Jesse Rodriguez vs. Srisaket Sor Rungvisai | DAZN - June 25, 2022

[margaret thatcher]

bam also holding a bit early

[gregregegg]

Rung needs to mix his power a bit I think. Can’t change what you do, but if he had a few softer harder shots to set up the bombs it would help I think.

[margaret thatcher]

oooh.....bam a bit stung at the end of the round?

bam ahead for sure but sor's landing some solid body shots, could get interesting later

[margaret thatcher]

good fight, bam still sharper but sor's strength is having him a bit flustered at time. sor digging to the body

[gregregegg]

Rung hasn’t won a round yet. And most of them aren’t close. Class by bam, rung needs to hurt him soon to have a chance.

[margaret thatcher]

bam's winning but he's holding more and more . 2nd half could be interesting if sor keeps coming with the body shots and bam still cant hurt him

[gregregegg]

That round was a beating. Bam might just be special. Another good potential inoue opponent.

[margaret thatcher]

wow big round bam! drops sor with an off balance kd, then pounds him the rest of the round. sor not even bothering to block, good chin on him

[margaret thatcher]

wow, bam stops him with a big flurry as sor continutes to eat punches! bam just got stronger in those last two rounds

[margaret thatcher]

bam vs chocolate??

[gregregegg]

I’m a big fan of this kid after that. Hope they just let him go nuts.

Choc next, Estrada after that, if he pulls it off then hall of fame resume by 23….

[margaret thatcher]

some ppl in stream chat were ragging on sor, saying it was the b version, but tbf i thought he looked up for it. was putting in a good body attack most fight and had bam holding regularly. but bam gritted it out and just became stronger when i thought the 2nd half might become harder for him. then turned it up at the exact right time and put a pasting on him

get this stud vs little chocolate

[margaret thatcher]

that chin on sor too, dude is too tough for his own good. maybe if his chin werent so tough he wouldnt volunteer it for eating punch duty like that

[gregregegg]

They could drop back and fight Martinez, try get the 112 belt. Fun fight, in house, fan friendly. Step back in weight and class but I can’t Blaim someone for getting the 112 while he can. You never know how far you will go, and it’s always nice to be able to say “2/3/4/5weight world champ” ect, so ducking back to pick the 112 up is fine…

But the big fights are 115 and he will be growing I don’t wanna see him waste much time moving out of a great division for a shit one. Choc and Estrada are rare world class elite guys right in his weight range.

[margaret thatcher]

martinez can't even make 115 these days

[gregregegg]

martinez can't even make 115 these days

Didnt make it, but who knows if he just misjudged the new weight or what. but yea, i guess if they were going to fight it would make more sense at 115. But there would be no upside for Bam at 115.

If martinez says he can do it at 112, then its an option there. otherwise stay 115.

[margaret thatcher]

well bam's on this run at 115 i'd like him to get fighting the big bois there, not move down to fight a guy lacking momentum who hasnt made weight in his last 2 fights

wouldnt be surprised if jcm moves up tbh, not making 115 and then pulling out ill at 112 are bad signs. facing bam while being weight drained is basically resigning himself to taking a beating

Obviosly the better option and if he beats choc and estrada he wont need gimmics to be a big deal.. Im just saying, id understand picking up that 112 belt befor continuing fowards. Exactly like inoue actualy... its not a terrible miss, its just inoue is a 3 weight champ, when he could be a 4 weight champ... just little marketing credentials for the future missed.

Rodriguez is damn good. He performed like a textbook boxer-puncher, bombed Sor Rungvisai from different angles, avoided his haymakers and managed to hurt him badly. Jesse belongs to the elite of the division, he must face someone out of it next.

[Ruthless-RKO]

bam vs chocolate??

Mike C reckons he beats both Choco and Estrada.

Boy is 22 years old.

He’s a very learned boxer.

[margaret thatcher]

could well, but they'd both be much tougher challenged despite sor having wins over both. would love to see those, especially chocolatitio

[DrDuke]

The Choco and Estrada matchups are excellent. Unpredictable fights at the highest level. Must be made asap.
