Caleb Plant vs Armando Reséndiz: Warning Issued Ahead of Vegas Showdown
Plant is ready to face the heavy-handed Reséndiz (15-2, 11 KOs), and said about his upcoming fight: “May 31 is gonna be fireworks. It’s gonna be a great show with a great card. From top to bottom, it’s a stacked card.
“Me and my team have been working really hard to make sure we step on Armando in impressive fashion and get my hand raised. Then we’re gonna go on about our business. It’s gonna be a show and I’m gonna step on him.”
Plant (23-2, 14 KOs) then had a warning for his opponent on May 31: “This is his big moment and I know he’s coming with everything he’s got. But there are levels to this, and I’m gonna show him that. I’m gonna handle him and go from there. Whatever he’s got planned, best of luck, because he’s gonna need it.
“I’ve always been hungry and I’ve always been driven. I’m a competitor and I’m a winner in life. Regardless of the money or fame, I don’t care about stuff like that. I care about getting my hand raised and seeing how many titles I can rack up. I wanna show my kids what hard work looks like.”
Super Middleweight Division and the Future
Looking at where he sees himself in the super middleweight division and who he wants to face in the future: “I feel like I am the man in the division. Obviously Canelo is still active and I have a lot of respect for him, but I still feel like I’m the best super middleweight in the world. That’s just my mentality. May 31 I take another step toward proving that.
“Depending who gets their hand raised in the co-main event, I can get it cracking with either one. I’m not hard to find and I’m not hard to make a fight with. A lot of fighters make the mistake of looking past their opponent and they end up not even winning the fight in front of them. I won’t make the same mistake.
“I’m not gonna expand on the sparring we had. He remembers and he knows what happened,” added Plant.
