Say what you want , but Rodriguez is lucky that Gonzalez wasn’t a harder puncher. I think Rodriguez was also spent in the last two rounds and was really hurt by the end of 11th round. I think all the body work Gonzalez did on him in the early rounds wore him out by the end of the fight. I saw the punch stats dazn posted, and no way Gonzalez landed only 125 punches, it was more than that. Gonzalez landed a lot of hard punches, both to the body and head. I do think bam bam clearly won the fight, but it was a hard fought win. Gonzalez hit Rodriguez pretty much at will, a little more power on his punches, and I honestly think we would be talking of an upset. I don’t think Jesse Rodriguez will have a long career at the top, he gets hit way to much and he doesn’t punch that hard himself. First hard puncher that can take his punches like tonight, will knock him out. He is really fun to watch but he doesn’t have a good defence. I think it was smart of him to have dropped down in weight, because El Gallo and Chocolatito will knock him out. I think he got both Cuadras and Sor Rungvisai at the right time.
And it pisses me off how much praise from the commentators and never really acknowledging most of Gonzalez work. Saying he was there only to survive. I think he put on a great fight.
They suck, specially Chris Mannix.
I’m also glad the gave the fight to Tapales. It was a close fight but he clearly won the fight. I always seen Akhmadaliev as a grossly overrated fighter, he hits hard but nothing more. I saw his fight with Danny Roman, and I thought he lost that fight.

The way you feel about bam is how I felt about fundora. A different style fighter, but unless you have Tommy Hearns type power, you are probably not going to take punches well as you move up to heavier punchers. Too slow, uncoordinated, and aggressive.

Bam Rodriguez made excuses for how he fought in his last fight. Now he says he fought with a broken jaw since the 6th round. I didn’t see a swollen jaw until the last couple rounds. Will see what will be the excuse this time. I think now we are seeing the real level of fighter he is.

I grew up watching guys like Chiquita Gonzalez, Michael Carbajal, Danny Romero, Mark Johnson, and Johnny Tapia. Now we have crap networks like DAZN touting guys like Bam Rodriguez as an A-side. I feel so cheated in 2023.

Andy Cruz is the real star of the Olympics. He beat Davis 4 times. 4-0. The reason why Cruz is not fighting, is because Cuba is a slave state. And the Delaware Money Laundering Rapist Coward refuses to help the US in stopping Cuba from enslaving their citizens. If Cruz was not a slave, Cruz would destroy Davis.
Davis is a bigger fuzazi than Jared Anderson is. I am not impressed. Davis will not win a world title. He will lose to guys who lose title shots.
Davis is nothing more than SOFT FEED for a top 15 guy.

Rodriguez went down in weight, because he is too much of a coward to face top guys. He has one win over a depreciated former good fighter but that is it. If he was matched strong, he would likely lose. That is why he went down in weight. Real warriors face top guys. Not bully their way into easy matches. Bam will get slammed once he matches tough.

Sick of the David Diamante shtick. Makes Bruce Buffer blush.
