Unbeaten super flyweight Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez (14-0 10 KOs) will fight for his first world title as he steps up to take on Carlos Cuadras (39-4-1 27 KOs) for the vacant WBC 115lb title at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona on Saturday night live worldwide on DAZN. Cuadras’ original foe Srisaket Sor Rungvisai was forced out of the rematch with Cuadras over the weekend through a non-COVID-related illness, taken ill in the fight hotel having arrived in Arizona last Wednesday.

I think fights between the ‘superfly’ – Gonzalez, Estrada, SSR and Cuadras might be done. Rodriguez is undersized for the weight, but he’s a pretty good flyweight prospect, he comes from a really good background – he’s Joshua Franco’s little brother and I wouldn’t be surprised if he beat Cuadras.
Unfortunately, I agree with you. Sor Rungvisai must be devastated. He lost the one fight to Estrada and may never get another chance.
Well he did beat him the first fight. SSR and Estrada are sitting at 1-1, just like Estrada – Gonzalez.
Yes and now we have a dangerous new player in the mix. Rodriguez is a precise puncher who moves very well and has a real chance against Cuadras (as you noted). If he wins those same skills will make him the more difficult opponent for Sor R as well.
Damn I was really looking forward to the original fight!!
