Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez vs. Sunny Edwards | DAZN - 16 December 2023

[handsofstone]

I must admit I haven't even seen Rodriguez fight before , a quick look on tube of you and he looks mustard and I was surprised at how technically good he is too , he doesn't look easy to hit either , hope they don't cancel each other out style wise .

Aw mate Rodriguez is special, his fights with Cuadras and Rungvisai are worth a full watch, admits he's a big Lomachenko fan and its evident, I'd fancy Edwards to beat Martinez and Dalakian but Bam is the real deal, super impressed if Sunny pulls this off

as you know mate i love Bam, but i think Sunny's style is a perfect one to offset Bam's attributes.

Gonna be interesting for sure, a lot of people tipping Edwards here, a lot more than I thought would

I think he will despite Bam being a PED abuser.

You reck he's been on peds? I know Edwards alluded to it, don't know the back story

I do, If Conte's near you, you're PEDing.

It sickens me how some of the boxing world suck up to Conte, pudendum should be exiled from the sport

i don't think Edwards is (quite?) as good as Bam but I do think this is very close to 50-50 because styles. really interested to see how Bam cuts the ring off.

Deffo, and his PED developments have actually been quite shite. His THG testosterone made Dwain Chambers slower. His formal education stopped at 19, he did not complete college. Why anyone would listen to him is beyond me. He's a bloody bassist from a crap band. In essence he was the marketing person for a proper scientist called Patrick Arnold, who is the person who 'invented' methyltest, an absolute suicide-job of a PED, that they both knew was beyond dangerous.

Awful person and people.

Just read the BN preview. The argument against non punchers and the guaranteed distance fight could also be used for 99% of women's boxing yet they still bull that up yo high heaven.

Can see Edwards winning this one, potshotting off the back foot like a smaller and less spiteful Haney

What a night of combat sports for the English in America. Will be getting up for 3am, watch a bit of the UFC main card then switch over to this. Really hope Edwards manages it. Rodriguez will be a pound for pound great eventually and if Edwards wins tonight, he deserves to be in the rankings.

Hoping he and the other Edwards in UFC do the business tonight. Don't even mind that scouse bastard Paddy the Baddy winning tbh. Let's make it a clean sweep, the Americans have had it over us for too long, could be a great night in prospect

Sounds like a great one. Would be an upset if Paddy wins. Really like UFC Edwards, very humble family all round. I had a nanna nap earlier in an attempt to stay awake.

That’s a very good promo/Doc. I’m getting up for this one now, well not literally, I’m gonna watch it tomorrow, after the showtime 7am repeat and Josh fight, as out tonight.

Sunny is alright really… that accent of his, south London/Jamaican, is a new accent that didn’t exist 20 years ago, which is weird to think.

Bam I thought was destined to be an all-time great when I saw those two amazing break out fights, but maybe Sonny has his number? you never know.. but putting money on it, you gotta go with the Tex Mex.

this could go anywhere, first round knockout anyone? I think we’ll know where it goes quite early on ..

proper 50/50 for me, really looking forward to it. Have a good night out.

Sunny brutalised and stopped round 8

noooooooooooo

[cormack]

will be very very embaressing if he loses after all the nonsense antics this week .

[gregregegg]

IF sonny had any power I would expect him to box bams ears off. but he dosent, so bam can take 3 to land 1 and probably eventualy get to edwards and hurt him . Im thinking Bam will stop edwards 9th ish round. but i am not at all confedent in any part of that prediction.

[Twinkle Toes]

Bam appears to have taken quite a lot of his camp getting into shape which is never a good sign, where as sunny has been out and about during his camp.

Sunny maybe too confident in this one.

He’s a confidence fighter, if he wins this handy we could see him showboating by the end.

Ed: that is to say, confidence will only help him

My gut is saying Bam, too much pressure, as the Selecter used to sing.
