Jermall Charlo finally made his return after a lay-off of over two years in the sport. While both Charlo and Jose Benavidez Jr. looked uninterested in hurting one another for most of the fight, one can probably appreciate Charlo’s performance given that he pulled off a win.

In this context, after Caleb Plant uploaded a picture of the duo hesitating in the ring, several fans ripped apart the former Super Middleweight champion. According to most of them, Plant would be miserable against the Charlo we saw return tonight.

Ahead of the bout with Jose Benavidez Jr., Charlo proudly declared that he would offer the fans “what they want to see.” In addition, vowing to “light up Las Vegas” on November 25th, the 33-year-old mentioned he would remind everyone that he is an undefeated champion in the sport for a reason. However, to an extent, Charlo failed to deliver an exciting fight. Of course, both ‘Hit Man’ and Benavidez Jr. were exhausted with few rounds still left to fight. And despite the fact that Charlo weighed 5 lbs more than ‘El Phoenix’ he could not KO the latter.

At this, as Plant shared a photo of the duo standing in proximity but hesitating to throw shots, it backfired on him. Without zero mercy, a fan declared that this Jermall would turn Caleb into “a plant.

Similarly one added, “I’m sorry Plant, but Charlo KOs you.”

Considering this was a ring rust match, a fan thought Charlo did sufficient coming out of depression. However, observing his punching power, they advised Charlo not to move up to Super Middleweight.

Meanwhile, one thought Benavidez needed to throw “more combinations” in the fight.

On the other hand, one argued Caleb would defeat Charlo if the latter came to Super Middleweight.

Anyway, with this victory what is next for Charlo?

Jermall Charlo vs. Canelo Alvarez next?

Following Charlo vs. Benavidez Jr., David Benavidez beat Demetrius Andrade in a dominating performance. As expected, he called out Canelo Alvarez after the fight. Given Canelo does not want to risk his belts, it is likely that he would consider facing Jermall Charlo instead since ‘Hit Man’ also recently expressed his interest in the Canelo fight.
