Caleb Plant Vs. Armando Resendiz: Odds, Records, Prediction
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - NOVEMBER 06: Canelo Alvarez punches Caleb Plant (L) during their championship ... More bout for Alvarez's WBC, WBO and WBA super middleweight titles and Plant's IBF super middleweight title at MGM Grand Garden Arena on November 06, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by) After losing two of his past four fights, Caleb Plant wants to prove on Saturday that he's still one of the best super middleweights in the world and that he can still compete for a world title. Armando Resendiz wants to prove that he also belongs in the 168-pound title picture. Here's everything you need to know about Caleb Plant vs. Armando Resendiz, including the odds, their records and a prediction on who will win. Plant has only lost to the best at 168 pounds (Canelo Alvarez and David Benavidez), and at the age of 32, he must figure he's still got time to reclaim a super middleweight belt (he held one from 2019-2021). He's also looking to impress enough on Saturday that he'll get the chance for a big-money fight against Jermall Charlo, who's fighting journeyman Thomas LaManna on the undercard. 'First things first and that's handling business on May 31,' Plant said. 'If Charlo can handle his business, or whatever happens in the co-main event, I'm looking for that winner . . . If he's able to handle business, me and Charlo can run it . . . What I crave is to be a winner and a champion. I want to cement my legacy and show my children firsthand what it looks like to work hard at something. Have I fallen short a couple of times? Yeah, but I did it with integrity and the way a warrior would do it. If you fall short, you dust yourself off and you keep going.' Resendiz knows about dusting himself off. He's lost twice in his seven-year career, and although he seems to have a powerful punch, he's never faced a top-notch fighter who's in his prime. 'He's looking to seize his big moment and I remember what it was like when I had my big moment and how badly I wanted it,' Plant said. I'm expecting him to come in guns blazing. But we've got something for him.' Resendiz has confidence, though—especially since he's been working with respected trainer Manny Robles. "[That's] Here's more info on the Caleb Plant vs. Armando Resendiz showdown that U.S. viewers can watch on Amazon Video (free with Prime subscription) beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - SEPTEMBER 30: Elijah Garcia (green/tan trunks) trades punches with Armando ... More Resendiz of Mexico (red trunks) during their middleweight fight at T-Mobile Arena on September 30, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by) At -2500 (bet $2,500 to win $100), Plant is the massive betting favorite vs. Residenz, while the Mexico native is the +1100 underdog (win $1,100 on a $100 wager). Neither money line has much value, but I wouldn't mind you taking Plant to win by decision at +210. If you were looking for a fun parlay for this weekend's action of boxing (and this is only for entertainment purposes), I might take Plant to beat Residenz by decision at +210, Jermall Charlo to beat Thomas LaManna by decision at+140 and Yoenli Hernandez to beat Kyrone Davis at -650. If all those hit, you'd win $758 on a $100 wager. Plant (23-2, 14 KOs) hasn't been extremely active, fighting just once in 2022, 2023 and 2024. He's also only won half of his last four fights (falling to Canelo Alvarez and David Benavidez). But at the age of 32, he still could have several more years of fighting at a high level, and he already owns wins vs. Jose Uzcategui and Anthony Dirrell. The highlight of Resendiz's seven-year career was a TKO upset victory in 2023 vs. former unified champion Jarrett Hurd, who went in to that bout as a 6/1 betting favorite. Six months later, Resendiz got an opportunity to face prospect Elijah Garcia, but he was stopped in the eighth round. Now, Resendiz is coming off a victory vs. an opponent who was 5-2. Plant has plenty to fight for, but I don't think he's going to be super aggressive against a relatively unknown Resendiz who seems to have a good punch and a decent-enough chin. Plant is a strong technical boxer, and he'll be content to rack up the points en route to a fairly easy win. Say Plant by decision, somewhere in the 118-110 range.

Bruno Surace calls for defeat to Jaime Munguía to be overturned after opponent returns positive test
Former world champion Jaime Munguía has returned an adverse analytical finding for testosterone metabolites in his A-sample after his second fight against Bruno Surace. The Ring reports that Munguia's A-sample returned an adverse analytical finding, and that the 28-year-old has 10 days to request an analysis of his B-sample. Munguía had defeated Surace on points following their first encounter, which Surace won by knockout. On the undercard of stablemate Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez's unification bout with William Scull, Munguía, 45-2 (35), controlled the bout with Surace from start to finish, continuing a similar pattern from the first fight. In the original meeting, Surace found a knockout punch in the sixth round to turn the contest on its head. The defeat to Munguía was the first of Frenchman Surace's career, the 26-year-old moving to a record of 26-1-2 (5). Speaking about Munguía's positive test, Surace told The Ring: 'I'm shocked by the news that Jaime Munguia tested positive for a banned substance. There's no place in boxing for cheating; the sport is dangerous enough already." He added: 'I went to Mexico and knocked out Munguía fair and square in December and I was gracious enough to give him a rematch in May. He knew he could not beat me on a level playing field. I trust that this result will be overturned immediately.' Munguía linked up with Eddy Reynoso ahead of facing Surace for a second time at the start of May. The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), which adminstered the tests, has been approached for comment.

Caleb Plant Vs. Armando Resendiz Fight Card, Date, Time & How To Watch
Caleb Plant Vs. Armando Resendiz On Saturday, former world champion Caleb 'Sweethands' Plant returns to the ring for the first time since September 2024 when he takes on Armando Resendiz in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. In the co-main event, the undefeated former champion Jermall Charlo returns after an 18-month absence from the ring to face Thomas LaManna. Here is a look at the entire card and the viewing information. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - SEPTEMBER 14: Caleb Plant looks on before a super middleweight bout at T-Mobile ... More Arena on September 14, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by) Plant is no longer a world champion, despite posing with the belt during the face-off with Resendiz at Thursday's press conference. He last held a world title when he fought Canelo Alvarez in November 2021. Plant lost his title that night via 11th-round TKO. It's the only time he's been stopped in his career. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - SEPTEMBER 13: Super middleweight boxer Caleb Plant poses on the scale during a ... More ceremonial weigh-in in Toshiba Plaza at T-Mobile Arena on September 13, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Plant is scheduled to fight Trevor McCumby for an interim WBA super middleweight title at the arena September 14. (Photo by) Plant is still just 32 years old, but answering the question of whether he's still a legit title contender is a bit tricky. Canelo is currently the undisputed champion at 168 pounds, and even with him aging, he'd likely be favored to beat Plant if they rematch. In addition to that, Plant is currently ranked in the top 10 at 168 pounds by any of the four governing bodies. Because of that, it's hard to see Plant challenging for a title soon. Then again, it's boxing. Manny Pacquiao is about to fight for a title on July 19—he's 46 years old and hasn't fought in nearly four years. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - SEPTEMBER 30: Armando Resendiz of Mexico (red trunks) reacts after being ... More defeated by Elijah Garcia during the eighth round of their middleweight fight at T-Mobile Arena on September 30, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by) Plant represents a significant step up in competition for Resendiz. The 26-year-old Mexican fighter has a 15-2 record with 11 KOs, and he's been stopped once. Resendiz was knocked out by Elijah Garcia in September 2023. He was given a get-right opponent in February when he stopped Fernando Paliza in the fifth round of a fight scheduled for six. Resendiz has punching power, but based on the way he's performed against higher-level fighters, I don't give him much of a chance to beat Plant. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - NOVEMBER 25: Jermall Charlo (L) fights Jose Benavidez Jr. during their ... More middleweight bout at Michelob ULTRA Arena on November 25, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Charlo won by unanimous decision. (Photo by) Charlo hasn't fought since November 2023, when he scored a unanimous decision victory over Jose Benavidez. The former WBC middleweight champion had already been stripped of his title by then, as he battled some personal issues that impacted his activity. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - NOVEMBER 25: Jermall Charlo (R) fights Jose Benavidez Jr. during their ... More middleweight bout at Michelob ULTRA Arena on November 25, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Charlo won by unanimous decision. (Photo by) It's now or never for Charlo. He is 35 years old and has already lost vital years of what would have been his prime. He is undefeated at 33-0 with 22 KOs, but it doesn't feel like it. Charlo should be considered one of the best fighters in his weight region, but he hasn't fought enough to claim that distinction. NEWARK, NEW JERSEY - DECEMBER 29: Thomas LaManna celebrates after defeating Nicolas Hernandez in ... More their middleweight fight at Prudential Center on December 29, 2023 in Newark, New Jersey. (Photo by) To put it plainly, LaManna has very little chance to beat Charlo—provided the former champion's skills haven't eroded. LaManna, 33, is 39-5-1 with 18 KOs, and he's been stopped three times in his career. LaManna was stopped in the first round by Erislandy Lara in 2021, but since then, he has won nine in a row. However, the combined record of the opponents he has faced on his win streak is 269-72-12. LaManna is more of a journeyman and someone PBC likely hopes Charlo can look good against. Plant and Charlo have history. Plant slapped Jermall Charlo on July 28, 2023, during a backstage altercation at the weigh-in for the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford fight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Plant was reportedly provoked by Charlo grabbing his face and responded with a left-hand slap. The confrontation was captured on video and widely circulated. Here's a look at the incident. If both win their fights on Saturday, PBC is expected to match the two men in a fight later in the year. It could be a great way to allow Plant and Charlo to capitalize monetarily on their beef. Also, the winner of that fight–especially if it is Charlo–could have an opportunity to challenge the winner of Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford. Be on the lookout for weigh-in information and coverage of the event on Saturday night.

The one strength training exercise Canelo, Dubois and Usyk's training regimes all have in common
A boxer is not a bodybuilder. Sure, many of them flex their biceps post weigh-in and look pretty good doing it, but their impressive physiques are merely a byproduct of their training. Their main aim in the gym is improving performance, not aesthetics. As a fitness writer, a large part of my job is chatting with top coaches and taking a deep dive into the training regimes of elite athletes. Across every boxer I've written about, whether that's Canelo Álvarez, Daniel Dubois, Conor Benn or Johnny Fisher, one exercise has been ever-present: the landmine press. Catch all the latest boxing action on DAZN If you are unfamiliar, this exercise involves wedging one end of a barbell into the corner of a room (or another secure anchor point) then loading the other end up with plates and pressing it overhead with one arm from a standing position. Here is how to do it, and four reasons why I think it is boxing's best-kept strength and conditioning secret. How to do the landmine press Place one end of a barbell on the ground wedged into the corner of a room. You can also place it in the hole of a weight plate or use a custom-built landmine attachment. Load the other end of the barbell up with the weight plates you plan to lift. Assume a staggered stance with your left foot forward and hold the very end of the barbell in your right hand with your knuckles facing away from you and your hand level with your right shoulder. Brace your core then, rotating your body slightly, press the barbell overhead until your arm is fully extended. Control it back down to the starting position. There are a number of benefits arising from using the landmine press. Ability to develop multiple portions of the force-velocity curve The force-velocity curve describes the inverse relationship between the force a muscle can create and the speed at which it can move. In layman's terms: an athlete can move a light weight quickly, a heavy weight slowly, and a moderate-weight at a speed somewhere in between. Each of these actions develops slightly different attributes, and the landmine press can be applied to hit most of them. You can load it up with heavy weights and perform up to five repetitions to develop maximal strength in the working muscles; a set of five to 30 repetitions at a moderate weight and tempo can be used to build size; a landmine punch (explosively throwing the barbell away from you) can be implemented to develop power. The landmine punch is a favourite among boxers, and something I have seen in both Dubois and Canelo's training. However, all of these applications can find a place in a well-rounded workout programme. Unilateral development and shoulder health Unilateral exercises are those that target one side of the body at a time; think Bulgarian split squats or single-arm rows. Sport is inherently unilateral – a boxer throwing a punch with both hands simultaneously is as likely as a runner jumping forward with both feet – so it pays to train this way. The landmine press offers more specificity to the sport of boxing than a standard barbell or machine overhead press, having you drive one arm forward at a time. It also allows your shoulder and scapula to move more naturally, developing smaller stabilising muscles like those in the rotator cuff while reducing stress on the joint. These factors combine to create stronger shoulders which are far more resilient to injury – vital in a sport like boxing where huge demands are regularly placed on the joint. Unilateral exercises can also be used to develop balance, coordination and iron out muscular imbalances, as an added bonus. Operating in the transverse plane The body operates in three planes of motion: sagittal (up, down, forwards and backwards), frontal (side to side) and transverse (rotational). Most strength and conditioning exercises are heavily sagittal-dominant, whereas most sports require you to access a wide range of movements. The body also adheres to an informal 'use it or lose it' premise. By mostly training sagittal-oriented movements, the resultantly redundant muscles used in twisting or bending motions may weaken and tighten, leaving you stiff like a stereotypical bodybuilder rather than athletic like a boxer. To prevent this, training in all three planes of motion is key. When the landmine press is performed with a slight rotation of the torso towards the barbell – the execution I've observed in most boxers' training – it mimics the torque required in a punch. It also strengthens the requisite muscles, tendons and ligaments, increasing the athlete's tissue tolerance and capacity in this movement. The result is a more athletic, powerful and mobile fighter. Practicing power transfer and improving core strength Your core musculature, found around the trunk and hips, acts as a power transfer centre between your upper and lower body. In boxing, power is generated from the ground up, starting at the feet before transferring through the legs, into the core, then along your upper extremities. The more efficiently you can transfer power, the better this will translate to an effective punch. The landmine press is an excellent exercise for developing this. By supporting a weight overhead and completing a twisting motion, it can strengthen core muscles such as the rectus abdominis (six-pack muscles) and obliques (which run down either side of your torso). It also places you in a sport-specific split stance, giving you ground contact time to practice generating power through the floor, and developing the proprioception (awareness of the movement of your body) needed to do so.
