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.

Investors Mobilize to ‘Free Linqto' Amid Concerns of Mismanagement
Investment Platform's Users' Accounts Have Been Frozen Since February LAS VEGAS, May 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Concerned customers of the investment platform Linqto have joined together to demand answers from the tech company's new management, which has suspended operations and frozen users' accounts since February of this year. 'The recent actions taken by Linqto's new management raise serious questions,' said Rob Cunningham, founder of newly formed consumer advocacy group Free Linqto and longtime Linqto customer. 'Users' accounts have been frozen since February 27, the company's operating reserves have been drained, and the platform has effectively ceased normal operations,' Cunningham continued. 'At best, this is the result of a series of misguided and bad decisions; at worst, it represents an intentional effort to drive the platform into insolvency.' Renowned blockchain and AI visionary Steven Nerayoff, Esq. LL.M has joined the effort, lending both strategic guidance and legal firepower to the growing movement. 'When platforms mishandle investor trust, it's not just bad business — it undermines the future of decentralized finance,' Nerayoff said. Linqto is an investment platform that provides retail investors access to the private equity market. More than 11,000 Linqto customers collectively hold approximately 3% equity in Ripple Labs — a global blockchain leader founded by early architects of the XRP Ledger and active in advancing blockchain innovation since 2012.'Linqto is an amazing company that has democratized the private equity market,' noted Cunningham. 'We created Free Linqto to ensure the platform's long-term health and continued success. We would welcome the opportunity to work with new management to protect Linqto and its more than 14,000 customers, however we are examining all our options. We welcome other customers of the company to join us.

Las Vegas HOA faces $30M shortfall
Setting foot in Sun City Summerlin one can see lush grass, full pools, and active clubhouses. So how is the homeowners association facing a $30 million budget deficit? Inside the Starlight Theatre, the Sun City Summerlin Community Association voted on a new plan to find a sufficient strategy to tackle a deficit discovered in a 4-year budget study. The neighborhood's reserve is required to maintain at a certain level due to state law. 'Our funding percent did drop from 70% to 45% over the last five years,' Mitzi Mills, the Sun City Summerlin Association executive director, said. 'Primarily because of inflation on manufactured items and equipment needed for a community this size.' Mills pushed back against the $29,265,699 figure sent to 8 News Now by residents citing a 2024 reserve budget assessment. '[The HOA] is an association with third party documented assets of $40,318,493,' she said. 'We currently have—going into our 2026 budget—$18,222,915 just in our Reserve Fund account to maintain these assets which have useful lives ranging from 5 to 30 years. This means that our reserve account is 45 percent funded.' The effort and assessment have caused concern for some residents who spoke with 8 News Now anonymously and on camera, like Rob Kirkwood. 'The state law says that you should have adequate resources, sufficient to pay for future expenses,' Kirkwood said. 'This board, I think, got too aggressive and trying to hit that 70 percent number sooner than they need.' In previous stories, 8 News Now has found HOA damage costs which caused some residents to move and others to ask for city intervention. The costs and concerns in Sun City Summerlin appear to mainly surround a one-time $5,000 cost to new homeowners. The New Owner Reserve Assessment (NORA) which is negotiable during sale was originally set to $1,839 according to a petition in district court which sought to stop it in January. On Mar. 31, District Court Judge Carli Kierny found the HOA had authorization to increase the NORA for new homeowners. Kirkwood said the NORA increase is too much, pointing to the oddity in jump in budget assessment from 2019 to 2024. '[The HOA] put in there that $30 million was what the 2024 reserve study specialist calculated that they needed by 2029 in contributions in order to hit a 70% figure,' he said. 'Now contrast that with the 2019 study, that one had a lot less expenses, and I think that was more like a 15 million, which is still a large amount for the next four years, but it jumped up substantially in the 2024 reserve study.' Inflation was cited as a possible reason by the HOA for the increase in overall costs in the budget between 2019 and 2024. Mills told 8 News Now the maintenance pertains to many aspects of the neighborhood. 'We have three golf courses, four fitness centers, four community centers, and a theatre,' she said. 'There are 7,781 homes in the community and the owners assessments pay for their exclusive use of all of the areas except the golf courses and restaurants.' Mills said the between the miles of landscaped parkways and park areas residents know what they are signing up for and the cost is not hidden. 'The total cost to live here annually and use all of the facilities and amenities is $2,257.92 a year,' she said. 'And in comparison to other 'city sized' communities living in Sun City Summerlin is a bargain.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

In the main event of UFC Vegas 107, Erin Blanchfield faces Maycee Barber in a catchweight contest. The Blanchfield vs. Barber fight was booked as a flyweight contest, but Barber came in at 126.5 pounds for the scrap. Blanchfield, who weighed in at 125 pounds, accepted the catchweight terms and will get a portion of Barber's purse for doing so. Below, we look at details from the headlining bouts and the start time for each portion of the UFC Vegas 107 fight card. Date: Saturday, May 31, 2025 Location: UFC Apex in Las Vegas, NV Main Card Start Time: 9:00 p.m. ET Preliminary Card Start Time: 6:30 p.m. ET How to Watch of Stream: ESPN, ESPN+ Erin Blanchfield vs. Maycee Barber Mateusz Gamrot vs. Ľudovít Klein Billy Ray Goff vs. Ramiz Brahimaj Dustin Jacoby vs. Bruno Lopes Ketlen Vieira vs. Macy Chiasson Zachary Reese vs. Duško Todorović Jafel Filho vs. Allan Nascimento Kurt Holobaugh vs. Jordan Leavitt Bolaji Oki vs. Michael Aswell Rayanne dos Santos vs. Alice Ardelean LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MAY 30: (L-R) Opponents Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber face off during the ... More UFC Fight Night weigh-in at the New York New York Hotel & Casino on May 30, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) Blanchfield (13-2) is the No. 4 fighter in the official UFC women's flyweight rankings. The 26-year-old Blanchfield was riding a nine-fight winning streak when she faced Manon Fiorot in the main event of a UFC Fight Night card in March 2024. Fiorot won that bout with ease, ringing up three 50-45 scores from the judges. The victory earned Fiorot a UFC 315 matchup against UFC women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko, a bout Shevchenko won via decision. Blanchfield took a step back toward a title fight in November when she scored a decision win over former UFC women's strawweight champion Rose Namajunas. Barber (14-2) is the No. 5 fighter in the UFC women's 125-pound division. She opened her UFC career with a 3-2 record, but is undefeated since dropping back-to-back decisions to Roxanne Modafferi and Alexa Grasso in 2020 and 2021. The 27-year-old Barber is riding a six-fight winning streak heading into UFC Vegas 107. Her most recent victory was a March 2024 decision win over Katlyn Cerminara. Barber was schedule to face Rose Namajunas in July 2024, but she dropped out of that fight due to illness. Barber later revealed she had Epstein-barr virus. In December she told Morning Kombat, "Everything's going great now. It has been a long journey. I was so bummed when – well, first of all, I was so excited to fight Rose because not only was I fighting Rose, but I was also fighting in Denver where I made my UFC debut. So for me, it was my first main event. "It was a very huge opportunity for me, and I was so excited and then I was devastated when I was told, 'Hey look, you're not going to fight on this card.' Obviously the health is more important. So I was very devastated, but I have made a lot of progress coming forward, and I can't wait to be back." We will have more on tonight's UFC Vegas 107 fight night, including results, reactions, highlights and more.

Who is 'Miss Atomic Bomb'? A historian searched for 25 years for the answer
LAS VEGAS — It wasn't going to be easy to track down the woman who came to be known as 'Miss Atomic Bomb.' All Robert Friedrichs had to go on was a stage name he found printed under an archival newspaper photo that showed her posing with other Las Vegas showgirls.
