Bam landed almost 50 percent of his punches (171/345) by fixing Cafu on the corners of the ring while the punches disappeared as much as he could. Rodriguez landed 35.7 percent of his total punch (218/610), still the most effective boxer of the sport with a total connection percentage of 39.5 percent (Combox). Being against the tastes of Sunny Edwards, Juan Francisco Estrada, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai and Carlos Cuadras. It has been fantastic against the top -notch competition.

BAM’s pre -established struggle with WBA champion and IBF champion Fernando “Puma”, Martinez was officially announced on Friday, July 11 in New York at the Ring IV press conference. He led many to believe that Bam was overlooked the Cafu. Neither Jesse nor coach Robert Garcia attended the press and stated that he was completely focused on Cafu.

The indisputable clash between BAM and Puma is scheduled for November 22 in Riad, Saudi Arabia. At the post-lluite press conference, Eddie Hearn said that the puma struggle was the second option: “Turki has a way to move very quickly. When he offered us the struggle with Nakatani at the beginning, he said, in fact, he said that he wanted to know that night. Not three to four days. Unfortunately, it means we got to make the call to Robert. You know that Robert is in the camp with two weeks.

Rodriguez has many options and is not afraid to fight the best. He is willing to assume the largest name of the sport. Hearn added that there could be a mega potential struggle in San Antonio, Texas, in the near future. One of the main centers for this camp with Cafu was to improve defensively. He beat Cafu in each round, making him lose and counteract it effectively.

The ex -WBO champion had 11 wins, with 8 of them to eliminate. It seems that his goal is to become a super -Flyweight champion, and possibly dealing with the possible winner of the rumor struggle between Nakatani and Naoya Inoue. So great that it is offensively, improving defense will make it much better, and these improvements will allow him to better fight these future opponents. Jesse is only 25 years old and has still reached all its potential. It can really be one of the greats of all the sport.
