Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez has turn out to be a pound-for-pound contender lately, and he already has a struggle set for November 22, which might see him face Fernando Martinez, probably for 3 of the 4 main world titles at tremendous flyweight.
However first, Rodriguez should undergo Phumelela Cafu on July 19, and Cafu sounds none too completely happy that he’s seemingly being appeared previous, promising to wreck Rodriguez’s path to undisputed glory.
“Bam, I’m fucking coming in your head, bro. All of it ends on the nineteenth,” Cafu mentioned at a exercise. “And the brand new unified tremendous flyweight champion of the world! I’m ‘The Fact,’ child, and I’m going to show it to you all. Let’s fucking get it!”
South Africa’s Cafu (11-0-3, 8 KO) holds the WBO title, which he gained from Kosei Tanaka in an upset on the highway in Japan final October, nicking a break up determination, and proving he can hold with the highest fighters within the 115 lb division.
The 25-year-old Rodriguez (21-0, 14 KO) has been off about the identical period of time, final combating in November, when he took care of Pedro Guevara within three rounds, lower than 5 months after he stopped longtime high star Juan Francisco Estrada in seven.
Rodriguez actually broke by in early 2022 when he confronted Carlos Cuadras and gained the vacant WBO 115 lb title, after which he made two defenses, then moved right down to flyweight to win the WBO and IBF titles in that division, previous to his transfer again as much as 115 to face Estrada.
The American might be a heavy favourite towards Cafu, however Cafu positively is on the stage that he can’t be actually ignored, and if Rodriguez makes that mistake, he might discover his November date with Martinez, who holds the WBA title, going to the South African as a substitute.
