Caleb Plant vs. Armando Resendiz live updates: Time, streaming for full card
Caleb Plant vs. Armando Resendiz live updates: Time, streaming for full card Caleb Plant and Jermall Charlo are one step away from securing a tantalizing showdown. But first, two hurdles must be cleared Saturday night. Plant must defeat Jose Resendiz in the main event, a super middleweight bout scheduled for 12 rounds with Plant's interim WBA world super middleweight title on the line. Charlo, a former two-division champion, must beat Thomas LaManna in the co-main event, a super middleweight bout scheduled for 10 rounds. It's a good bet the favorites will prevail. In September, the 32-year-old Plant bounced back from a loss to David Benavidez with a thrilling ninth-round TKO victory over Trevor McCumby. His upcoming opponent, the 26-year-old Resendiz, has yet to beat anyone of Plant's caliber. The 35-year-old Charlo is 33-0 with 22 KOs and will be fighting for the first time in 18 months. Barring a nasty case of ring rust, he should be safe. His upcoming opponent, the 33-year-old LaManna, has won nine straight fights, including six by knockout. But none of those fighters had skills that matches Charlo's.

If he can catch his opponent off guard, he takes full advantage.

More and Juan Macias Montiel at Toyota Center on June 19, 2021 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by) 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. 'I'll be a fool to try to overlook him,' Charlo said of his opponent, Thomas LaManna. 'That's not what I'm doing. I'm Jermall Charlo. This is my legacy. This is my career. I'm putting it all on the line. Now I understand why Canelo and them, all the big names, GGG at the time I was at 160, I see why they would say, 'High risk, low reward.' But I'm not that saying towards LaManna in no type of combative way. I'm just saying, naturally, me beating him in fashion and doing what I do best, get out there and win the fight, I probably won't get the thumbs up and the likes from the fans. It's gonna be expected. 'If I go in there and make it a fight and make it tough and something crazy happens in the fight, then they'll be like, 'Oh, he's not Jermall Charlo no more.' So, the pressure is on me to be who I am. I'm not overlooking LaManna. He has some skill. He has experience, too. He just never been in there with anybody like me.' 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) 'I learned from the Erislandy Lara fight that I can't let the moment get to me. If I can do that all throughout the week and get there to fight night, it's gonna be a long night for Charlo,' said LaManna. 'My whole mindset changed after the Lara fight. I didn't want to fight anymore. But when I came back, I knew I wanted to do it the right way. I knew this was my big opportunity at the biggest stage. Now I've got that great opportunity.' 'I definitely have the momentum over Charlo,' LaManna added. 'But we have to let the fights happen. We're gonna find out on May 31." LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - SEPTEMBER 14: Caleb Plant leaves the ring after his victory at T-Mobile Arena on ... More September 14, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by) 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. It is believed that if Plant and Charlo walk away from Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay with wins on Saturday, they will face each other before the end of the year in a super middleweight scrap. 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.

A'Ja Wilson made NBA All-Star Weekend her victory lap
Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson is seven seconds from scoring 1,000 points in a single season and making WNBA history. Wilson slowly walks up to the top of the key, looking for Aces guard Jackie Young to send her the ball during a September 2024 matchup against the Connecticut Sun. Young dribbles several times at half-court before dumping a bounce pass towards Wilson, who has Sun forward Brionna Jones plastered to her hip. The two-time WNBA champion pivots without flinching, starting the foot race between her and Jones toward the basket. In her line of sight is also forward DeWanna Bonner, who has come over to help Jones. But it was too late. Wilson stops on a dime, pulls up and launches her trademark fadeaway mid-range jumper over Jones and Bonner. As Wilson skips back down the court with a smile after metaphorically ripping out history book pages, Michelob Ultra Arena erupts. Wilson's Aces teammates go wild on the bench, cheering and jumping for joy. Point number 1,000 for A'ja Wilson. 👏 The only player to ever score 1k in a single WNBA szn — WNBA (@WNBA) September 15, 2024 It's another box checked off for Wilson, who has been adding accomplishment after accomplishment to her stacked resumé. She earned her third MVP title, a slew of top WNBA honors, attended Paris Fashion Week and had her South Carolina jersey retired all in the last year. 'I think young A'ja would just be very proud, but, at the same time, she wouldn't be satisfied,' Wilson recently told For The Win while promoting a Hennessy Arena 2×2 showcase. 'She would be one sassy girl.' Wilson's reflection on her life is fitting. Despite what feels like a mountain of accolades, she continues to push the envelope of what's possible. That includes unveiling a Nike signature shoe—the A'One—that's been months in the making, something Wilson admits still feels strange. 'Honestly, I wanted to share my progress, but at the same time, I'm like, 'No, I want to give the people what they want exactly when they need it.'' 'So, seeing it on different pages and blogs talking about it, it's just weird and crazy that it is like that,' Wilson explained. 'But, I'm very blessed to be able to have people having a conversation around it, and it's been a whirlwind accepting it … It's been a lot of fun.' Her shoe reveal was followed by a Nike Super Bowl commercial featuring eight other star athletes challenging expectations. Appropriately entitled 'So Win,' the ad says the quiet parts out loud: People will say what they want about you, so do it anyway. 'It was low-key kind of breathtaking,' Wilson revealed about seeing the finished product. 'In that moment, I never would of thought I would be a part of a Super Bowl commercial, considering how big Super Bowl commercials are. But to see it alongside Nike and other great athletes—it just goes to show how powerful we are as women in sport.' Like so many other top athletes, Wilson is pushes the culture of sports forward, and to do that, every move has to be calculated and intentional. Even on a day when she could have easily faded into the background to enjoy the events, Wilson was out, mingling with fans during NBA All-Star Weekend, promoting the WNBA with Hennessy. 'When you're talking about a spirit as as iconic as Hennessy, they're really bridging the bridge between culture and athletes, especially in the W, and I wanted to be a part of something like that.' But that's just who Wilson is. She purposely moves to the beat of her own drum and seemingly always with a legacy in mind. Wilson says that's how you impact the younger generation, and if she could give them any advice, it would be to be gentle with themselves. 'Give yourself some grace, and what is delayed is not denied,' Wilson said. 'And I say that a lot only because everyone's story, everyone's journey, is going to look different. But you can't harp on anyone else's journey.' 'This world can be crazy at times, but if you find peace within yourself, you'll be just fine.'
