Caleba’s coach concerned about the distribution of facials against Armando Resendiz
Published

Caleba Plant coach, Stephen Edwards, is concerned about how his face broke up so quickly in his defeat from Armando Resndiz on Saturday evening. Edwards says that the way Plant’s face began to swell, played a role in his 12-round defeat of the decision with Resendiz (16-2, 11 KO) at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.
Down again again
The reason why the skin of the plant broke up so quickly was not related to age. This is because the Restendiz hit his shots that they had pulling effect Plant on the face. They were not uncomplicated blows, such as those with whom Caleb usually hit the fighting with David Benavidez, Trevor McCumbby and Anthony Dirrell.
These were shots that the RESENDIZ threw, which had a downward movement, which had a tearful, bruise on the face of the plant.
Stephen states that he wants to see the plant again (23-3, 14 KO) before he determined whether he should retire. Plant has lost its short-lived WBA title Super Middle Wweight to Resendiz through the results 116-112, 116-112 for Resendiz and 115-113 for the plant.
Caleb was to win this fight for the match Jermall Charlo, which would be a well -paid PPV clash.
Facial damage affected the loss of the plant
“The balls worried him a bit. His face was crashing very much. He just showed the wear of the fight,” said coach Stephen Edwards Sean ZitteLO Caleb Plant from Armando Resndiz last Saturday evening.
The plant should not fight the resandiz inside. It was a mistake because he again showed Jarrett Hurt, Fernando Parias and Elijah Garcia in his past fighting, that he is a nightmare. The recent Caleb’s performance against Trevor McCumba made him think he could fight the re -interior and dominate how he did it against this guy.
“His skin broke up a bit and I think it was one of the things that caused victory. He returned after the third round and had something petite on his nose. I was like:” damn, where did it come from? He was barely hit, “Edwards said about a plant that has nothing against his eyes.
The plant was hit with a shot from the re -descent, which fell down on the face and tears its skin. RESENDIZ would not be possible to escape from the fight if the plant remained outside. He thought again that he could fight again in the middle of this guy and paid a difficult price.
The reason why the plant was cut out in the third round is that it was supported on the ropes and took a gigantic left hand from the Resendiz. This hit hit with full strength and was unable to throw it with it because he was still.
The retirement of the plant has not yet decided
“You don’t want to hurry to the judgment of one night. I didn’t see anything wrong in his speed and reflexes, but it seemed that the blows had more influence on him,” said Edwards. “They [the punches] He had a great influence on him [Plant]. I think RESENDIZ is a decent guy, but I don’t look at him as if he had bricks in his hands. “
RESSENDIZ has no bricks in his hands, but it hits well inside. The plant gave it back. The plant is a good warrior, but he was never a great talent. Many years ago, when he defeated fighters such as Jose Uzcatelui, Caleb Trax and Mike Lee, he still didn’t look great. He defeated average fighters who are currently not comparing themselves to fighters at the highest level.
In our last fight we saw how the plant fought with the Lower McCumbby warrior. This guy is a pretender for the bangs and he is not as good as the 10th level of fighters. It is not such a plant that is above the hill. It is the same as always. Simply fighters are now better at the age of 168 than when he made a brand from 2018 to 2021.
“I want to see more caleb before I say that he should hang them. But I will say that the blows had a great impact on him than I thought so,” said Edwards. “I saw the Restendiz fought several times and I never perceived him as this huge, cruel blow. I just thought he was a mighty guy forward. He of course has weighty hands. He has 16 wins with 11 knockouts.”

The Shakur Stevenson vs. Devin Haney fight is in the works, but there is one major issue standing in the way

Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney are reportedly in talks for an all-American superfight.
Haney won titles in three weight classes and was undisputed at lightweight. Most recently he defeated Brian Norman Jr. for the WBO welterweight world title.
Both men have impressed in their recent wins and are widely considered two of the most technically elite fighters in the sport today. A fight between the two has been discussed for a long time, and The Ring’s Mike Coppinger reported that it could now become a reality if one key hurdle can be overcome – an agreed weight limit.

This problem is not effortless to solve and may prove too stern for negotiations to overcome. Haney said he felt best at welterweight and looked exhausted at super lightweight. Stevenson argues that his opponent faced Jose Ramirez at the 144-pound catchweight last year and could do the same again. While Haney handled the weight well and performed well on the night, there is no doubt he would have been at a disadvantage.
Stevenson, however, argued that he is still a natural lightweight – even though he looks comfortable against Lopez at 140 pounds – and that a meeting under the welterweight limit creates a more even playing field.
Time will tell whether this can be agreed behind the scenes. A significant amount could assist move things forward, but given their undefeated records, pound-for-pound status and position as the face of American boxing, both Stevenson and Haney will be cautious in making decisions.

David Benavidez says his speed will be too much for Ramirez
Published

David Benavidez doesn’t think size alone will decide his fight against Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez. Ahead of the cruiserweight title clash, Benavidez says the advantage will come down to speed, combinations and a style that he feels Ramirez hasn’t faced before.
Benavidez said Ramirez is a bigger man and is used to facing naturally bigger opponents in the cruiserweight division, but he doesn’t see it as a problem. He believes the slower pace typical of this weight will work to his advantage once the punches start falling.
Benavidez said Ramirez has never faced someone like him in an official fight. Although both have sparred in the past, Benavidez has made it clear that he sees a major difference between rounds in the gym and fighting him under the lights for twelve rounds.
“There are a lot of opportunities to hit him with a lot of combinations because he is slower,” Benavidez told Double3 Coverage. “My speed, my movement and my defense will be too much for him and I will surely overwhelm and drown him with pressure and volume.”
It’s compelling that he so casually disregards the size difference. While Zurdo Ramirez is a natural cruiserweight and holds the unified WBA/WBO titles, Benavidez is betting that speed and volume will be the universal equalizer.
Benavidez sounds like a man who thinks he’s found a flaw in the system. Moving up to cruiserweight, he believes his hand speed will be a blur compared to fighters in the 200-pound division. But here comes the fear of a massacre.
He already says this is “his era.” When a fighter begins to look beyond a unified champion like Ramirez toward a September coronation or a legacy-defining run, he usually leaves his chin exposed.
On the other hand, bookmakers do not predict a massacre, at least not in the case of Benavidez. There’s a reason he’s a -600 favorite. Most analysts believe he is just unique enough that his volume will break Zurdo’s rhythm before the size difference becomes a factor.

Shakur Stevenson responds to reports that he is in talks to face Devin Haney next

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.”
It’s unclear where Haney and Stevenson will go next Haney is reportedly considering a move to Zuffa Boxing and Stevenson are still deciding which division to compete in.
For now, it seems any excitement about their meeting on the ropes is premature.
