The Rivalry Heats Up

For the second time in a month, boxing fans witnessed a pair of fighters destined to clash later in the year appear on the same card in separate bouts. The co-main event saw the A-side boxer uphold their end, while the main event delivered a shocking upset.

Charlo's Comeback

Jermall Charlo (34-0, 23 KOs) made a triumphant return after an 18-month hiatus, defeating Thomas LaManna with a sixth-round TKO. Despite concerns about his form, Charlo showcased his skill with a sharp jab and powerful right hand, dropping LaManna three times before the fight was stopped.

Plant's Unexpected Defeat

Caleb Plant (23-3, 14 KOs), on the other hand, faced a surprising setback. Jose Armando Resendiz pulled off a massive upset, defeating Plant by split decision to claim the WBA interim super middleweight title. Plant's performance raised questions about his future in the sport.

The Road Ahead

Both Charlo and Plant have expressed their desire to face each other, despite Plant's recent loss. Charlo remains uninterested in fighting Resendiz and is focused on settling his score with Plant. Plant, meanwhile, is considering his options, including a potential rematch with Resendiz or moving directly to a fight with Charlo.

Canelo in the Mix

The ultimate goal for the winner of a Charlo-Plant showdown could be a bout with Canelo Alvarez, the reigning king of the super middleweight division. Both fighters have a history with Canelo, and a victory could pave the way for a high-stakes match.

Conclusion

The boxing world is abuzz with anticipation for the next moves of Charlo and Plant. Whether they face each other directly or take on other challenges, their paths are sure to lead to thrilling encounters in the ring.
