WBO flyweight champion Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez and IBF champion Sunny Edwards faced off at the final press conference ahead of Saturday’s unification battle at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, live worldwide on DAZN.
Jesse Rodriguez: “I said yesterday though that on social media he likes to talk but in person he doesn’t. If I didn’t want this fight, I wouldn’t be here. We wanted it and that’s why we’re here. I am going to do you like Julio Cesar Martinez did to your brother…my hand will be raised in victory, and I am taking his belt, his ‘0’ and it’s time…Bam Rodriguez, unified champion on Saturday night.”
Sunny Edwards: “The reason I laid off you was I know how hard it was to get you and your team to accept this fight. You didn’t want this fight. On Saturday night you are going to be like your brother, retired. You have no heart for this…everyone says ‘game plan, game plan, game plan’ but it all goes out of the window when you can’t lay a glove on me. Facts. I’m not worried about this kid.”
I have a feeling that Edwards is going to make Bam look amateurish.
I have a feeling that Bam is going to make Edwards look amateurish as soon as bam starts to lay the leather and land the bombs on Edwards. Bam is made for the pros and we will see bam bam win by 7th round Knockout.
Bam BAM is about to get schooled!!
A fight between too high skilled fighters, normally prevails the one with more power, even better if this fighter is in his primes a has a good chin, and Bam Rodriguez is all that. KOT in around 10
Bam better cut off the ring and go to the body early. Interesting match up of styles.
Articles are getting more limited. If this is an article on “Final Press Conference” I expect to read about the conference. The atmosphere, the turnout, how the fighters looked, their demeanor. I would like to see the fighter records, considering everybody is not aware how good these young champions are. Hope the author got all this from the internet and didnt get flown out to attend and write this.
Seems like a good matchup. DAZN got a nice rotation of exciting fighters to make interesting match-ups. Turning out to be a good subscription for consistent Boxing.
I think this fight is fascinating. I think they’re both stepping up in class here, and who’s got what it takes to go to the next level.
Something tells me Sunny can go next level.
Let’s see…
