Comments Thread For: Hearn: Bam Rodriguez Can Unify Any Division From 108 To 115

If this kid takes a few fights outside of the USA then he can be a 100% global superstar!

Too bad Sunny Edwards is with Probellum. I'd like to see Bam go take his title.

I like this kid a lot, love the side stepping/change of angles he was using last night, Sor just couldn't keep up, Bam made him look so slow

Excellent Performance! He has plenty of options at 112 and 115: Junto, Sunny Edwards at 112 and of course J.F. Estrada, Chocolatito, Ioka, Martinez...

All great fights! Good thing is that smaller divisions don't have the Option to Marinate Fights and try to Cherry Pick, they typically all fight each other so I expect another good fight for Bam next vs one of those names

I think Sunny's looking for Martinez next.

Junto Nakatani might have something to say about that. If I were Bam, I'd stay away from Nakatani for a little white. I think that Kazuto Ioka is the next fight to make for Bam. Let's see that because that will be a fantastic fight. I'd favor Bam in it too.

I think Sunny's looking for Martinez next.

And he'll still be with Probellum. Martinez vs Bam is much more possible.

...so we're setting the kid up to be the next Golovkin, eh?

Golovkin: I'll fight anyone at 154, 160, 168

He's 22 with two solid big names under his name already. I feel like Bam might be the type of fighter to dip before he's 30. It depends on what he wants to accomplish but he's already taken out two big names. What's to say he racks up another 3-5 big names and then calls it day?

I remember when I first heard Robert rave about this kid like he was the next big thing. Once I saw him box for the first time, his praise was justified! Bam's performance against Sor Rungvisai only confirmed his skill level, boxing iq and incredible potential. I'm not saying he's going to dominate and stop Choco and El Gallo the same way but it's definitely a possibility.
Bam is an amazing talent and he already has former champions on his resume. He's taking on the best he can get in the ring and is flourishing. He'll only get better if he stays grounded and motivated. There's no false confidence here, Bam is the next generation.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!

Not even remotely relevant. Bam's style is nothing like Golovkin's. Golovkin was older than Bam is now when he turned pro and Bam won a world title at an age when GGG was still an amateur. Bam has so much more time to accomplish great things and he doesn't need to rely on his power because he has many more tools at his disposal.

The POINT is...these promoters need to STOP with this "anyone from X to X". Let the guy/girl do their thing in the ring and stop overpromsing. You're just setting him up for disappointment.
