BIRMINGHAM, England ? Eddie Hearn has hinted that it is likely that unified junior bantamweight champion Jesse ?Bam? Rodriguez could move up to 118lbs instead of pushing to become undisputed.

I thought there was that thing, Unifications over mandatories.

If the sanctioning bodies want to make sure they lose all their leverage and give up the game to Dana the terrible then thats the way to do it

Hearn is right. IBF was better with the bro who was stuffing wads of cash down his trousers. Now they love stripping, obstructing unification and forcing usually trash mandatories

i blame moloney here. he can't wait 6 more months for jesse to unify and move up definitely and vacate 4 belts. classic top rank wbo belt would be available against weak opposition along side ibf. but he can't wait NOW. yeah, right. this is probably arum messing hearn's plans.

Promoters & crooked alphabelts always getting in the way of undesputed.
I personally hope Turki & Dana are successful in creating a title that is more of a meritocracy like the Ufc.

He needs to stop Weight Bullying these Tiny, Inferior opponents and jump up to 126 already. Bam Should have never fought in these lower weights. He's a freak like Benavidez, Inoue, Haney, and Fundora who can boil down without dying. But i guarantee you guys Bam is literally closer to a lightweight in terms of size than a bantamweight. None of these guys will be able to touch him unless he comes in too drained like Haney when he stayed at 135 too long.

stop it Bam aint that big he would be undersized against any 126 fighter and also against many 122.

Bam clearly wins his fights on skills and not size

[IronDanHamza]

Makes sense.

Forget the other belt he's already beaten the guy ranked #1.

Move up to 118, no one's beating him there.

How the heck do the Moloneys always get title shot after title shot? It’s ridiculous. They aren’t that good.

Everyone would rather see Bam unify against the winner of Willibaldo Garcia vs Kenshiro Teraji.
