Prospect Alert: Jose Armando “Toro” Resendiz (11-0)

Mexico has a long history of great fighters: Julio Cesar Chavez, Juan Manuel Marquez, Eric Morales, Ricardo Lopez, Canelo Alvarez, just to name a few, but  Nothing captures the boxing public imagination like a blood-and- guts warrior.  Chavez became a legend knocking out Meldrick Taylor in the last round, Marquez KO’d the great Manny Pacquiao, and the list goes on and on. 

It’s no wonder the rumor from Mexico that young Jose “Toro” Resendiz could join the list of beloved Mexican greats is exciting to boxing fans.  

Insiders are saying Resendiz will follow in the footsteps of Mexican icons by coming to America in order to conquer the boxing world.  Resendiz sports an impressive 71-2 amateur record, and is undefeated as a professional as he is 11-0 with eight knockouts. More importantly to boxing fans, Resendiz fights in the “Mexican” style, ensuring he will be a fan favorite upon arrival the United States.  

The 21 year-old Resendiz has a very bright future.  If his amateur pedigree, and early pro success is any indication, it will be exciting to watch him develop on PBC, ESPN, DAZN or whatever platform this blue chip prospect ends up landing.  

Resendiz is coming off a an 8th round stoppage over Joaquin Murrieta on January 25th, Murrieta had battled Mario Cazares to a disputed majority decision defeat. Cazares recently defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
