The WBO Championship Committee has ordered the camps of Jessie “Bam” Rodriguez and Cristian Gonzalez to begin negotiations to fight for the vacant WBO flyweight title. If no deal is reached by November 14, a purse bid will be ordered. The minimum acceptable bid is $80,000. The belt was formerly held by Junto Nakatani, who moved up a weight division.
Rivera – Martin is an excellent fight!
I think La Zarza is gonna be in trouble
Yeah, I think so too Burucho.
Yes it is. I think both fighters will be making some noise in their divisions in the not too far future, so this fight will be appreciated more in retrospect. Once Rivera adds a bit more snap to his shots, he’ll take off like s rocket.
Good to see 2 young undefeated fighters taking the challenge and putting their 0’s on the line. I think the Ghost is going to flattened Ali La Zarza though
