It’s not that each fighter who trains underneath Robert Garcia is a superb expertise or is given the knowledgeable steerage, however Bam is one which Garcia has a particular curiosity in, and so they’ve focused Estrada for some time now. They’ve identified precisely what and who they wish to return to 115, and why.
So I’ve to agree with Garcia’s judgment. Rodriguez is simply too good for a complicated age Estrada, however I believe “Gallo” will make a battle of it, it gained’t be a full whuppin’ or a complete rout.

‘Bam’ Rodriguez would have you ever imagine he’s counted out on this battle towards Juan Francisco Estrada. This isn’t actually in keeping with actuality however typically high athletes simply must persuade themselves with a view to preserve that ‘chip on shoulder’ mentality. Tremendous by me. The actual fact is Bam is already considered a high 10 P4P expertise by many, myself included, and Estrada’s finest days are behind him after the numerous punishing fights he’s been in. I anticipate Rodriguez to deal with enterprise right here by clearly outpointing the older veteran, and whereas I wouldn’t be stunned if he compelled a stoppage I believe it’s extra doubtless that he takes a transparent unanimous determination when it’s all stated and carried out.

We don’t even must see the Argi Cortes model of Estrada on this battle for me to favor Bam. He’s already confirmed himself towards onerous hitting, confirmed veterans. And, top-of-the-line pound-for-pound tactical fighters on the planet proper now, too. My solely fear is that Bam has entered the Silly Tattoo part of his profession, and typically that’s a nasty omen. I’ll be daring, and choose the end. Rodriguez TKO-10

Underneath supreme circumstances, I’d give Estrada a really actual probability to halt Rodriguez in his tracks. Regardless of his beautiful footwork, “Bam” might be hit, which is a nasty descriptor to have towards the magnificent offense of “El Gallo.”
These are usually not supreme circumstances. Estrada has been out for 18 months, which is sort of the very same layoff that noticed him barely escape from Argi Cortes after his second battle with “Chocolatito” Gonzalez. His earlier shaky efficiency, his rematch with Carlos Cuadras, got here after a 14-month layoff. Rodriguez snowballs method too shortly to let Estrada shake off any rust, has the ability and firepower to carry his personal in a firefight, and is just too adept at reducing the ring for Estrada to play keep-away till he slips into gear.
I imagine 100% that Estrada nonetheless has a minimum of yet another legendary night time left in him. It simply gained’t be Saturday. The youthful, brisker Rodriguez takes it 8-4 or 9-3. Rodriguez UD-12
