Armando Resendiz appears ready to give Jaime Munguia the same treatment he gave Caleb Plant, last time he felt like the underdog, and ready to scrap against the favored and bigger-name boxer.<\/p>\n
Resendiz and Munguia trade blows in an all-Mexican shootout May 2 on the undercard of David Benavidez\u2019s challenge for Gilberto \u2018Zurdo\u2019 Ramirez\u2019s unified cruiserweight championship titles at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, atop a Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view on Prime Video.<\/p>\n
Though Munguia is established at super middleweight, with big bouts against Sergiy Derevyanchenko, John Ryder, and Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez on his resume, Resendiz feels his giant-killing experience over Caleb Plant will serve him well, heading into this fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to stay focused until the final bell and give my absolute best,\u201d he said, in a statement sent to Boxing Social. <\/p>\n
\u201cMunguia says his experience will be the difference, but Plant was more experienced than me too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2014 Armando Resendiz<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had faced bigger names, but I\u2019m a fighter who keeps getting better and better\u2014there are no limits. That\u2019s what I want to show people on May 2.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve studied him quite a bit. I\u2019ve been watching him since I was starting my climb as a professional. He\u2019s a\u00a0gritty Mexican boxer with a wealth of experience. Being in this position is a huge motivation and a great responsibility. I\u2019m eager to prove that I\u2019m built for great things and I believe that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019ll do.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cI enjoyed every stage, every moment, every training session, and every pre-fight interview in the run-up to the Plant fight. I was focused on doing everything with my full enthusiasm and that ultimately showed in the final product.<\/p>\n
\u201cOvercoming adversity defines me as a warrior. A fighter who doesn\u2019t give up so easily. Faith has been something that\u2019s kept me standing and moving forward, believing that good things will come.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tend to stay focused in the present, but I like to watch my past fights and see how I\u2019ve progressed over the years. I watch my fights and say, \u2018I know what I was thinking at that moment, but maybe it wasn\u2019t the right thing.\u2019 It inspires me to keep improving and learning new things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Armando Resendiz appears ready to give Jaime Munguia the same treatment he gave Caleb Plant, last time he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":624745,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-624744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624744"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624744\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
