Damn, I'm hurt lol. My boy got KO'd by the younger and incredibly talented fighter. I'm hoping for the best in the rematch. Estrada is known to win all his rematche, and I think he can pull it off against Bam. He needs to keep his punches straight and stop turning after a combo. Turn with Bam, don't turn after him. Bam's footwork and angles at this point in Estrada's age are a major issue. War Estrada!
I'm a huge Gallo fan too bro but to Estradas credit he lost to a special guy in Rodriguez no shame at all

No shame, for sure. Bam is the new guard. Truth be told, there is a lot of sentimental value behind my support of Estrada and his career. I hope he pulls the rematch off and rides off into the sunset... but truth be told, I always knew Bam might be a bit much at this stage. Rodriguez is a legend killer in every extent of the word. I'm proud of him too. But my support for Gallo is unwavering and win, lose, or draw, I will always believe in the guy.

What's unfortunate is that Bam won't get to add Chocolatito's name to his resume. The next best thing would be Ioka, who's carved out a great career and who has a win over his Bam's older brother. I'm hoping Ioka still has enough to beat Martinez.
Another point: Teofimo and Rodriguez fighting on the same night highlights the fact that Teofimo isn't as great as he thinks. Bam fought the better opponent and produced a better performance. Teofimo fancies himself an elite counter-puncher, but could not find the kill-shot against an aggressive opponent. Bam outshined Teofimo in every department tonight.

I normally stay away from P4P discussions because everyone has their own criteria, but Bam is gradually checking off all the boxes necessary to prove that he's P4P caliber. If we're talking top 5, I think the way he gets there is by becoming the first Undisputed champion at 115.
Tonight's performance also shows that Teofimo's development has stagnated. Not only does he struggle against out-boxers, but he showed some deficiencies tonight against a swarmer too.
