Caleba Plant coach, Stephen Edwards, says that the crowd of Pro-carando Restendiz played in Caleb, losing in the fight last Saturday evening at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. Edwards describes it as “Snowflance effect” With Resendiz (16-2, 11 KO), he gains energy and a rush from applause, which he received from fans, starting from the third round.
The plant loses the WBA momentary title
RESSENDIZ defeated Plant (23-3, 14 KO) a 12-Rund divided decision, capturing his momentary WBA title WBA Super Middle Wweight. The results amounted to 116-112 for RESENDIZ, 115-113 for the plant and 116-112 for Resendiz.
“Resendiz did not throw many blows early, because there are no reflexes that Caleb. Caleb was a bit overworking, winning in the early rounds,” said coach Stephen Edwards to The to The media After the defeat of Caleb Plant from Armando again on Saturday evening.
The hit, which RESENDIZ threw inside, disturbed the plant because it was hit with tough arrows on the side of the head. Unlike his previous fight with Trevor McCumbby, he could not exploit in brawling to reverse the situation when he started fighting outside.
“Then the child landed with his right hand when Caleb used the arms roller. I don’t teach caleb to my shoulder roller. [32]He was the world champion before he met me, “said Stephen. “You can’t limit it completely, but I don’t like your shoulder rolls because sometimes they hit you with my right hands.”
The right hand from RESENDZ to the head of the plant in the third seemed to take a lot of Caleb, leaving him nervous and unable to fight in a way that had one and two in the round. The plant could have been hurt from this shot more than people know.
“Snowflake Effect” of the crowd
“It changed the rush of fighting. The crowd, everyone enters it.” Every time after that he hit, his fans saw success, and then I knew that at that moment he was like snowball. “
Not only re -feeding the crowd’s noise gave problems with plants. It was a loss of plant trust and it seemed dissatisfied. He is a kind of warrior who needs a crowd on his side to fight the believer. When the fans turned against him last night, Caleb, who had mentally unraged.
“Caleb did not fall apart. He kept his own and landed a few good shots, but it was blood, the appearance of fatigue. When you are in such a fight, it was one thing after the other. It was the night of Resendiz,” said Edwards.
It is worrying how the plant looked so early in battle. After the fourth round he looked after the fourth round, and he wasn’t really tough to pressure through RESENDIZ. There was pressure, but it was not overwhelming, as opposed to how some warriors.
Shakur Stevenson has hit the brakes following reports that he is in preliminary talks to fight Devin Haney.
Both elite Americans have claims to pound-for-pound status, both boast undefeated records and are considered among the most defensively gifted operators of the contemporary era.
However, a weight class or two has always separated them, and Haney’s recent move to welterweight – a division Stevenson says he can get to but is in no rush – seemed to make that fight less likely.
To make that happen, Stevenson said he would like Haney to agree to a catchweight of 144 pounds, the same limit he reached when defeating Jose Ramirez in 2025.
Today, The Ring’s Mike Coppinger reported that discussions had already begun, but the weight was a sticking point, with Stevenson likely still insisting on the stipulation, but Haney was keen on staying at 147 pounds.
However, Stevenson has now responded to Coppinger’s claim by speaking further X that there was no contact between the teams.
“I know the fans like to get excited and can toy with you all and easily manipulate you, but this rumor is dead for the second time. I haven’t heard a word about it, [I don’t know] what are they? [trying to] hide or hide, but me and my team haven’t heard any nonsense.”
“I know the fans like to get excited and could play games with you all and easily manipulate you, but this rumor is dead for the second time,” Shakur said on X, reacting to reports of his negotiations with Devin Haney. “I haven’t heard a word about it, I don’t know what they’re trying to cover up or hide, but for me and my team, we haven’t heard any nonsense.”
The denial came shortly after reports spread that Haney and Stevenson were talking about fighting, with weight believed to be a major issue slowing progress. Stevenson’s response directly challenges this version of events and leaves the status of any talks unclear.
It also highlights how quickly boxing rumors can spread when they are linked to two recognizable names. Haney and Stevenson have been mentioned in fan discussions for years, making this matchup an basic target for speculation.
For Devin Haney, the math just doesn’t add up. Why take a technical masterclass against Shakur Stevenson where the risk of looking bad or losing points is high when a $20 million-plus payout against Ryan Garcia is already scheduled for September 5 at Allegiant Stadium?
Dispatching Shakur is a hard task for anyone. Shakur’s hit-and-don’t-get-hit philosophy makes him a nightmare for fighters who rely on timing and size.
If Devin loses a 12-round decision to Shakur, he will lose the WBO welterweight title and his advantage as champion.
Ryan Garcia predicted today that the fight will not happen, posting that neither man is likely to face the other.
“There’s no way Devin would fight Shakur or vice versa. I would bet everything on it,” Ryan said on the X show.
The clearest public statement at the moment is Stevenson’s, and it is blunt: no talks, no contact, no agreement.

David Benavidez believes one of the sport’s flagship champions is actively avoiding him, claiming there were “plenty of opportunities” for this fight to happen.
The WBC lithe heavyweight champion is widely regarded as a top 10 pound-for-pound operator capable of significantly enhancing his legacy over the next few years.
Regardless of the result this weekend, the 29-year-old said he will drop down to 175 pounds and enter an undisputed fight with Dmitry Bivol.
The unified lithe heavyweight champion is preparing to defend his titles against mandatory challenger Michael Eifert, who will headline the event at the UMMC Arena in Russia on May 30.
This is his first appearance since defeating Artur Beterbiev in a direct rematch, where Bivol took revenge by majority vote in February 2025.
If he wants to become a two-time undisputed king, the 35-year-old will eventually have to face Benavidez, who insists he defeated their sparring session about eight years ago.
By that time, both fighters had already played multiple rounds, and Benavidez had said Ariel Helwani that Bivol emerged from the last sparring session with significantly less confidence.
“They can say whatever they want… He felt my power up close and personal. I felt his power up close and personal too, but I overcame it. I won better in our last sparring session.”
“I won’t let it go to my head because I know I have to come extremely prepared, but that’s how I feel [sparring session] somehow it stuck in his head.
“We had a lot of opportunities to make this fight happen, but it didn’t happen, so I think that speaks for itself.”
Benavidez was promoted from “interim” to full WBC champion after Bivol vacated the belt last year, but that was mainly due to the Russian having to undergo back surgery.
