Charlo and Plant will share the spotlight on the same fight night — each matched against intriguing opponents. While Jermall faces a durable, in-form challenger who might get tangled in the American’s slick game, Caleb Plant is paired with someone almost guaranteed to deliver fireworks.

Jose Resendiz is a spirited young Mexican — an aggressive, power-driven pressure fighter who cuts angles well on the inside and attacks in waves. He brings a rugged, crowd-pleasing style.

That plays well against Plant, who is less active but far more precise and technical. And when he gets clipped or provoked — as he did even against Benavidez — Plant isn’t afraid to bite down, trade shots, or even put on a show for the crowd.

At 32, Plant is no veteran — but he’s seen nearly everything the pro ranks have to offer. He shared the ring with Canelo Alvarez, though he didn’t show his best in that fight. He traded blows with David Benavidez, knocked out Anthony Dirrell, outboxed Jose Uzcategui, and delivered entertaining performances — including against Caleb Truax and Mike Lee.

Youth is a plus for Resendiz, but he’s never faced opposition on that level. His most notable opponents? Jarrett Hurd, who was well past his prime, and Elijah Garcia, a solid talent who stopped Resendiz in 2023.

This will be a true clash of boxing philosophies.

In his win over Hurd, Resendiz averaged 70–90 punches per round, including 111 punches in round nine, landing 43 of them. He thrives on volume and pace.

Plant, by comparison, works at a more composed rhythm — even his most action-packed fight, against MacCambo, felt measured. His most active round? Also round nine — he threw 65 punches and scored a stoppage. But what sets him apart is efficiency: he landed 40 of those 65 shots. For Caleb, it’s all about quality over quantity.

Resendiz returned to the ring in 2025, following a layoff since his 2023 stoppage loss.

Plant’s schedule isn’t much busier — since 2020, he’s fought only once per year, with the exception of 2021, when he beat Truax and lost to Canelo.

Resendiz relies almost entirely on power, and his stoppage rate reflects that — 73%, compared to Plant’s 60%.

But context matters.

Plant fights a much higher level of opposition — and he can crack. His one-punch KO of Dirrell was brutal and clean. With his timing and accuracy, Caleb can hurt almost anyone, even if he doesn't chase knockouts.

Neither man is particularly known for granite-chin resilience — but both can take a shot. They've been rocked, and both have suffered stoppage losses.

Importantly, both are prone to brawling at times. Plant does it less often, but even he can’t resist getting drawn into firefights — especially when the moment or opponent calls for it.

Which means: expect heavy exchanges and possibly a knockdown or two.

This will be Resendiz’s second fight in Las Vegas — the first ended in a stoppage loss to Elijah Garcia.

For Plant, it’s his eighth fight in Vegas, and third in a row. He lives and trains in the area — this is essentially a home game for Caleb.

Charlo and Plant sharing the card isn’t random. There’s long-standing bad blood between the two — and Plant once even punched Jermall backstage.

This event is being framed as a precursor to their eventual clash.

But first, both men need to get past tough, determined opponents. While Resendiz likely won’t earn a Charlo bout with a win, beating Plant — and joining Canelo and Benavidez as the only men to do so — would be a huge statement and elevate him into world-class conversation.

The stakes are high. And the action? Almost guaranteed.
