    It's a shame we won't get Bam vs Chocolatito if Bam beats Estrada.

    Beating Carlos Cuadras, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, and Juan Francisco Estrada but not fighting the final member of the Hardcore Four just seems like such a missed opportunity for his legacy. Maybe he can fight Kazuto Ioka as a consolation prize. Big time heads to mount on the wall.

      I can't wait for this fight.
      No need to hype the fight with typical promotional BS.
      The quality of the fighters is more than enough of a draw and they absolutely don't need to sportswa$h in Saudi to draw the crowds.

        Rodriguez is consistent in fighting the best to prove himself the best, even across different weight divisions. This pattern is the complete opposite of almost everything out there.

          TBH, I don't like the notion of reducing a good friend to a scalp on the wall in this sport, especially when the friend is a legend like Chocolatito. He's got plenty of great fights around his weight class, mostly in Japan. Ioka, then the Japanese gauntlet at 118. Maybe Inoue if he stays at 122 long enough.

            Ain't no friends in the ring. Choco is still a top tier fighter so he should continue fighting the best until he retires.

              It's a mistake for Estrada to take this fight after over a year and a half out of the ring. He should have taken a quick tune up to shake out the rust first. I really hope that I'm wrong and that the time out of the ring doesn't impact this fight. This is such a huge fight for boxing fans. The two careers and their quality speaks for itself. If you like boxing , you're going to LOVE this.

                JFE has been my favorite fighter for a long time. However, this fight is by far the most dangerous fight of his long, historic career. An extremely talented fighter in Bam that uses angles, has volume and is much younger is all wrong for Estrada. However, it is what it is and if he is still active, it's the right route to take. To continue making history and I am hoping he will come out on top. It's been a true pleasure to have been able to witness all his classic fights vs Segura, Vitoria, Cuadras, Rungvisai, Gonzalez and now this. What a fighter!

                Vamos Gallo! Con todo!

                  Bam managed to get all those names on his resume, unlike Inoue who somehow managed to get none of them.

                  Let’s forgive Bam if he doesn’t want to fight his promotional stablemate Chocolatito.

                    Well, you can't put a gun to somebodies head and force them to fight you. Or as I've also been told on here "Choco was the A side, so who TF is Inoue to send him a contract offer?"
