Juan Francisco “Gallo” Estrada and Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez faced off at the launch press conference for their WBC super flyweight title on June 29 at Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona, live worldwide on DAZN.

Juan Francisco Estrada: “I think Bam is a good fighter but you do have to say that. But I think if you look at his best victories like Cuadras, Rungvisai, then those guys were on the way out. The only good victory that he’s had was the Sunny Edwards fight, which I was present for. Obviously that was at a lower weight and we’ll have to see what he’s like up here fighting against me at this higher weight class because I think that will be the difference on the night. Let’s see what happens on June 29 because I also come into this with a winning mentality and the mentality of winning this fight convincingly. If it is by KO, then even better.”

Jesse Rodriguez: When it’s just me and him in the ring, I’m going to take what he has. I’m a different breed and I’m a different animal. Come June 29 the whole world is going to see that. I’ve proved people wrong, time after time. I’m just here to prove people wrong…people didn’t think I could stop Sunny [Edwards]. I’m pretty sure they don’t expect me to stop Estrada. But I believe in myself that I can do it and my team believes it. It’s a very hard task to do but it is possible because nothing is impossible. So, come June 29 I feel like I am going to shock the world.
