RISING star Jesse Rodriguez is a big favourite to retain his WBC super-flyweight title in Philadelphia on Saturday night when he takes on Pedro Guevara.
But the reality is, the 35-year-old Mexican is a hugely experienced former world champion with more knockouts than Bam has even had fights. We take a look at the top three victories for both men.
JESSE RODRIGUEZ 3 BEST WINS
Vs Carlos Cuadras, February 5, 2022, Phoenix – UD 12
This was the fight that catapulted Bam towards superstardom. The 22-year-old was supposed to be facing Fernando Diaz at flyweight on this bill but when Srisaket Sor Rungvisai pulled out of the main event, Bam stepped in to fight for the 115lb world title. And, despite facing one of the leading super-flyweights of the generation, the youngster did the business, famously dropping Cuadras in round three en route to a wide unanimous decision. A star was well and truly born.
