When discussing Juan Francisco Estrada’s deliberate transfer to bantamweight, I discussed that together with his fellow titlists occupied, this was a possibility for WBC tremendous flyweight champion Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez to deal with his obligatory obligation. Seems that would be the case, as Jake Donovan reviews Mauricio Sulaiman confirms that Rodriguez is about to satisfy interim champion Pedro Guevara on a November ninth Jaron “Boots” Ennis present in Philadelphia.
Following a two-fight stint at 112 that noticed him beat Cristian Gonzalez for the vacant WBO title and batter IBF titlist Sunny Edwards eight months later, Rodriguez (20-0, 13 KO) returned to 115 to complete Estrada in violent vogue this previous June. Guevara (42-4-1, 22 KO) isn’t on “El Gallo’s” degree, however his credentials are as legit as they arrive; he’s a former champ at 108, hasn’t been dropped in over a decade or stopped ever, and edged out Andrew Moloney in hostile territory in Might.
The pair ought to make for an especially watchable battle whereas we anticipate unification alternatives to come up once more.
