SportsTranscript
00:00okay boxes both chunks are good we went over the instructions earlier as a reminder obey
00:07my commands at all times protect yourself at all times test gloves good luck talk about those
00:11quantes win a switch plan told us he's too strong too fast and too slick for resendiz
00:20resendiz would love to spoil the plans of that grudge match plant versus jamaul charlo who just
00:27picked up a win over thomas lamana this is your main event and this is round number one
00:38and remember against pressure fighters plants already selective punch output tends to dip right
00:45no question about that you have to see early on whether resendiz can cut through get inside that
00:52jab really try to make plant uncomfortable and let him know this is going to be a lot harder than he
00:57might expect it'll be interesting again since uh teaming up with brentman edwards both wins have
01:02come by way of knockout and what we saw is after mentioned the adjustment he made against
01:06trevor mccombie in his last fight overcoming early adversity including a shoulder shot flush knockdown
01:13he maneuvered mccombie to the ropes became a inside brawler working the body and head with combinations
01:20before stopping mccombie while still on his feet it will be interesting to see if pratt shows some of
01:26that dog at him here tonight yeah i mean i think once the pressure starts from resendiz you're gonna
01:32see that out of plant but right now being smart with the jack the stick keeping keeping resendiz at bay yeah he's
01:40also a very effective counter puncher he would love to walk resendiz into a counter punch with resendiz
01:46pressure but resendiz right now very cautious very respectful of the former 168 pound champion
01:54body shot by resendiz we mentioned resendiz looking the part this week of a main eventer
02:00the confidence the swag kind of looks like a young mario lopez a huge boxing fan in his own right as well but
02:06will that translate to winning rounds and hurting caleb plant as they feel each other out the first
02:11round there's more from resendiz taking this round off trying to figure out what plant brings
02:17and plant doing exactly what he's supposed to do against the fire guys in front of him the jab
02:22lateral movements and waiting for resendiz to come in and catch him with the straight right hands
02:27there it is resendiz eating that right hand plant splitting the guard
02:32plant on the back foot
02:38and that's another thing resendiz does not have the best defense out there he gets hit a lot
02:43so i we hope to see that plant you know and so does plant opponents have found success landing 35
02:49of their power shots and we would like to see if resendiz can exploit that stat because as we mentioned
02:56against pressure fighters plant's output can dip but he remains composed calculating and fully focused and
03:02brian his mental fortitude second to none just a gritty tough adaptable fighter inside of there
03:09fights with the veteranship maturity but also he can gun it out when he has to and when we talk about
03:15resendiz's pressure i'm not alarmed at how slow he started the fight because it really is in the
03:20championship rounds where race and these might have the potential to have the biggest effect
03:24i'm walking the plant down and not working yeah he's a fighter that can pick it up any given
03:28ground but right now this is just fighting from the outside cable plant
03:38somebody give me the uh the baggies with the ice in it
03:44nice and easy right the one's it i got you i'm gonna put some water right here
03:48how you feel everything good all right listen you're rushing your big stuff too early you
03:55work with that stick remember we talked about not showing them too much early you okay everything's
04:00good everything's good just keep changing levels keep changing levels go straight shots to the body
04:06don't show them too much and hit the closest thing for you if you got to win this fight with 12 rounds of
04:11a jab then win the fight with 12 rounds of a jab you don't have to do nothing extra you hear me
04:15all right all right we up 10 9 we up 10 9 we up 10 9 no we up 10 9
04:35cautious opening three minutes plant landing four of 32 resendiz two of 13 neither landed a power shot
04:45so he's going to be able to win this fight with him and he's going to be able to win this fight
04:51interesting for all the copy box numbers that support resendiz being the pressure fighter he's really
04:56trying to make plant take the lead here and settling into almost a counter punching role early on
05:02yeah and playing's doing that exactly on cue what the corner told him it looks like it's the game plan
05:08you know wait for resendiz to come in catch him with the overhand rights counter punching and not do you know more
05:15than that if we have to win 12 rounds just doing that we we can the the corner set but again i i want
05:21to see plan invest a little bit to the body as well lands a very effective body culture above the
05:28division average
05:29you definitely want to invest in the body breakdown percentage because there is going to come a time
05:39where plant is going to a fight in the inside
05:45or not according to president as you mentioned right if he brings 12 rounds with the job so
05:50be it doesn't want to show him too much too soon
05:56it all comes down to resendiz the pressure the body and we're not seeing that from the resendiz
06:04a more cautious start by resendiz does not surprise me at all to be honest
06:09as we talked about if there is a vulnerability to plan like we saw in the benavidez fight that
06:13was caught to win for the world title it's that late you can put that pressure on against him but
06:18you got to get there and you got to have done something on the on the journey to getting there
06:23but we're seeing a little uptick in that pressure from resendiz here in round two yeah i can't get in
06:27no jab behind the pressure for resendiz we talked about jamal charlo having one of the best jabs in
06:33the sport while caleb plant has a very solid jab as well especially when he's countering off with that
06:39quick checkup with the left hand and he goes to the body there under a minute left here in the second
06:46that's been the night of the jabs right hernandez charlo and now plants
06:59a lot of feeling out still here too
07:01how about those kicks on caleb plant inspired by the original air jordan's uh sweet hands with faith
07:12that connects to the shoe surgeon
07:15the ross right to the ross right to the ross right to the ross right to the ross right to the ross
07:32doesn't want to spend too much time along the road
07:34but he's here
07:42You got to pick up the rhythm, he didn't like the body, when he sticks that jack out there you push it down with your left hand and then hit it over to that right, or hit him with the upper
08:12right, take that lead hat away. Shadow stairs, downstairs, for a straight right hand to the body. For radial punches, ok? Let's go. Only third round, let's go.
08:31Lance trainer, Steven Bretman Edwards saying hey you look good but don't be cocky. I want more straight shots to the body.
08:39How to take that fight out of the ball if you can early so smart strategy with clamp at those
08:45Pinpoint right-hand pot shots download sharp job by plan to start round three
08:55Just another jab by plant upstairs and downstairs changing levels with it just really educated jab from plants
09:03Not a powerful jack just to set it up jack the stick
09:09After even when plants at his best, it's a lot of movement a lot of circle in the way
09:13Do you think there's anybody racing these days hoping to use that against him?
09:22He moves the ring really well he waits for the right moment
09:25I think he's just gonna come down to a point where he's gonna be able to counter it easy with Resendiz
09:29Left land and the lead left hook to the bodies
09:32That right hand don't stop the high guard of Resendiz
09:36But Resendiz unable to get on track unable to to put that pressure together and throw a lot of punches
09:41Thanks to the jab and the movement of plant as we expected
09:44Exactly the lateral movements that plant is doing he's not doing a lot or too much movement
09:50Just enough to get you on a different side and angle to shoot your shots
09:55Still need Resendiz to commit to it here to really start to put the foot on the gas and maybe try to echo a little bit of the success
10:01To commit to it here to really start to put the foot on the gas and maybe try to echo a little bit of the success
10:17I can try to echo a little bit of the success Trevor McComby had by being aggressive in that last fight for Caleb Planet.
10:24Trying to catch him early and really change the momentum.
10:26Yeah, McComby buzz played around two, dropped him in round four.
10:30I'll beat a flash knockdown with a shoulder shot, but he was unorthodox.
10:34He lunged it.
10:35And it was a combination of that product around the place.
10:39Left hand by Resendez.
10:42So his best punches of the fight.
10:43It is when you let your hands go is when you're going to do damage.
10:48Resendez needs to do that.
10:49Push Plant back.
10:51Plant is known to go straight back.
10:53So you've got to follow up with one or two punches, just like Resendez did.
10:56Resendez with a boisterous fan base here in Las Vegas.
11:03And Chelsa with the hook for Resendez.
11:05Let's another combination.
11:07Now Resendez going against Redmond Plotty.
11:10Resendez trying to roughhouse him a little bit in there.
11:15That was a nice overhead run by Resendez.
11:18There's a check left hook again by Platt.
11:21Ah, Platt takes to the body with that left.
11:24There's the body work.
11:25Stopper Resendez on this tracks.
11:27Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
11:40All right, right?
11:44What's a little jab?
11:51What you think, right?
11:52Give me a deep, deep, deep, deep breath.
11:57All right, let's take a look at Resendez's work in that last round.
12:02Yeah, man told him the corner told him don't get cocky, and that's what he did.
12:06He put his hands out, pulling back, feeling comfortable.
12:09He caught an overhand left there.
12:12And here's another look at it.
12:14It was a straight left going backwards.
12:16Not a lot of power behind that, but enough to get Platt's attention.
12:21But this overhand ride was just on cue.
12:24Perfect time overhand ride.
12:26Right when Platt was trying to get out of trouble, he found trouble, and he got hit right in the chin.
12:32Coming into this fight, Resendez's signature victory was an upset 10th round TKO against the comebacking former Unified 154-pound champion Jared Hurd.
12:44A fight contested at middleweight back in March of 2023.
12:47Larry Hazzard has an unofficial scorecard.
12:49He has Platt ahead 29-28.
12:52Gave the last round to Resendez.
12:54Yeah, the eye-catching punches definitely were from Resendez.
12:59Closing out the round.
13:01Nice left hook curled around the high guard by Platt.
13:08But a shot by Resendez, his assistant trainer at Garth.
13:12So, since he's a great body puncher.
13:16Starting to see the swagger of Resendez return.
13:19The activity's starting to pick up as he's sitting down with these shots.
13:22And we notice, you know, watching Platt, uh, fight for Platt, that sometimes he tires out so much that, you know, it's a mental thing.
13:32There's times where the fighter's not even pressuring him a lot, and he's, he's patting back in his samples.
13:37He can't do that in this fight.
13:38And sometimes he can be over, overthinking.
13:41Overthinking, yes.
13:42Punches what he should.
13:43Like, even in those moments right there, you, you are giving the moment, the space, and, and, and, and, and the right place.
13:51Glad you're shot for Platt, and he does not pull the trigger.
13:54Quick, quick, don't break this fight every time.
13:57Quick, quick, stop.
13:59There's our left hand to the value by Platt.
14:02Resendez coming forward.
14:04It's behind the high guard, but eats the jack.
14:07Now, back on the right thing.
14:08There is a crunch.
14:09Quick, quick.
14:10Platt just pulling out just a little bit of that gas tank.
14:13Taking a little bit from it with every left hole.
14:15Continues to meet Resendez with body shots as Resendez comes forward.
14:20Beautiful body shot from Platt.
14:22Now we're committing one good body shot, and he's out of it.
14:25Oh, that's a little right hand by Platt.
14:27You see the abrasions on the nose of Platt.
14:29Almost look like maybe a cup has opened up on the bridge.
14:32Here comes Resendez, though.
14:35There's the jab.
14:36I'm seeing the jab a lot more from Resendez.
14:38And he's backing Platt up.
14:47You know, Resendez says this week his plan is to pull this upset tonight,
14:51and then it's he that wants to fight Jermall Charlo next
14:55and continue to climb that ladder in this 168-part division.
14:58There was a moment there for Resendez where he's going to take advantage of that moment
15:07and throw his punches.
15:08Both of them trying to get the other to bite, opening up a counterpunch opportunity.
15:13Jab to the body by Platt, and they clinch again.
15:16Under 20 seconds left in the fourth.
15:18There's a knee leg from the camera from Resendez.
15:24A lot of menace on that clock.
15:25Oh, somebody to turn this fight into a bra, Resendez.
15:29There's a little bit more fanks so they open up that hitch.
15:43You got me?
15:44I need a little bit more fanks.
15:45Is anything going on out there, Chanel?
15:46No.
15:47It's easy, right?
15:48Yeah.
15:48All right.
15:48I need a little bit more fanks for that hitch, okay?
15:50Start throwing a straight right hand to the body.
15:58Not a round right hand, a straight right hand to the body.
16:00You hear me?
16:01That'd be a jab.
16:01A straight right hand to the body.
16:12Everything good, right?
16:14All right.
16:16Yep.
16:17Keep using your jab and keep being smart.
16:19Keep using your jab and keep being smart, all right?
16:24You're going into round five.
16:26We are 4-0-3-1.
16:28You know, coming into this fight,
16:29Resendez averaged 69 punches a round
16:32in his past five fights tracked by CompuBox.
16:35He's landing a much, way under 30 so far in this fight.
16:40Maybe starting to pick up steam,
16:41but through the first four rounds,
16:44we've seen a deceleration in his offensive output.
16:47Yeah, we're going to have to start
16:49to see a little bit more than just a jab for Plant.
16:52He's got to get Resendez respect and attention
16:54because it seems like Resendez is about to start
16:56picking it up and turn it into a different gear.
16:59Seems to align with why Redman Edwards
17:01is really pushing Caleb to come off of that jab
17:04with that straight right to the body.
17:06Constantly forced Resendez into resetting
17:08and slowing down his momentum.
17:14See, even that shuffle right there bouncing around,
17:17that's what tires you like.
17:18Yeah, spending unnecessary energy.
17:21Unnecessary energy for Plant.
17:23Plant going to the body just like his trainer,
17:25Redman Edwards, wanted to do.
17:26Brian, the jab in the right hand.
17:28It's a smart strategy here,
17:30but when you're Caleb playing it,
17:32you're really a versatile fighter,
17:33and he's proven that
17:34since adding Redman Edwards to his corner
17:37with his father, Richie,
17:38if you're a good coach trainer.
17:40But at the same time,
17:41you don't want to stay too long in the areas
17:43that Resendez has the best opportunity to score,
17:47and that's certainly on the inside.
17:49And Resendez coming forward,
17:51double jab, the right hand to the body.
17:57Yeah, you might want to start boxing out your plant,
18:00and he's doing that right there.
18:01Nice one, two, three, get out of Hall's way.
18:04Step to the side, now it's right back.
18:08There's a body shot by Resendez.
18:10See if I can hurt, Plant.
18:13Definitely got his attention.
18:20Plant on his back foot.
18:23Flashes the jab.
18:25Resendez jacks him upstairs.
18:27What a beautiful, short,
18:28power right hand from Plant.
18:29His in-fighting skills continue to evolve.
18:34Yeah, Resendez getting sneaky now,
18:35getting some inside punches
18:36when they're trying to break.
18:41Under a minute left in round five,
18:43scheduled for 12 at 168 pounds.
18:46Right hand by Paul.
18:48But there was also a right hand
18:49landed by Resendez to the body.
18:52And Resendez will take one for one.
18:54He'll try it.
18:54The essence of a give-and-take fighter.
18:57This has the potential.
19:05We're in round five.
19:06But this has the potential
19:07to get very interesting
19:08if we start rolling
19:10in the 10th floor after the 12th round.
19:11He's only throwing one side.
19:36He can't do that.
19:37Way better round.
19:45Give me a towel.
19:52Way better round.
19:54I have one more pressure now.
19:55Both hands out, though.
19:56Both hands, not just one.
19:57If the tree's going to fall, you've got to be consistent.
20:06You've got to break them down.
20:09And here we see a replay of Resendiz's body work.
20:13There's a short left body shot right there by Resendiz.
20:19Those hurt.
20:20Those are sharp, short body work.
20:23And those hurt really bad.
20:24Not a lot of wine back there, but just enough.
20:30A vocal Mexican contingent not hand supporting.
20:34Armando Resendiz coming off his best round of the fight.
20:38He went 12 of 52 in round five compared to plant seven of 45.
20:43And Resendiz outlanded plant five four in the power shot department.
20:47According to our unofficial scorer, Larry Hazard planned his ahead 48-47.
20:52But he gave Resendiz round number five.
20:56This is round six.
21:00And the pressure now by Resendiz, the jab lands.
21:03Resendiz going downstairs to the body.
21:06Resendiz man taking his time building together this momentum.
21:10But he's at the midway point of the fight exactly where he would want to be.
21:13In the fight, landing the bigger shots, and being the dictator of the terms at times here now with Resendiz.
21:20Yes, coming on.
21:22Resendiz team totally did their homework.
21:24They knew that Resendiz was going to start backing up.
21:27He was going to feel confident in the first round.
21:30And here comes Resendiz.
21:31Way better jab now than this guy, Resendiz.
21:38He's taking my jab away by throwing his own.
21:45Another landing at a high percentage thus far.
21:48And again, he's in here on the line.
21:49He's in here on the line.
21:51He's in here on the line with Resendiz.
21:55Once again, electric lands for plant.
21:57Once again, Caleb Plant on the inside with those short counter shots, those hooks.
22:02Really showing the evolution of the tools that he has offensively.
22:08But again, really, he stays strong.
22:10Too long.
22:10He's waiting too much.
22:12He's moving the one.
22:13But not throwing punches.
22:14Exactly.
22:14Not throwing enough.
22:15Resendiz is putting the punch on him.
22:19And this pro-Resendiz crowd is really heating up with every connected punch.
22:25And even the ones that don't connect.
22:27The momentum totally changed.
22:30It's shifted to the semi-side now.
22:33Final 60 seconds of the six.
22:36Resendiz coming on.
22:42Plant's offense has been absolutely muted here in the sixth round.
22:49Wait, wait, wait.
22:50Wait, wait, wait.
22:51Wait, wait, wait.
22:51Wait, wait, wait.
22:51Wait, wait, wait.
22:53Wait, wait, wait.
22:53Wait, wait, wait.
22:54Wait, wait, wait.
22:55Wait, wait, wait.
22:56Everybody shot there by a plant.
22:58But it has to be more than just one punch.
23:01You got to let your hands go.
23:02There's the right hand.
23:13Let's see if Resendiz goes back to some type of looping shots.
23:16Think of Marcos Maidana when he backs down Floyd Mayweather.
23:19He's gonna slip through the rope.
23:20And then a combination.
23:22And Resendiz taking over the fight.
23:25Here comes the turn.
23:28Resendiz with a hard-wired hand.
23:32And then a combination.
23:34And Resendiz taking over the fight.
23:37And let's take a look at the punch that rocked Caleb Plant.
23:54And let's take a look at the punch that rocked Caleb Plant.
24:04Kind of reminds me of the same overhand right hand that Canelo hurt him with.
24:10Beautiful overhand right hook.
24:12Once, not twice, but three times for the left as well.
24:16That left hook might be his best weapon.
24:18What a powerful shot.
24:19He says he loves the right hook, but the left hook's money.
24:23And he did exactly what he's supposed to do, Resendiz.
24:26He followed up.
24:26He put the pressure overhand right once, twice.
24:30And there's the left as well.
24:32Great round by Resendiz.
24:34The last two rounds have been great for Resendiz.
24:42Resendiz with a 13-6 edge and power punches landed in the fifth and sixth rounds.
24:48Plant going downstairs to kick off round seven.
24:52Yes, he needs to do that.
24:54He's got to slow down, Resendiz.
24:57There's a counter lift by Resendiz and lands on the face of Plant.
25:04Lead left hook calls away in the guard of Resendiz by Plant.
25:09But it's also results.
25:11And he continues to back up.
25:15It seems like Plant is still bothered by that last round.
25:18Oh, good money punch by Plant.
25:20There's a left hook on the inside by Plant in the double jab.
25:24Absolutely brilliant pinpoint counterpunching for Plant here.
25:28But it's only one shot, guys.
25:30It's not, it's going to take more than just one shot to get Resendiz off you.
25:34Let's go.
25:37Resendiz walking forward.
25:39Plant using the jab to try to nullify the attack.
25:43Unofficial score.
25:45Larry Hazard now has the fight even after six rounds as we begin the second half of the scheduled 12-round Super Middleweight Contest.
25:54Remember, it was Caleb Plant who made the genius adjustment
25:57against Trevor McCombie last time to start working on the inside.
26:00It may not be the adjustment he needs in this fight,
26:03but he needs one because you're seeing Resendiz
26:05break through that defense consistently.
26:08Yeah, definitely a different second half of the fight in this one
26:11than the McCombie fight because we see again Resendiz.
26:15Resendiz goes to the body, then upstairs with the left hand,
26:19keeps marching forward, the jab of Plant in his face.
26:22It's Plant utilizing lateral movement, but along the ropes.
26:26Resendiz smothering his offense now, closing in.
26:28There's a left uppercut on the inside by Plant.
26:31And remember, Resendiz, he couldn't get hooked by the bait of Caleb Plant
26:36to try to lurm into this mental truth.
26:38Under a minute left in the seventh.
26:40Double jab by Resendiz.
26:42Resendiz finding his rhythm in his groove.
26:45Going to work, throwing more punches now.
26:48I was telling you guys that there was going to be a time
26:50where he was going to have to turn it into a dogfight.
26:52And here it is for Plant.
26:55Resendiz has been calm.
26:56He's been confident all week.
26:58And look at the poise for a fighter.
27:00You could just say he's more of a brawler, more rugged.
27:02You're seeing skill and placement in here tonight.
27:04Only a fighter in this fight to throw for 50 punches in a round.
27:10Oh, there's a jab now.
27:12Snap.
27:13Plant's headband.
27:14Jab to the body by Resendiz.
27:17Plant trying to maybe bait him into a counter trap,
27:20but Resendiz able to smother Plant.
27:23Plant forced to clinch.
27:25Ten seconds left in round seven.
27:27Another strong round for Resendiz.
27:30Wait, wait, wait.
27:30Listen, this round, you stayed a little bit too long.
27:49I don't want that.
27:49You've got to be intelligent.
27:53You've got to be intelligent.
27:53When you get there, when you get to the inside,
27:57you've got to know what you do.
27:59Don't say that.
28:02When you get in there,
28:03you've got to know exactly what you need to do.
28:05Okay, listen, I'm going to tell you exactly what you do.
28:11Listen.
28:13When you push him down,
28:14take a side step and land that uppercut.
28:21He's tired.
28:24Listen, but when you get there,
28:27let's work.
28:28Let's work the body.
28:30Downstairs and upstairs.
28:31Redman Edwards in Plant's corner.
28:36Watts planned to use the jack to back up Resendiz.
28:40Not a lot of offense in this fight.
28:42Resendiz landed a fight high.
28:4416 punches in round seven.
28:46Doubling Plant's number in the seventh round.
28:51And our unofficial scorer, Larry Hazard,
28:54has Resendiz now ahead in the fight.
28:56And that's the thing Resendiz said
29:00about what he learned from the losses
29:02that are in his record.
29:03It's that you can lose concentration
29:05in key moments,
29:06especially when things aren't going your way.
29:08You can see visually that improvement
29:10to his game.
29:11And now only he's commanding this fight.
29:15The hands are too low for Plant.
29:17He's pulling straight back with his hands out.
29:20He's going to the body,
29:21opening up the counter,
29:22laying up top for Resendiz,
29:24who's landed a couple of good rights.
29:25He's giving Resendiz an opportunity
29:31to land the overhand right.
29:33There it is.
29:34Pick up your hands, Plant.
29:36Jabbed by Resendiz.
29:39Backing Plant up.
29:40And Plant's are down again for Plant.
29:43Plant's output continues to dip
29:45as the pressure picks up.
29:46And it hasn't been all that much anyway
29:48throughout the fight.
29:49Here we are in round eight.
29:56Resendiz, a landing Plant.
30:04And Resendiz's seen everything
30:05that Plant's throwing right now.
30:07He's got the high guard blocking
30:08the straight punches that Plant is throwing.
30:10And when Resendiz commits to that heavy jab
30:13that he did in the last sequence,
30:14that's a weapon for him.
30:15I'd like to see more of that.
30:16Yeah, definitely a strong jab by Resendiz.
30:21Right hand lands for Resendiz.
30:26Smart veteran move right there by Resendiz,
30:28putting all his weight on top of Plant.
30:30I'm sure Fighters have been Plant's Achilles heel
30:32throughout his career.
30:33Even in the big moments, like we said,
30:35his breakthrough title win
30:36over Jose Uzcategui.
30:38Plant had a show of the back phone.
30:4010, 11, 12.
30:41He had a show of the back phone in the key rounds.
30:43Dropped Uzcategui in the second and fourth,
30:45but yeah, survived the championship rounds
30:48to pull out the win.
30:5045 seconds left in the eighth.
30:54Now they are at close quarters,
30:57more of a wrestling match here.
30:58Resendiz trying to fight out of the clinch,
31:00trying to punch out.
31:02Referee Harvey Dock separates them.
31:04Yeah, and it's Plant mainly trying to close the gap
31:08and trying to hold Resendiz.
31:10Showed right hand.
31:11Another right hand lands for Resendiz upstairs.
31:16Resendiz turns plant lands and left and right.
31:21Plant shelling up.
31:23The crowd is waiting on.
31:2610 seconds left in round eight.
31:28Resendiz opening up on Teleplant.
31:31Another huge round for Armando Resendiz.
31:34That's the last shot.
31:44That's the last shot.
31:44I got him, I got him.
31:49I got him.
31:49I got him.
31:50I love him like three times when you're doing that.
31:53That's true.
31:54Don't put your head forward.
31:57Because they're going to take a point away.
31:59Amárralo, amárralo.
32:00Just hold on the ground.
32:01Put your hands to the side, but not forward.
32:03Don't lean in with your head, okay?
32:05You understand?
32:05Yeah.
32:06These fuckers want to take a point from me.
32:07Hey.
32:08Listen, they want to take a point away from you.
32:10They're looking for that.
32:12Do not let them do that.
32:13No permites que te lo quita.
32:15No permites que te lo quita.
32:17No permites que te lo quita.
32:19No permites que te lo quita.
32:19And we're going to see a replay of what happened towards the end of this round.
32:24Abraham Ward runs twice by Resendiz.
32:27The inside work body shots and just turning plant and make you Resendiz his fight.
32:32Harvey Dock has warned Resendiz three times for using his head.
32:37But he's used his head smartly as well with his strategy and game plan.
32:41He's taken over the fight.
32:43And here we are in round number nine.
32:45And that jab has also become an effective weapon for Resendiz.
32:51Yeah, he's back to his jab.
32:52His jab is a power jab.
32:54Plant is a stick trying to keep Resendiz out, but he's not being effective with it.
33:03Sharp jab by Resendiz.
33:05Left uppercut on the inside.
33:07Plant clinches again trying to punch out.
33:15I want to start seeing the adjustments from Plant.
33:19There it is.
33:20The one-two body work.
33:21More body work.
33:22Breath the body to Resendiz.
33:24Slow him down.
33:26He's a little dirty.
33:27You've got to be dirty in this fight.
33:28And that's been the key to his success this round.
33:31Particularly with the right hand of the body.
33:35Beat him in his home fight in the inside.
33:37Laid left hook lands downstairs for Plant.
33:40Plant's building some momentum here.
33:42Oh, a right uppercut lands on the inside for Resendiz.
33:47Resendiz, three-punch combination.
33:51And just when Plant was starting to look good, Resendiz comes back with his own
33:55and reminds him that he's right here to win tonight.
33:59This main event has been compelling.
34:01It is delivered up to this point.
34:02Beat this fight!
34:03Beat this fight!
34:03Beat this fight!
34:03Beat this fight!
34:05Beat this fight!
34:05Beat this fight!
34:07Beat this fight!
34:07Body shots by Resendiz.
34:09Beat this fight!
34:09Beat this fight!
34:09Beat this fight!
34:10Beat this fight!
34:11Beat this fight!
34:12Beat this fight!
34:12Unless Resendiz showed body shot to the liver by Plant.
34:17Plant's sitting down on his punches more this round.
34:20That's a veteran move to slow down the momentum of his opponent.
34:27Oh, tape.
34:28I thought they were going to take a point away for a second.
34:31You know, Plant, two and two in his last four fights
34:34and the two losses to Canelo and Benavidez.
34:36Very good for the first four rounds, but then fading down the stretch.
34:41Resendiz seems to improve.
34:42He's going to have paced himself for that kind of fight.
34:43And he's going to have a hand that from Resendiz.
34:47There is a reason why Plant chose Resendiz as his power perfect for the Canelo fight.
34:56Resendiz resembles Canelo's style.
34:59The pressure, the aggression, the volume.
35:02Under a minute left here in the ninth.
35:05And it's yet another big round for Armando Resendiz.
35:10Outthrowing, outlanding, Caleb Plant.
35:18Plant going to the body.
35:20Resendiz responds in kind.
35:22Now Resendiz putting his weight on Plant, trying to sap even more strength out of his body.
35:30Plant backing up.
35:32Body shot by Resendiz and the jab through the guard.
35:38And Resendiz throwing much more than Plant and landing.
35:41I'll tell you, when it is fading.
35:44Yes, he is.
35:45And this has been a heck of an audition at 168 for Resendiz' future hopes.
35:49Win or lose, he's backing the former champion off.
35:52What does it say about Caleb Plant's future?
35:58A huge favorite coming into this fight against Armando Resendiz.
36:03Look, if there's no separation between the rival, look at the pin and the one, two.
36:11There's no separation between the pin, pin.
36:13Pin, double pin, and the one, two.
36:14And here, we're going to see the headbutts that Caleb Plant was kept.
36:22Has been complaining about.
36:23And yeah, Resendiz being sneaky with that.
36:27Oh, there's really...
36:29The referee has been on top of it, though.
36:31We've seen all these headbutts.
36:33And Resendiz needs to be careful because they will take a point away from him.
36:38Better in move here.
36:39But he's scoring points with those body shots.
36:41Yeah.
36:45There's a headbutt and a body shot at the same moment, at the same time.
36:49It's starting to look deliberate in there.
36:50And a point swing at this juncture of the fight could be crucial.
36:54Round 10.
36:55What adjustments does Plant need to make down the stretch, Brian?
36:59I don't think he can trade on the inside consistently with Resendiz.
37:02But to slow down the forward momentum, the pinpoint body shots are a big key.
37:06But you've got to pick up that output at the same time.
37:08Yeah, I want him to throw a lot more straight punches.
37:13One, two.
37:15Turn it into a boxing match.
37:16Hold.
37:17Hold Resendiz.
37:18Turn them.
37:18And just try to win the fight from the outside.
37:21Easier set than done with the Resendiz being on top of you.
37:25Roley Romero played spoiler on May 2nd, upsetting Ryan Garcia and spoiling his rematch with Devin Haney.
37:32We talked about the opening, the grudge match on the horizon between Caleb Plant and Jamal Charlo.
37:37That seems to be slipping away from Caleb Plant here as we go into the first minute of round number 10.
37:46Can Resendiz close the show with nonstop pressure?
37:52Because when he picks it up, Plant slows down.
37:55That has been a contributing trend here.
37:58And this has been the case throughout Plant's career.
38:02Yeah, a lot of jabs thrown in this round by Resendiz.
38:04No output, fading down the stretch.
38:07And there's a short right hand by Resendiz.
38:12Counter right by Resendiz.
38:15There's a right apricot by Plant.
38:19But Plant needs to throw a lot more.
38:22Yeah, he's faded.
38:23I don't know if he can anymore.
38:25He's more worried about what Resendiz is going to throw.
38:31I believe left hand there from Plant.
38:33Yeah, I'm liking Resendiz's hand movement, too, in this fight.
38:36Something that we've got to mention.
38:38I've seen in the past fights where he gets hit a lot.
38:40Not in this fight.
38:41Great hand movement by Resendiz.
38:43Resendiz leading in every statistical department.
38:50Pot shot right hand blocked by Resendiz.
38:52We have not seen Caleb Plant put together any fluid combinations.
38:57Be unable to put together any combinations of any note.
39:00And it's because the countering of Resendiz leads to back-and-forth training.
39:04And that's not where Plant wants to be.
39:08Yeah, definitely a lot more power, a lot more steam behind the punches from Resendiz.
39:12But Plant is trying to keep him away.
39:14Keep him off with that jab.
39:15But not enough.
39:16Pressure is on Plant here to do what he's known for.
39:22Literally and figuratively.
39:23The mid-ground, mid-fight adjustment that changes the momentum of the fight.
39:31Resendiz wearing Plant down with those body shots.
39:34The pressure taking its toll on Caleb Plant.
39:38The jams, the hooks.
39:45It's all Armando Resendiz.
39:48He's thrown 70 punches in round 10 compared to 50 for Plant.
39:52Outlanding Plant, 28-9 in the round.
39:58And the look on Jordan Plant's face says it all.
40:01A look of concern.
40:02I'm not going to lie to you.
40:16Listen.
40:20Hey, listen.
40:21We need these two rounds, okay, kid?
40:23All right.
40:24But don't rush it.
40:25Sit down on your shot.
40:27You don't have to put four or five together.
40:29Put two and three together.
40:30You got to put two and three together and break on your hook side.
40:36Jab, slide to the hook side, and come back with your hook.
40:39All right?
40:40Don't break down to your right side because the right-hand time is something to do.
40:44We need these two rounds.
40:46We need these two rounds.
40:47Redman Edwards desperately saying we need these two rounds.
40:50He needs more combinations.
40:53Round number 11.
40:54But unfortunately, that means that he's going to have to stay in the pocket.
40:58Major upset alert.
41:00And that's where Resendiz is known to be best.
41:08And it's a big lead on Larry Hazard's unofficial scorecard for Armando Resendiz.
41:14We told you his signature victory coming in was when he stopped Jared Hurd due to a severely lacerated lip.
41:21The only stoppage loss of Hurd's 35-pro career.
41:24And he's on the verge of recording an even bigger win here tonight against Caleb Platt.
41:34And being smart, trying to hold him.
41:39The throw line needs to go on the offensive.
41:41The pressure.
41:45Mountain.
41:52Body shot by Resendiz.
41:54Body shot by Platt.
41:57And Platt is trying.
41:59Right up front of the inside, Lance, for Resendiz.
42:01But it's the constant aggression.
42:04The body from Resendiz in the inside.
42:07Sneaky shots.
42:08Short shots.
42:12There's a body shot by Platt.
42:14But again, single shots.
42:15No combinations.
42:16No follow-up with the right hand.
42:18And the pressure continues from Resendiz.
42:22And you see that blood continue to flow from the eyes of Platt.
42:26The damage is piling up.
42:35Resendiz has used his job effectively here tonight.
42:39Can't see ever.
42:40Yes.
42:41And the first half of 2025 has been about big upset moments like Rollywood Merrill against Ryan Garcia.
42:46Or upset performances in a loss like Ramon Cardenas against the great Niwa Inouye.
42:52Resendiz adding his name to that equation but also announcing himself as a tough out in this definition.
42:57Which is something that wasn't secured coming into this fight.
43:00On to a minute left in the 11th.
43:03They say Resendiz might be too small for this weight class.
43:07He's showing otherwise.
43:09He's coming up with a big performance.
43:12Platt going to the body.
43:14Unable to do what his trainer, Bretman Edwards, wanted him to do.
43:20And that's in large part because of Resendiz's sustained pressure.
43:29It's incredible how much Resendiz is dominating Platt statistically down the stretch of this fight.
43:37And it goes again to the old story for Caleb Platt.
43:40Fading down the stretch.
43:42Against the pressure fighter.
43:43And in this case, Resendiz is proving he belongs in the name with the other names who've done that to play.
43:50Ooh.
43:51Oh, it's counter right by Platt.
44:01Good right hand, kick.
44:02Good right hand, kick.
44:03It's counter right.
44:04Good right hand.
44:05Good right hand.
44:05Good right hand.
44:06Good right hand.
44:06Good right hand.
44:07Good right hand.
44:07Good right hand.
44:12Hey, we need this round, champ.
44:13Last round.
44:13We're going to touch you out.
44:14Listen to me.
44:15Can you fight this round on the bout?
44:17Can you fight this round on the bout?
44:18Yes.
44:19Okay, we need this round kid. I'm not gonna ever lie to you. I love you, kid. We need this fucking round.
44:28You wanna be a champion? You gotta cover this round.
44:31Behind the paint. Behind the 1-2.
44:34Listen, of course, you gotta be careful.
44:41Control. Control aggression. Control aggression.
44:46Get some air. Control aggression.
44:49Armando Resendi's first 12-round fight makes it to the 12th round.
44:54He's on the verge of recording a life-altering victory.
45:03Lance Corner said, we need this round. I think they need more than just the round.
45:07They need a knockout. Yes, or a knockout.
45:10Depends how you score it. There have been close rounds, but there's no doubt this second half has been almost all Resendis.
45:16Resendis. And the rounds of Resendis have won have been clear cut.
45:24This is not going to do it for Caleb Platt.
45:25Nope. Unnecessary jumping there.
45:28Just wasting energy. Waste that energy throwing punches, Platt.
45:33There you go.
45:34We've also never seen this mature a boxing performance from Resendis before.
45:41Not on this level.
45:47Body shot by Resendis.
45:49Yeah, the sharp, great head move inside of the side by Resendis.
45:53Making it hard for Platt to land those straight punches.
45:55Resendis on top of Platt.
45:57Continues to put on the pressure off the front.
46:01Platt goes to the back.
46:02He's left another run out of lines for Resendis upstairs.
46:10There's the answer for that to Platt.
46:11There it is.
46:12A one, two, move to the side.
46:14Don't stay on the ropes.
46:15Resendis on!
46:17Resendis on!
46:19Resendis on!
46:21Resendis on!
46:23Resendis on!
46:25Resendis on!
46:27Coming into this fight, would you have thought that Armando Resendis would have a better connect
46:33percentage than a guy like Caleb Platt and Ryan Campbell?
46:36No chance from what we thought we knew coming in here between these two fighters,
46:40but that's why you throw the odds out the window.
46:44When you touch gloves, anything can happen.
46:47And El Toro is making his bid in the super middleweight division.
46:54He's closing the show, guys.
46:56Pressure makes diamonds.
46:58Armando Resendis shining bright like one here in his first 12-round attraction under the bright
47:05lights of Las Vegas against a former champion in Caleb Platt.
47:11Armando Resendis 40 seconds away from the biggest win of his career.
47:17Armando Resendis 40 seconds away from the best gift he can give his child that's weeks away from arriving.
47:24He said his secret to pulling the upset was that fatherhood that's coming.
47:40What pride is he showing right now?
47:45An incredible performance by the huge underdog Armando Resendis.
47:55Armando Resendis, they go 12 rounds.
48:08Armando Resendis, they feel it's academic from our vantage point.
48:19We feel the same way.
48:20The numbers indicate that Armando Resendis should walk out of Las Vegas with the biggest win of his career.
48:29It's up to the judges at ringside to determine the victory.
48:32Yes, that's the scary point right now.
48:35The numbers don't lie, and here's exactly what else doesn't lie is what we saw tonight.
48:41The punches landed.
48:43Caleb Platt started off good, landing straight punches, boxing, but it's Resendis aggression.
48:48The overhand right many times, right in the chin of Caleb Platt when he was backing up.
48:54There were times where Caleb Platt was landing vicious body work.
48:58Good shots, good left hand, but again Resendis had an answer for all of that,
49:02and that was aggression again.
49:04Smart, short body work, overhand right, overhand left, volume, sharp right hand,
49:13constantly on top of Caleb Platt's left hand.
49:20The constant work from Resendis, the beautiful jab.
49:28And here are the numbers, Abner, and they are all in favor of Armando Resendis.
49:43All right, Jimmy Lennon Jr. is standing by with the official decision.
49:51Ladies and gentlemen, after 12 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards.
49:55We have a split decision.
49:57Here are the score totals.
50:00Judge at ringside, Max DeLuca scores about 116 to 112 in favor of Armando Resendis.
50:09And the new interim WBA super middleweight world champion, Armando
50:39Resendis, Armando Resendis has just upset Caleb Platt via split decision.
51:02Thank you for having me feeling you.
51:04Thank you, boss.
