Not solely is the fast-approaching combat between Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez and Juan Francisco Estrada an important match up and doubtlessly (in actual fact seemingly) an important combat, it’s additionally a private combat for the unbeaten Rodriguez. “Bam,” who will sq. off with Estrada for the WBC super-flyweight title in one of the anticipated fights of the 12 months, spoke with Struggle Hype, and the unbeaten 24 12 months outdated stated he has not had his due respect from Estrada, a rival who he says has “been discrediting my wins since like 2022.”
“Bam” says he goals to make Estrada pay on June 29 and in addition silence his remaining critics.
“Persons are nonetheless counting me out for some cause. They don’t consider I’m who I’m, particularly Estrada, he’s been discrediting my wins since like 2022 so this combat means lots to show him mistaken, show the boxing world mistaken, and to combat for one more title – all that mixed, I’m simply coming with the whole lot,” Rodriguez, 19-0(12) stated. “Yeah [it is personal], simply due to the issues he stated. I need to show him mistaken, show his staff mistaken. I’m lots more energizing. I’m solely 24 years outdated………he’s like perhaps ten years older than me so he’s been by way of a number of wars, in all probability has taken a toll on him however I’m anticipating one of the best Estrada. That’s what I’m getting ready for.”
If it’s the “finest” Estrada that exhibits up on combat night time – as within the warrior who punched out two thrilling wins over the good Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez – we may have some combat on the finish of the month. The Mexican champ is 34 now, nonetheless, and as Rodriguez says, Estrada, 44-3(28) and by no means stopped, has been in some actual wars. This combat could effectively come right down to how a lot Estrada has acquired left within the tank.
However Rodriguez needs one of the best fights, on a regular basis, and he’ll get loads of deserved reward if he can beat Estrada so as to add one other belt to his rising assortment. And if “Bam” can grow to be the primary man to cease Estrada, effectively, that might be some assertion.
The 2 males have sparred earlier than, with Rodriguez saying solely that the spar gave his confidence a “increase,” and they’re going to little doubt have studied loads of footage of each other. Each males will likely be in tip-top form for this one, and we followers can not wait.
Southpaw “Bam” is coming off that virtually punch-perfect stoppage win over Sunny Edwards from December, whereas Estrada has not boxed since getting his repeat win over Gonzalez again in December of 2022. Would possibly rust, together with a contact of unhealthy blood, or a perceived lack of respect, play an element within the end result of this one?
