Caleb Plant Slaps the hell out of Charlo

[Master]

Plant was smart to slap Charlo rather than punch and potentially hurt his hand. I like Plant but that is a cheap move to do.

Charlo did not seem to be bothered by it, maybe he gets slapped a lot during these events.

Looks like this will be the next bus off the rank.

Well at least Charlo has now broken his near record long inactivity streak as a champion . More worrying is he gets sucker cracked and repeatedly called boy and does nothing at all. His fighting instinct is dulled.

I'm not sure if it its true but someone remarked also because hes a boxer, he would incur less of a legal charge than if he hit him with a closed fist. Sounds like Charlo know he had it coming... Derrick James was there and said this when asked about it..

“I talked to them [Charlo and Plant] before, they were kinda getting into it. I told Caleb to step away, Jermall, whatever.” “I saw them talking and I’m telling Caleb… ‘let it go,’ you know what I mean? He was like, ‘OK, coach.’ But then, Jermall touched him… I’m talking to him, but at this point, he’s not listening to me,” he added, subsequently pointing out that the slap took place “maybe an hour” later.

James, who said Charlo touched Plant first, was asked if the slap was justified, to which he replied, “Probably so,” while insisting he tried to de-escalate the incident beforehand.

What does "touch" mean in this context?

I cant even begin to guess. but going by history.... If Caleb needed to be shoved before lunging with that lead slap at Canelo, I'd ascertain it wasn't a hand shake. I'd wager to say it was even more than a poke in the chest unless he developed a zero tolerance policy after the Canelo incident. If i had to guess, I'd say Charlo figured him for a sucker or street soft and figured he'd test him. Maybe with a shove. If it was a slap or punch he wouldnt have been standng there with his hands down. He would have expected what was coming. They're fighters, they know how this works. i'm guessing caleb passed the test from the way Charlo stood there dumbfounded before deciding to go out looking for plant with a group of people 5 minutes later after plant left.

The Plot thickens. According to an online source (take it for what you will), The charlo brothers got into it. Plant attempted to diffuse the situation with Jermall then turning his aggression toward Plant. He grabbed a fist full of Plant's beard, to which Plant responded warned him not to do that again. With Jermall immediately doing it again in front of Plants wife and Kid. The rest is what we saw on video with the exception of one very interesting part. The charlo wives/gf melee. Apparently one of the twins wives attacked the others gf and gave her a pretty substantial ground and pound beat down with many unanswered shots...

They could make a soap opera out of this and maybe use it to set up a big fight.
