    Apparently Plant and Charlo will be fighting on the same card for May 31. Would anyone actually be interested in seeing this happen later this year should they both win their next fight?

    Yeah, I’d watch it. I hope neither has eroded into trash.

    Who you got between the two? Personally I think it’s close and competitive with a slight edge to Plant.

    Sure why not, there is some bad blood there and it is a good win or go home type of fight. Truthfully I would prefer Plant vs Munguia or Berlanga but this is a good fight

    I think Plant wins based on time at the weight and activity. I think his mobility and hand speed will trouble Charlo. Would not be terribly surprised if Charlo won

    Ideally, I would really be into this fight. My issue with it though is, Charlo isnt a real fighter anymore and between his physical decline, inactivity, and mental issues... kinda makes this fight a bit of a facade, imo. But yes, Im still interested lol.

    I think Plant has to be favored here.
    Plant UD.

    I need to see what Charlo has left. The guy doesn’t exactly fight often or take care of himself.

    I would, I think there's real bad blood between the 2 and it kind of popped off when Plant slapped him in the face. I think it would be a good fight, one that will produce alot of Fireworks. I favor Plant by UD.

    I'd probably favour Charlo but not by a lot. He was a very, very special talent in his prime, that Derevyanchenko performance was stellar, but he's far from his best days now. It's a shame how much he's squandered his own talent honestly, but Plant is a solid, credible operator who looks after himself pretty well afaik and has the tools to beat Jermall if Jermall isn't what he was.

    "Gravedigger" Caleb Plant puts him in the dirt.

    Depends greatly on how much Jermall has in his tank. Hard not to lean towards Plant in this. He already scored with that slap a while back :lol:

    Plant has bad blood with every opponent he faces. There is something wrong with his head.

    They should've just fought immediately after that viral slap.

    Looks like they are definitely planning a showdown between the two this year after all.

    Charlo is fighting Cornflake LaManna? And Resendiz is a middle who lost to Elijah Garcia. Hmmmm, 2 easy tuneups forsure imo.
