Comments Thread For: Unifications and family revenge at the top of the 'Bam' Rodriguez wishlist

[BoxingUpdates]

Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez defended his WBC junior bantamweight title with a third-round stoppage of Pedro Guevara last night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Now, the 24-year-old champ is looking to unify the division - or, if those opportunities don't come - he may consider moving up in weight.

Look at bam's last 5 opponents, Cuadras 34 and washed coming of a loss and 2 years of inactivity. Rungvisai 35 and washed coming from 16 month inactivity. Edwards pillow fisted loud mouth. Estrada 34 and coming from 2 years of inactivity. Guevara 35 and 108 pounder. And chocolatito is about to turn 38. So it's easy for bam to out maneuver and out power them. I would love if bam fights a young guy like Junto Nakatani.

You are a hater and I´m sure your favorite fighters have fought bums. Bam is only 24 and those he defeated were still solid fighters, you are disrespecting them and look stup1d at it. Your envy on Mexican boxers sounds dumb and racist. If Bam beats a young fighter like him, the excuses will skyrocket "too young", " inexperienced", "no power", wtc. Get a life, bum.

Wonder if he would be saying this if it was Nakatani that beat them. They might be aged fighters but physically Cuadras, Rungvisai and Estrada would still compete at the top level and their skills should be above the average champion at Super Flyweight.

These fighters certainly beat the opponents Nakatani had beaten so far at 115-118.

We'd ALL love to see Bam go up to fight Nakatani.

One can argue nearly anything with words but it seems some ppl still dksa either the most recent crop of Super Fly legends, or taking every opportunity to build a fighter into a star smh.

Young lion vs Legend fights are generally (for different reasons) a blessing to each fighter & to us, the audience. Did you not see Gallo knock Bam down, or douchebag Nery knock down Inoue?

I ain't a hater I just want to see bam against junto. Which I'm sure you do too. And how are they solid fighters they were all inactive and old. Fight junto nakatani who is young and very powerful. Bam vacated his wbc belt to avoid junto. You think junto is too young for bam haha. Junto will end that hypejob. That's why he keeps ducking him. Ducked him at both 112 and 115. Just watch bam won't move up to 118 until junto leaves. And I know you are scared of bam fighting junto that's why you don't want the fight to happen.

And why the fuçk would I envy Mexican boxers lol they are the easiest, that's why I want junto to expose him. So SHUT THE FUÇK UP BUM A$$ Mexican STREET FOOL.

I would be saying that as Estrada ducked both nakatani and ioka.

Bam is young, strong, fast, deadly, accomplished and polite. He is a pleasure to watch. What is there not to like?

Nakatani didn't even last year at 115 and wasn't even Estrada's mandatory as he was the WBC champion.

Nakatani went for the WBO route beating Cortes and Moloney, then the actual champion at those rankings Kazuto Ioka vacated the belt in 2023 to retain his WBA belt he controversially won against Joshua Franco in a rematch after getting a gift draw, making Nakatani vs Moloney a WBO title bout, which he didn't even defend after.

The same Kazuto Ioka your mentioning had lost to lesser fighters in Amnat Ruenroeng and a diminished Donnie Nietes after four years in the rematch. Difficult to think any elite fighters was going their way to avoid him, he just doesn't offer a lucrative fight.

Except nakatani wanted to unify with Estrada who ducked so disappointed junto left for 118. Ioka said he had unification agreed with Estrada but at the last seconds he backed out.
