The two sides previously discussed the possibility of this clash, shortly after Resendiz, 16-2 (11 KOs) was able to advance in talks with former title challenger Edgar Berlanga, 23-2 (18 KOs). Somewhere along the way, it was decided that Munguia, 43-2 (35 KOs) would head in a different direction, though he was suddenly thin on next options. The former WBO 154lbs titlist and current top super middleweight contender already declined to move forward with a proposed vacant IBF title fight with Osleys Iglesias, 14-0 (13 KOs) at the time.
