Soaring Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez, The Kingpin of Super Flyweight

In record time, he’s conquered world titles in two divisions: flyweight and super flyweight. His aggressive yet technical skills, combined with excellent angle trajectory and precision, has made him a fan favorite and a prominent figure in American boxing.
