  • Caleb Plant defends his WBA interim title against Armando Resendiz Saturday night
  • “Sweethands” enters as a massive -2500 favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook
  • Read below for Plant vs Resendiz prediction, odds, props and start time

Former IBF super middleweight champion Caleb “Sweethands” Plant puts his WBA interim title on the line against Mexican power puncher Jose Armando Resendiz in the main event at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas on May 31st.

The 32-year-old Plant looks to stay on his “Revenge Tour” following losses to elite competition, while the 26-year-old Resendiz seeks the biggest upset of his career. The bout headlines a Premier Boxing Champions card streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, with the main card beginning at 8 p.m. ET. The current Plant vs Resendiz odds show the former world champion as an overwhelming favorite to defend his interim belt.

We’ve broken down the Plant vs Resendiz prediction, along with the best props and how you can stream Saturday’s title fight.

Plant vs Resendiz Prediction

While Resendiz brings youth and knockout power to the table, Plant’s superior boxing IQ and championship experience should be the difference maker. The former IBF titlist has only lost to the absolute elite – suffering a late stoppage against Canelo Alvarez and dropping a decision to David Benavidez.

Plant will likely establish his jab early and use his five-inch reach advantage to control distance. Resendiz showed defensive vulnerabilities when he was stopped by Elijah Garcia following his career-best win over Jarrett Hurd. Expect Plant to exploit those openings as the fight progresses.

The champion rebounded nicely from adversity in his last outing, getting off the canvas to stop Trevor McCumby in nine rounds. That finishing instinct, combined with his technical superiority, points to another late stoppage. Look for Plant to break down Resendiz methodically before forcing a stoppage in the championship rounds.

Plant vs Resendiz Pick:

  • Plant by KO/TKO (-210)
  • Plant to Win in Rounds 7-12 (+175)

Plant vs Resendiz Odds

FighterOdds
Caleb Plant-2500
Jose Armando Resendiz+1100

The Plant vs Resendiz odds at DraftKings tell a story of a massive mismatch. Plant’s -2500 moneyline gives him a staggering 96% implied probability of victory, meaning the oddsmakers see virtually no path for a Resendiz upset. To put this in perspective, you’d need to wager $2,500 on Plant just to profit $100 – that’s how confident the books are in “Sweethands” getting his hand raised.

Meanwhile, Resendiz at +1100 offers lottery ticket value for risk-takers. A $100 bet on the Mexican underdog would return $1,100 in profit if he pulls off what would be one of 2025’s biggest upsets. The 4% implied probability suggests the books view this outcome as highly unlikely, but stranger things have happened in boxing.

These odds represent one of the widest spreads on any major boxing card this year, reflecting the perceived gulf in class between a former world champion and a fringe contender stepping up significantly in competition.

Plant vs Resendiz Props

The prop betting market offers far more value than the lopsided moneyline. Here are the key Plant vs Resendiz props available at DraftKings:

PropOdds
Total Rounds
Over 9.5 Rounds-125
Under 9.5 Rounds-110
Method of Victory
Plant by KO/TKO/DQ-210
Plant by Decision+180
Resendiz by KO/TKO/DQ+1600
Resendiz by Decision+3000
Exact Method
Plant by TKO-115
Plant by KO+275
Plant by Unanimous Decision+275
Round Props
Plant to Win in Round 7+900
Plant to Win in Round 8+800
Plant to Win in Round 9+800

The oddsmakers clearly expect Plant to win inside the distance, with his KO/TKO prop at -210 compared to +180 for a decision victory. This aligns with Plant’s recent finishing touch – he’s stopped two of his last three opponents, including that dramatic knockout of Anthony Dirrell that went viral.

The sweet spot for value appears to be Plant by TKO at -115. Given Resendiz’s tendency to wilt under sustained pressure (as shown against Elijah Garcia), Plant’s methodical breakdown style could force a corner stoppage or referee intervention rather than a one-punch knockout.

For those seeking bigger payouts, the round props in the 7-10 range offer intriguing value. Plant has shown patience in recent fights, wearing down opponents before closing the show. A $100 wager on Plant winning in Round 8 (+800) would return $800 in profit – not bad for predicting the exact round.

The over 9.5 rounds at -125 might appeal to conservative bettors who expect Plant to carry Resendiz into the championship rounds before securing the stoppage. However, given Resendiz’s defensive liabilities and Plant’s improved finishing ability, the under 9.5 at -110 presents the better value.
