Armando Resendiz shocks Caleb Plant: Highlights, round by round analysis
Armando Resendiz shocks Caleb Plant: Highlights, round by round analysis So much for the prospective showdown between Caleb Plant and Jermall Charlo. Armando Resendiz likely derailed that with a shocking split-decision victory over Plant Saturday night in their 12-round fight for the WBA interim super middleweight title. The judges scored it 116-112, 113-115 and 116-112 in favor of Resendiz, who entered the night as a decisive underdog. Charlo had won earlier in the night to set up the possible showdown with Plant, who failed to do his part in the main event. 'He caught me with one overhand right that was pretty good,'' Plant said during an in-ring interview. 'But other than that, nothing really hurt me or stopped me. Disappointed, obviously.'' Resendiz spoke in Spanish, but his beaming smile was easy enough to understand in any language. He was the new champ, albeit with an interim tag. Highlights from Saturday's fight card: The official outcome was a split decision, but boxers' faces told a different story. Resendiz's face look virtually unscathed. Plant's face looked, well, like a mess. Resendiz, a 26-year-old from Mexico, improved to 16-2. Plant, 32, fell to 23-3. Round 1: Armando Resendiz opens by whipping his left jab. 'Mexico, Mexico,'' fans chant. Caleb Plant looks unperturbed. He misses with a right, but swings with it again. Plant connects with a nice left hook, then follows up with a combo. Resendiz's activity flattening before he fires a couple of jabs. Plant answers with a jab and combo. Plant 10, Resendiz 9. Round 2: They joust with jabs. Still waiting on some power. They're circling at the center of the ring. Resendiz lands a couple of body shots. Plant fighting back with his jabs. Dig on into Resendiz's body. Plant punching, but not clear what's landing. Plant 20, Resendiz 18. Round 3: Plant emerges aggressive behind the jab. But Resendiz isn't backing away. Plant lands a left hook to the body and the fighters get tangled before a square-dancing move separates them. (Well, my version of square dancing, anyway.) Resendiz connects with a hard left, drawing blood from Plant. Then he tags Plant with another right. Plant drills the body of Resendiz, who nonetheless looks in control. Plant 29, Resendiz 28. Round 4: Plant opens with a flurry, including a hard left. Resendiz looks undeterred. But he's waiting for the moment rather than creating it. Takes another left from Plant, but it's Plant whose face is bleeding. A nice exchange of punches toward the end of that round. Plant 39, Resendiz 37. Round 5: Resendiz looks very poised as he stalks Plant. Plant landing punches, but Resendiz absorbs then as he moves forward and lands his own punches. Resendiz attacking the body. The left side of Plant's body is bright red, the result of Resendiz's pounding. Plant 48, Resendiz 47. Round 6: Resendiz looks totally unscathed. Plant, no such luck. Resendiz exuding confidence as he fires a jab and targets the body. Plant bobbing on his feet, but not quick enough to avoid Resendiz's body shots. Plant landing jabs as Resendiz digs in with body shots. Resendiz unloading on Plant! A brutal right hook rocked Plant! But he survives the round. Plant 57, Resendiz 57. Round 7: They open by firing jabs, but that's not going to last long. Resendiz smells blood. Resendiz stalking Plant, who tries to hold off Resendiz with his jab. Resendiz finds room to open up. Plant firing but the punches seem to have little effect. Resendiz 67, Plant 66. Round 8: Resendiz connects early, and Plant looks shaky. Resendiz is warned for a second time about a potential head butt. They're wrapping each other up, with Plant looking to minimize the damage. Resendiz shakes loose and batters Plant. Plant looks in real trouble. Resendiz 77, Plant 75. Round 9: Resendiz is under scrutiny for use of the head. The referee has warned him three times, so we'll see if that has any effect on his approach as the round opens. Plant connects with a body shot. Plant landed a left, and Resendiz answers with a flurry of shots. Plant looks gritty, Resendiz looks fresh. He tags Plant with a hard right. Plant firing what look like rubber bullets. Nothing slowing Resendiz, who's on the attack. Resendiz 87, Plant 84. Round 10: Plant fighting on his back foot. Resendiz's punches clearly have taken their toll. Plant lands a hard right, but Resendiz looks unshakable. Plant pot shotting, evidence that he'll do whatever he can do avoid Resendiz's fists. But Resendiz catches up with him and lands more body shots and array of punches. Resendiz 97, Plant 93. Round 11: Plant refusing to open up despite the need for something spectacular. Resendiz looks in control. Now Plant bleeding badly from the right eye. Resendiz delivers a body punch that audibly thuds against Plant's reddened body. Plant lands a solid right late, but waaay too late to matter. Resendiz 107, Plant 102. Round 12: Plant needs a knockout at a minimum, but it's Resendiz who comes out the aggressor. He continues to punish Plant – to the body and the head. Blood trickling from Plant's beaten face. Resendiz unloading heavy punches and Plant has little in response. Duck might be his best strategy. Resendiz 117, Plant 111. Charlo knocked LaManna down three times before the referee halted the super middleweight fight. LaManna hit the canvas in the third, fourth and fifth rounds. After the fifth round, the ringside doctor examined LaManna's battered face and recommended the fight be stopped. The referee obliged – officially, one second into the sixth round. 'I'm back,'' Charlo said. 'I'm back.'' The snapping jab. The powerful right. Combination. Charlo hit LaManna with it all and he looked as formidable as ever. Charlo, 35, improved to 34-0 and indicated he would welcome a fight with Caleb Plant. LaManna, 33, fell to 39-6-1. Round 1: During the introductions, pink letters across Thomas LaManna's white T-shirt read, 'Shock the World.' And it definitely would be a shock to see LaManna upset Charlo, the former middleweight champ. Doesn't look like LaManna has been doing any weightlifting in recent months, or years. But he throws a crisp jab and an overhand right as the action gets underway. Charlo answers with jab that draws blood from LaManna's nose. Boy, those Charlo jabs look solid and quick. Charlo looks very serious. LaManna looks a little nervous with blood on his face as the round ends. Charlo 10, LaManna 9. Round 2: Charlo comes out firing that jab, and LaManna does the same. Charlo attacks the body, then lands another solid jab and LaManna's right eye is starting to swell and the blood continues to dribble. Charlo lands a right. LaManna in cover-up mode. LaManna shakes his head, as if to say he's not hurt. Anyone believe it? Charlo 20, LaManna 18. Round 3: LaManna comes out swinging, which seems to energize Charlo. Charlo lands a right and follows with a couple of lefts. Charlo lands a combo and down goes LaManna! LaManna beats the 8 count with blood trickling from his left eye. Charlo lands another hard right and LaManna is taunting Charlo. LOL. Boy, LaManna's left eye is a bloody mess as the round ends. Charlo 30, LaManna 26. Round 4: LaManna lurches around, seeming unsure if he wants to punch or cover up. Charlo leaning on that jab. More herky-jerky movement from LaManna, who takes a shot from Charlo. Charlo delivers stiff lefts, and LaManna nearly hits the deck before collecting himself. It's ruled a knockdown after review, according to the broadcast. Charlo 40, LaManna 34. Round 5: Charlo tattooing LaManna's with those lighting quick jabs. Follows up with a hard right and down goes LaManna again! He beats the count and moves toward Charlo, Later shakes his head. Charlo smiles, then misses with a big right. LaManna taunts him. Really! Taunts him. But LaManna lands a huge right! Charlo absorbs it without trouble. Charlo 50, LaManna 42. Update: Fight is stopped by doctor's recommendation. Charlo wins by stoppage. Hernandez knocked Davis down in the second round and dominated the 10-round middleweight fight start to finish. All three judges scored the bout 100-89 for Hernandez, the savvy Cuban who won two world championship amateur championships before turning pro. Somehow Davis finished the fight on his feet – Hernandez's first pro opponent to do so. Hernandez, 27, improved his record to 8-0. Davis, 30, dropped to 19-4-1. Round 1: Yoenli Hernandez heads out against Kyrone Davis looking for his eighth consecutive KO victory. Hernandez, looking considerably bigger than his opponent, fires hard early – jabs and rights. Davis hits the canvas because Hernandez tosses him there. 'We're not wrestling,'' says the referee. Hernandez lands two big rights and Davis probably wishes they were wrestling instead of boxing. Davis responds with a couple of jabs but Hernandez dominates the round. Hernandez 10, Davis 9. Round 2: Hernandez backpedals before scoring with a left and then a right. Yet Davis still marching forward. Hernandez showing some caution, leaning on his jab. Now Hernandez opening up again, and down goes Davis! Clobbered with a left. Davis beats the count and the fight resumes with about 30 seconds left in the count. Hernandez slugging away, but Davis survives the round. Hernandez 20, Davis 17. Round 3: Davis comes out stalking, oddly enough. Wasn't this guy just on the canvas? Indeed, he was. Hernandez punishes Davis with a couple of lefts and now Davis is backpedaling. Hernandez lands another hard right and Davis bounces off the ropes. Davis lands a right, but Hernandez keeps moving forward and closes with a flurry. Hernandez 30, Davis 26. Round 4: Davis stalks, and he pays the price. But the referee warns Hernandez for a shoulder strike. He seems to only need his fists. Hernandez now tagging Davis with jabs, then attacks Davis' body. Hernandez 40, Davis 35. Round 5: Hernandez swarms almost from the sound of the bell. Just an incredible variety of punches – jabs, straights, uppercuts, body shots. You name it, he's throwing it – and landing it. Hernandez leaning up against the ropes and defends with a high guard before pouncing. Connects with a hard right and another. Hernandez 50, Davis 44. Round 6: Davis showing surprising bounce in his feet but can't convert that energy into landed punches. Davis is the aggressor and has Hernandez on the ropes. Davis lands two hard rights. But Hernandez rallies with uppercuts and another hard right. Head snapping left. Hernandez 60, Davis 53. Round 7: Davis talking trash midway through the round. What could he possibly be saying? 'Why haven't you knocked me out yet?'' Davis then lets his left fist do the talking. It lands hard. But not as hard as Hernandez's right now. Hernandez continues to dominate and looks in control. Hernandez 70, Davis 62. Round 8: Davis still swinging, and kind of remarkable he's still on his feet, much less throwing with some authority. Hernandez's punches still look so crisp. Davis shows life, and Hernandez takes it away with an array of punches. Hernandez 80, Davis 71. Round 9: Hernandez dancing and showboating. Hey, why not? It's Vegas. Then he pummels Davis with a big right. Lands a big right uppercut. Davis fighting back and with some effectiveness. But the exchanges end with Hernandez doing the swinging and landing, and Davis is bleeding from the mouth. Hernandez 90, Davis 80. Round 10: Davis clearly needs a knockout, but he's in no hurry to throw the Hail Marys. Hernandez waves on Davis and unleashes big rights. Davis accepts the invitation and meets Hernandez on the ropes. But Hernandez bounces away before whaling away with right hands. More showboating from Hernandez, who wants the knockout. Lands another vicious right, but Davis not going down. Hernandez 100, Davis 89. Sporting unbeaten records, Lucero and Valenzuela came out swinging. But only one landed punches with ferocity in the super middleweight fight. Lucero dropped Valenzuela with a thunderous right in the second round. Valenzuela got back on his feet and the fight resumed, but Lucero quickly smothered him with a barrage of punches and the referee halted the super middleweight fight at 2:57 of the second round. Lucero, the 26-year-old from Mexico, won by knockout for the sixth consecutive fight and improved to 17-0. Valenzuela, a 28-year-old from Mexico, dropped to 23-1. Round 1: Now underway, a battle of unbeatens, Isaac Lucero (16-0) vs. Omar Valenzuela (23-0). The fighters trade solid rights, throwing caution to the wind. Lucero lands another stiff right and seems to stun Valenzuela. Lucero lands more punches and Valenzuela goes down. But it's no knockdown after the referee rules the punch hit Valenzuela in the back of the head. Lucero 10, Valenzuela 9. Round 2: Both fighters come out swinging, with Valenzuela surprisingly active considering he was on the canvas at the end of Round 1. Valenzuela smothering Lucero. Lucero fights back, in particular with an uppercut. Valenzuela continues to attack Lucero's body. Down goes Valenzuela! This time it's legit, a rocket right hand. Facing a barrage of Lucero punches, Valenzuela is trying to survive. But it's too late. The ref halts the right. Lucero wins by TKO! Moton, the highly touted Floyd Mayweather protégé, beat Mastrapa by unanimous decision in the eight-round lightweight fight, according to The Ring. Moton, 18-year-old from Las Vegas, improved to 8-0. It was only the second time in eight fights he has not won by stoppage. Mastrapa, a 28-year-old from Cuba, fell to 4-2-1. Cangelosi preserved his unblemished record with a victory over Figueroa by majority decision in their eight-round super welterweight fight, according to BoxRec. Cangelosi, a 27-year-old from Italy, improved to 11-0. Figueroa, a 34-year-old from Puerto Rico, fell to 13-3. John Easter def. Andres Martinez by unanimous decision Easter stayed unbeaten with a victory over Martinez by unanimous decision in the six-round super middleweight bout, according to Easter, a 22-year-old from Las Vegas, improved to 9-0.

Caleb Plant vs. Jose Armando Resendiz predictions: Full card, odds, picks
Caleb Plant vs. Jose Armando Resendiz predictions: Full card, odds, picks Mandalay Bay will play host to a terrific fight card this weekend as the WBA super middleweight bout takes center stage with Caleb Plant taking on Jose Armando Resendiz. Plant is a former IBF world champion and has gone toe-to-toe with some of the best fighters in the world throughout his career, including Canelo Alvarez and David Benavidez. However, at 32 years old (33 in July), some boxing fans are wondering whether or not Plant can still hang in the 168-pound division. Plant's opponent is a wild card. Resendiz is known for his aggressive style. That style has led to many upsets for Resendiz, and he can be tough to predict when he enters the ring. That said, Plant has handled such fighters like that in the past and had no issue. Can Resendiz break the trend? Here's everything to know for this Saturday's boxing event in Las Vegas. MORE: British boxer Georgia O'Connor dies at 25, days after getting married Predictions for Plant vs. Resendiz Abraham Gonzalez, YardBarker: Plant to win in unanimous decision Gonzalez writes, "This will be an interesting fight if Plant decides to stay on the inside and make it a slugfest with Resendiz, but I don't see that happening. Plant will use his footwork and Ring IQ to keep it outside of mid-range and box his way to a unanimous decision." Frank Monkhouse, WSN: Plant to win in Rounds 7-9 Monkhouse writes, "Plant is our pick, but how will he win? Each of his last two wins have come in round nine, encouraging a bet on Plant to win in rounds 7-9 at odds of +260." Joey Mills, Bet Insights: Plant to win handedly Mills writes, "I think Plant cruises this one, bar a complete dereliction of duty. Any fighter can beat another, no matter how accomplished, if one has prepared well and the other has not. But I do not believe Plant will have taken his foot off the gas."

Cyclists struck by vehicle while handing out immigration rights cards in Boyle Heights
Police are still looking for the driver who allegedly rammed into a group of cyclists handing out immigration red cards to pedestrians last month in Boyle Heights before fleeing the scene. About 12 people attended the 'Know Your Rights Ride Out' event Feb. 25, organized by 33-year-old Boyle Heights resident Daniel Flores Resendiz. Resendiz and his friends planned to bike from Mariachi Plaza to Atlantic Boulevard down Cesar Chavez Avenue, then down Whittier Boulevard back to Mariachi Plaza. The group made about five stops, handing out red cards to street vendors. Red cards, also known as 'Know Your Rights' cards, contain information on a person's rights should they encounter a federal immigration agent. The incident occurred on mile three, he said. An unregistered vehicle ran into four bicyclists on the 600 block of South Lorena Street around 7:45 p.m., a LAPD spokesperson told the Boyle Heights Beat. Surveillance video shows the car slowing down and knocking over the bikers. 'This block was not well lit, but we all had lights on and were riding in the right lane and we are legally allowed to ride and take the full lane,' Resendiz said. 'I was the only one trying to stop the vehicle and had thrown my bike under it and she had run it over, and that gave us enough time for the folks in the back to grab the plates.' Three women were struck by the car and one man, Irvin Flores, was sent to the hospital with head lacerations, Resendiz said. One of the victims, Nancy Lopez, told Fox 11 that her impact broke off one of the driver's rear mirrors and caused a dent on the car. The car is believed to be a 2016 Kia sedan with the plate number 8GAN606, police said. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told The Times on Sunday that no update is available for this incident. Anyone with information about the vehicle or the driver can call the LAPD at (877) 527-3247. Sign up for Essential California for news, features and recommendations from the L.A.
