Resendiz Upsets Plant For WBA Interim Title In Las Vegas

News summary

Armando Resendiz delivered a stunning upset by defeating former IBF super middleweight champion Caleb Plant via split decision to claim the WBA interim super middleweight title in Las Vegas. Resendiz dominated the latter half of the fight, outworking and outpunishing Plant, who appeared slowed and bloodied as the fight progressed, despite a controversial judge scoring the fight for Plant. The victory disrupted plans for a highly anticipated super middleweight showdown between Plant and Jermall Charlo, who won his fight that same night and was expected to face Plant later this year. Resendiz, 26, showcased relentless aggression and effective body shots, earning the favor of the crowd and his corner while overcoming warnings for head-leading. Plant acknowledged the close nature of the bout but conceded the judges' decision, while Resendiz expressed gratitude and confidence in his preparation and team. This upset shifts the division's landscape, potentially setting up future clashes involving Resendiz and Charlo.
