Juan Francisco “Gallo” Estrada (44-3, 28 KOs) will defend his WBC super flyweight title against Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez (19-0, 12 KOs) at Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday June 29, live worldwide on DAZN. Estrada, 33, steps back through the ropes to defend the title for the first time after beating old foe Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez in December 2022. Bam, 24, returns after dismantling Sunny Edwards in a flyweight unification in December 2023.
Juan Francisco Estrada: “After my last victory against Chocolatito we took a good break and was able to spend quality time with my family and my kids and heal an injury I was dealing with. I will be more than ready since I know Rodriguez is a dangerous fighter, but in June it will be clear that there’s is plenty of ‘Gallo’ excitement to come.”
Jesse Rodriguez: “Fighting for my fourth world title against a legend like ‘Gallo’ is huge. This is a fight I’ve been wanting for a while and I’m ready to prove myself once again. On June 29, you guys will see another special performance. And the new!”
Super fight
This is a big one! I can’t help but wanna pull for Gallo.
Yea me too I’m gona pick Estrada
Good, Estrada doing what Canelo refuses to do which is to Fight the younger fresher bigger stronger guy in his weight division . Thanks. Good fight!
This one has FOY written all over. Bam Rodriguez is my favorite this time, with a lot of respect for Estrada
WOW!!!! Bam is on an epic roll!!! This is the stuff of legends!!
If he beats Estrada, after Cuadras and SSR, Bam’s beaten three of the four original ‘superflys’ at just 24-25. That’s ridiculous!
And supposedly he’s good friends with and wouldn’t fight the fourth, Chocolatito.
This is an interesting fight, I am routing for Bam
