Caleb Plant (23-2, 14 KOs) is the No. 3 ranked competitor in the super middleweight division, according to the latest ESPN rankings. The 32-year-old opened his career with a perfect 21-0 record, winning the IBF super middleweight crown in his 18th pro bout with a unanimous decision victory over José Uzcátegui.
After three title defenses, Plant took a leap up in competition and faced Canelo Alvarez in a title unification contest. Alvarez scored an 11th-round TKO win in that contest. Plant bounced back from his first career defeat with a knockout win over Anthony Dirrell. Another loss followed as Plant dropped a decision to David Benavidez in March 2023 in a matchup for the interim WBC super middleweight belt.
Plant returned to action in September 2024, capturing the vacant interim WBA super middleweight belt with a knockout win over Trevor McCumby.
Armando Resendiz (15-2, 11 KOs) opened his career with 12 straight wins. Resendiz got knocked out by Elijah Garcia in 2023. His most recent outing was a fifth-round KO win over Fernando Paliza in February of this year. He is the No. 15 ranked competitor in the WBA rankings.

'He's tough, but tough ain't enough," Plant said of Resendiz. 'I'm gonna go in there and do what I do. He's gonna try his damnedest. But I'm gonna get the job done regardless. I'm gonna get my hand raised, and I plan on it being in fashion, but regardless of what happens, we're gonna hear the words and still,'

A former two-division world champion (154 and 160 pounds), Jermall Charlo (33-0, 22 KOs) looks to make his mark at another weight class when he competes at 168 pounds in Vegas.
The 35-year-old Charlo has not fought since late 2023 when he earned a decision over José Benavidez Jr. That win ended a break of more than two years for Charlo, who was stripped of his WBC title while he was inactive following a DWI arrest in May 2024.
Thomas LaManna (39-5-1, 18 KOs) is riding a nine-fight winning streak heading into Saturday's event. The 33-year-old is looking for the biggest win of his career against Charlo.
We will have more on the Caleb Plant Vs. Armando Resendiz fight card and the Jermall Charlo vs. Thomas LaManna matchup as fight night approaches.

Ben Roethlisberger Offers T.J. Watt Update
Ben Roethlisberger Offers T.J. Watt Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As a franchise steeped in continuity, there's an uneasy feeling whenever a Pittsburgh Steelers stalwart puts that status in doubt. Advertisement Ahead of the 2024 season, it was defensive tackle Cameron Heyward's turn to test the waters. Coming off an injury-plagued season, Heyward was in search of a new deal that ensured he'd be paid handsomely to spend the twilight of his career in Western Pennsylvania. At first, the Steelers didn't budge. Ultimately, a deal got done, and Heyward put forth an incredible bounce-back season, logging eight sacks on the way to All-Pro honors. A year later, edge rusher T.J. Watt is due for an extension. Cleveland Browns superstar Myles Garrett's recent four-year, $160 million deal has raised the stakes, and Watt is holding out in hopes of approaching (if not surpassing) that number. Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger gave an update on Watt's contract negotiations now that he held himself out of minicamp. Advertisement "It's interesting because this is now a mandatory minicamp," Roethlisberger said. "So he can be fined. It'll be interesting to see if the Steelers decide to fine him or not because they don't have to ... Last time this happened was four years ago when T.J. was looking for a new contract. The difference is, he's holding out, which means he is not there. Last time, he held in, which means, 'I'm going to come, I'll be here, but I'm not participating.'" Like Heyward, Watt is coming to the table after an underwhelming year with some level of concerns attached to his age. Heyward, well into his 30s with two sacks in 2023, managed to come to an agreement. Watt still posted 11.5 sacks in 2024 and is only entering his age-31 season. Watt would like to be the highest-paid defensive player in football. Pittsburgh, presumably on the hook for ~$20 million more than it anticipated entering the offseason, is understandably taking its time. "This year, he's not there," Roethlisberger said. "You asked the question of what's the difference? I don't know, only T.J. knows the difference. My only speculation and guess is like, they must not be close. If you were close, I would think that T.J. would do what he did last time." Advertisement For now, the two seem far apart. But the Steelers are incentivized to keep Watt around, and his run defense should keep him among the best edge rushers in the sport, even if his pass-rushing decline proves to be more than a blip on the radar. Until then, the Pittsburgh faithful will continue to hold their breath, hoping that gap is addressed before his absence becomes meaningful.

Tomlin Welcomes Rodgers to Pittsburgh With Barbecue
Tomlin Welcomes Rodgers to Pittsburgh With Barbecue originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Fans might be split on Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers off the field. But on it, he's an upgrade over Mason Rudolph, and his teammates know it. Advertisement Rodgers' peers, understudies, and coaches have expressed excitement about his arrival. He makes them more potent in January (with a better chance of getting there) and adds Hall of Fame pedigree to a quarterback room that badly needs a steady hand. He's said all the right things, given the organization a glimpse at practice, and seems to have the respect of his teammates. Just as important as those relationships will be the ones he forges with the coaching staff, namely head coach Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. So far, so good. Tomlin welcomed Rodgers to the Steelers with the help of Archibald's BBQ, who the coach hired to cater the team-wide event at his home. 'Woodrow Washington, the owner of Archibald's BBQ and Archibald and Woodrow's, developed a relationship with coaches for the Pittsburgh Steelers,' Kelvin Reynolds wrote for WBRC. 'Washington says Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin hired him to come to Pittsburgh and cook for his assistants for a special event. Advertisement 'He shared pictures of him and his staff posing for pictures with Tomlin and some Steeler coaches. Quarterback Aaron Rogers, who just signed with the Steelers, also took pictures with the guys from Woodrow's.' Both throughout his elongated journey through free agency and after he put pen to paper, Rodgers has been enthusiastic about the opportunity to play under Tomlin. He's been adamant in how much he respects the head coach. Tomlin, as one of the most well-respected players' coaches in the league, has the reputation and the resume to earn the Canton-bound quarterback's admiration. 'It's just humbling knowing people think highly of your food and the taste that you bring and ask you come,' Washington told Reynolds. 'And I know my grandparents, George and Betty, my mom, Paulette, and George, they workerd their butt off, years and years and years and years. And I know they're happy to know that we're stretching out a little further than Northport and Tuscaloosa.' Advertisement Flying in barbecue from Alabama wasn't on our bingo card, but it's Pittsburgh's way of rolling out the red carpet. Tomlin and the Steelers hope Rodgers can make good on the excitement he's generating in 2025.
