The trash talk was flying in Los Angeles as Caleb Plant and Jermall Charlo hyped up their double-header at Michelob ULTRA Arena on May 31. Plant defends his Interim WBA Super Middleweight Title against Armando Reséndiz, while Charlo tests the waters at 168 against Thomas LaManna. No fluff—this one’s built for fireworks.
What did Caleb Plant have to say?
Plant came in all business. “May 31 is gonna be fireworks,” he promised. “I’m stepping on Armando and moving on.” No sugar-coating, no extra chatter—just a man ready to flatten whoever’s in front of him.
Asked about past sparring, he was ice cold: “He remembers.” No need to elaborate.
Reséndiz? He’s laser-focused, saying, “I’m gonna talk with my fists.” He made it clear—this is his shot at glory, and it’s personal. He’s dragging all the pressure of family and pride into that ring.
Is Jermall Charlo serious about shaking up 168?
Charlo strutted in with his usual swagger. “I’m going up to 168 to make a statement,” he said, hinting hard that a Plant fight is brewing next. But first, he’s got LaManna in his sights.
“I’m not overlooking him,” Charlo insisted. “But after this, I’ve got bigger fights lined up.”
LaManna wasn’t rattled. “I’m coming to shock the world,” he declared, eyes dead set on the upset. He knows his shot’s here, and he’s ready to throw everything at it.
What else is on the card?
Yoenli Feliciano Hernandez vs. Kyrone Davis brings serious middleweight action, and Isaac “La Bestia” Lucero vs. Omar Valenzuela will open things up with some super welterweight heat. Four fights, all streaming live on Prime Video, and every bout looks like it could steal the show.
