Bam Rodriguez is special

[MulaKO]

Only 22 years old

That’s sick

This kid is amazing. I didn't think he would stop Rungvisai.

I did. I was pretty sure about it. Bam hits hard. And if you plod forward, he will be able to take angles on you. And if he does that, while hitting hard, I believed it was only only a matter of time before Ringvisai was stopped. I had predicted he'd stop him in that later portion of the fight, so the 8th round was a little earlier than I thought he would do it.

He really is. Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez is a must watch fighter!! Can't wait to see his next fight!!!

Thank you. I wanted to say exactly this as my last words until I see him the next time. His star should shine bright.

I was impressed with his movement and especially his ability to block punches straight up the middle and also on the sides of his head. He was almost impenetrable with his guard, while also throwing and landing a high volume of punches. That’s a very rare combination. Activity like Pacquiao, defense of Winky Wright?

[ShoulderRoll]

As long as he doesnt take a beating in a loss at 22 hell be fine with a loss if it happens against Choc or Estrada. Those two guys are not killers. The only big puncher there he just starched easy. This is not potentially Vargas getting a beating from Trinidad type of situation.

Chocolatito can still be dangerous.

If Bam beats Chocolatito he's p4p top 10. And at only 22 that would be insane.

Tremendous talent with a phenomenal performance against Sor Rungvisai. Bam beat the fight out of the Sor Rungvisai and showed he can take a good punch and make adjustments in the fight.

the vets have been beating up on each other so I’d keep them away from Bam, they are ripe for the picking given Bams performance.

Incredibly impressed with Bam. His use of angles, defensive awareness that transitions smoothly to offensive barrages.

All of that being said, I don't think the stars could have aligned better for him. We were supposed to get Cuadras and SSR but SSR gets sick. Bam steps in and beats Cuadras then beats SSR.

Cuadras and SSR were by far the most shopworn of the big 4 in the division. Srisaket looks an old 35, he didn't impress me in his fights against inferior competition during the pandemic. He really struggled against Amnat Ruenroeng.

Contrary to some posters on NSB, I do think styles make fights. Bam was tailor made for SSR especially at this point in the Thai's career.

Bam versus either Estrada or Chocolatito are great competitive fights but they will probably be much tougher than Cuadras and SSR.

Inoue and Estrada would be his toughest fights I believe. But boy is Jr bantam/bantam shaping up to produce some all time great fights.
