Armando Resendiz says Munguia’s edge means little
“Munguia says his experience will make a difference, but Plant was also more experienced than me,” Resendiz said from training camp with Manny Robles. “I have faced bigger names, but I am a fighter who is getting better and better. There are no limits. That’s what I want to show people on May 2.”
This may be the clearest sign yet of how Resendiz views this fight. He doesn’t step in as a champion with the hopes of protecting the belt. He sounds like a man who believes Plant’s victory is just the beginning.
Resendiz also made it clear that Munguia is not being overlooked, saying he has followed the former titleholder for years and respects what he brings.
“I studied him for a long time. I’ve been watching him since I started climbing as a professional. He’s a tough Mexican boxer with a lot of experience.”
The danger for Munguia is that Resendiz will arrive with the confidence built after a career-changing victory, while also believing he still has a lot of room for improvement. Fighters with this attitude can be complex to beat after the first few rounds.
Although Munguia has been in the spotlight for over a decade, the miles on the clock may be catching up with him, especially after the rocky stretch he’s been through recently.
The loss to Bruno Surace in December 2024 was a huge wake-up call that exposed some major holes in the defense.
Although Munguia avenged that loss in May 2025 via unanimous decision in Riyad, the fact that he was stopped by a relatively unknown opponent suggests that his “wealth of experience” didn’t necessarily make him harder to hit.
Munguia turned professional in 2013 at the age of just 16. Having fought 47 professional fights at the age of 29 is quite a physical challenge, especially considering his “challenging” style, which often involves taking two shots to make one.
Armando Resendiz is the complete opposite of the aged 29-year-old. He has traveled significantly less miles and is having the best performance of his life in a match against Caleb Plant.
Resendiz has had only 18 professional fights. He hasn’t experienced the ten-plus years of grueling camps that Munguia has.
Resendiz meets Munguia on May 2 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as part of the David Benavidez vs. undercard. Gilberto Ramirez.
“Because before this fight, I would love to fight George Kambosos,” Vargas told Sean Zittel when discussing potential opponents after the Mills fight.
Emiliano stressed that his focus remains on Mills, but made it clear that he believes he is getting closer to the title.
“I’m going to show the world that I’m ready to fight for the title,” Vargas said.
The son of former two-time world champion Fernando Vargas believes that a good performance on the Jaron Ennis-Xander Zayas card can give him significant progress in the competition.
“After this fight, I would love to have a title eliminator or former world champion,” Emiliano said. “I’m second in the WBO rankings, 12th in the WBC. I’m there and I’m knocking on that door.”
Vargas comes into the fight off a win over Agustin Quintana in February. While this performance sparked debate among some fans, Emiliano considers the innings he saved as valuable experience in continuing to develop his game.
The undefeated fighter claims that during the last camps he expanded his training team and worked intensively on movement, angles and fighting under pressure. He also recently spent time in David Benavidez’s camp, drawing inspiration from the former world champion’s work ethic and aggressive style.
If Emiliano beats Mills on Saturday, attention will quickly turn to who will be next. From his comments, Kambosos is at the top of the list.
Kambosos, a former unified lightweight champion, would represent the most recognizable name of Vargas’ career and potentially take him one step closer to the title eliminator he thinks he wants next.

Devin Haney says Gervonta Davis’ team has made contact and declines to discuss the hydration clause
Devin Haney says that after years of calls for a fight, a fight with Gervonta Davis may finally be closer to reality.
Haney revealed on social media that Tank Davis’ team recently reached out about a potential fight. When the fan responded by warning him not to agree to any hydration restrictions, Haney quickly dismissed the idea.
“Never,” Haney repeated X about not wanting to agree to the rehydration clause.
The response came shortly after Haney suggested that discussions had begun between the two sides.
“I think Gervonta has gained some balls. His team has reached! We can just fight! 😅– Haney wrote.
The fight between Haney and Gervonta is one of the longest unanswered questions in boxing. Haney continued to fight multiple times during his lightweight title fight, but the fight never materialized despite years of public calls and fan demands.
San Francisco-born Haney became the undisputed lightweight champion in 2022, and Davis continued to build his profile as one of boxing’s biggest pay-per-view attractions.
Haney’s rejection of rehydration clauses will likely become a talking point if negotiations move forward. Hydration restrictions became a major topic of debate ahead of Tank’s 2023 fight with Ryan Garcia, with many fans criticizing the terms of the deal.
Devin has recently been linked to potential fights against Ryan Garcia, Shakur Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis. His latest comments put Gervonta Davis back into the conversation after years of failed attempts to make the fight happen.
