Jesse Bam Rodríguez managed to defeat the third of the four best super flyweights of the this Golden Era. In 2022 he defeated Carlos Cuadras, then Srisaket Sor Rungvisai and now….Francisco “Gallo” Estrada.
With a KO during the seventh round, he re-conquered the WBC super flyweight crown that he vacated, with the intention of conquering the flyweight belt.
Rodriguez used speed, alternating combinations and an aggressive offensive to control Estrada.
Estrada fell to the canvas in the fourth as a result of a left upperper. In the sixth round, Gallo retaliated with a powerful right hand to fell Bam. The first time this happened in Jesse’s career.
Motivated after suffering that knock down, Jesse landed Estrada during the seventh with a powerful left hook to the liver from which he could not recover in time.This was the first defeat by KO for “Gallo” Estrada.
In this way, at 24 years old, Jesse Rodríguez improves his undefeated record to 20 fights won with 13 KO’s.
