understand that he lost to Armando Resendiz last Saturday.
The plant admitted last night at a press conference after the fight that he was wrongly convinced that he was winning the fight. He said he thought he had won five of the first six rounds and felt that he won at least two rounds in the last half of the fight for winning 7-5.
Caleba’s coach, Stephen Edwards, sounded desperate in championship rounds in the 9-12, telling him many times that he must start him with Resendiz. That the plant would not be aware of how desperate Edwards suggested that he was mentally disconnected from how terrible its situation was. It is possible that the ego plant is so immense at the moment of its career that he has a distorted view on what is happening in his fights. You hate to have someone like that in your platoon during the war
“We are not used to the fact that Caleb is fighting this way. He is a great boxer, a brilliant boxer, and he should do it against everything,” said Jeff about making a mistake by brawling with Resendiz instead of boxing.
Ponderous plant: slower, older
The plant tried to box, but it looked as if it had excessive weight and could not be moved, as he did when it was lighter. RESENDIZ did not have to do much to plant, because he often stopped to rest again, which is a sign of age and is too weighty.
“I thought he did well But you could still see rust in him, “said Jeff about his thoughts about the performance of Jermalla Charlo in his technical knockout Thomas Lamanna in the sixth round after two years of inactivity.” Although he stopped the guy, he did not seem to be urgent to do it. “
It seemed that Jermall lacked conditions to attack Lamanna as he had to get him out of there before. 35-year-old Charlo looked fleshy, carrying an additional 10-15 pounds of fat on the frame, which he should not be there. He was not well-trained enough to fight for a full three minutes of activity to knock out the journeyman Lamanna (39-6-1, 18 KO) early as Erislanda Lara did.
“There were times when he just carried a guy, and most of the time the fighters don’t do it,” continued Jeff about Charlo. “He could have and said it. He said it at a press conference. He said he wanted to get a few rounds, and he did that. I don’t think Caleb was in the ring with Charlo that he would fight in the same way he fought with this guy [Resendiz]Jeff said asked how the fight between Jermall Charlo and Plant would be like this if it took place last Saturday.
Jermall looked fleshy, unstoppable
Charlo was caught from Lamanna’s shots and it could be said that his reflexes and time were turned off. Four years of inactivity and difficult life, burning candles at both ends, took something from Jermall. His power remained the same, but his physical skills deteriorated significantly. The way he fought would lose many of the 15 best rivals in 168. At least 10 pretenders for medium medium weight would eliminate Jermalla last Saturday. However, it still looks good enough to beat Caleb Plant.
“I just felt he [Plant] He felt he had done enough to win [against Resendiz]And he didn’t. It has a rematch clause, as well as a fight with Charlo. Nothing has really changed, “Jeff said about the plant.” He can still fight Charlo before he is still fighting with the rematch [with Armando]If he ever intends to make a rematch. So Caleb is still in a great position. “

Conor Benn Reveals His Pick: Oscar De La Hoya vs Terence Crawford Showdown in Boxing History
Published

August 16, 2026
Terence Crawford has been hailed by many as the best fighter of this generation following his retirement, and now WBC welterweight title hopeful Conor Benn has shared how he thinks ‘Bud’ would have fared against six-division world champion Oscar De La Hoya.
Crawford became boxing’s sixth five-division world champion with an iconic win over Canelo Alvarez back in September; joining Thomas Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao in that elite and exclusive club reserved only for legends of the sport.
Of that group, only De La Hoya and Pacquiao have gone on to conquer a sixth division, with De La Hoya’s 2004 WBO middleweight world title win over Felix Sturm seeing the Californian become the first boxer to ever become a sextuple champion.
Crawford could have joined ‘’The Golden Boy’ and ‘Pac-Man’ in achieving that feat, having been offered a middleweight world title shot during the aftermath of his triumph over Canelo late last year – a proposal which later fell apart due to a failed doping test by Janibek Alimkhanuly.
Continuing the praise that the Omaha-born southpaw has received since announcing his retirement last December, Benn told Daily Mail Boxing that he would favour the undefeated star to get the better of De La Hoya, if they were to meet in their primes.
Benn also went on to predict that Crawford would retain his unbeaten streak against other greats of the game, picking him to come out on top against each of Mayweather, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker and Roberto Duran.

Robert Garcia Evaluates Terence Crawfords Odds Against Prime Pacquiao

Top trainer and former world champion Robert Garcia has considered the outcome of a fantasy showdown between Terence Crawford and Manny Pacquiao.
The two generational greats reportedly came close to squaring off in 2021, back when Crawford was the WBO welterweight champion and ‘Pac Man’ held the WBA title.
Their unification match never materialised, though, as Pacquiao was scheduled to face Errol Spence Jr before ‘The Truth’ pulled out with a torn retina.
Instead, the Filipino legend ended up losing his WBA title to Yordenis Ugas at a stage when, while still serviceable, he was quite clearly past his best.
Crawford, meanwhile, was hitting top form around this time, just a few fights away from producing arguably a career-best performance against Spence.
He did, of course, manage to stop his welterweight rival in nine rounds, before moving up to 168lbs and becoming a three-division undisputed champion by dethroning Canelo Alvarez last September.
Based on those two performances, coach Garcia has told ESNEWS that he would favour ‘Bud’ to defeat even a prime version of Pacquiao.
“The Crawford that beat Spence – and the Crawford that beat Canelo – would probably beat Manny.”
While Crawford’s prime almost certainly came during his run of eight stoppages at welterweight, it is harder to pinpoint when Pacquiao ultimately reached his peak.
In terms of his most destructive performance at world level, however, many will point towards his second-round finish over Ricky Hatton in 2009.
While facing the ‘Hitman’ at 140lbs, Pacquiao would cement himself as a formidable welterweight champion soon after, dethroning Miguel Cotto with a 12th-round stoppage for the WBO title.

Zuffa Boxing Parts Ways with Former World Champion After First Loss

Former world champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk has been left between a rock and a hard place afterhis promotional contract with Zuffa Boxing has been terminated.
The Ukrainian dethroned long-reigning light-heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson in 2018, scoring an 11th-round stoppage that left his opponent with a brain injury.
Gvozdyk then made a WBC title defence before losing to Artur Beterbievwho extended his ruthless surge with a 10th-round finish in their 2019 encounter.
Since that defeat, ‘The Nail’ suffered a unanimous decision loss to David Benavidez in 2024, before entering a perceived 50/50 contest against Radivoje ‘Hot Rod’ Kalajdzic in February.
With both making their Zuffa debut, the two veterans delivered a thrilling battle in which Gvozdyk scored two knockdowns and had built a sizable lead.
In round seven, though, the 39-year-old found himself on the canvas and was ultimately stopped on his feet after getting dropped a second time.
Given his overall performance, one would suspect he had done enough to justify another meaningful opportunity, yet Gvozdyk has since told vRINGe that he will no longer be fighting under the Zuffa banner.
“They terminated the contract in February after a loss. That is, every promoter has the option that if a boxer loses, they have the right to terminate the contract. That’s exactly what they did. After the fight, everyone was saying how great it was. That everything was great. I rested. I started preparing as planned – somewhere around May. And then, around April, they told me I’d received an email terminating the contract.”
This is because his contract has been terminated, while Kalajdzic’s next outing with Dana White’s promotional outfit is confirmed for September 26 against Craig Richards.
As for Gvozdyk, it is difficult to predict what will come next but, at the age of 39, one would suspect that he is close to hanging up the gloves.
Still, he could hardly have been happy to part ways with Zuffa, which also terminated its contract with Robert Meriwether following his defeat to Tony Hirsch Jr in April.
