Fight Background The young Jesse Rodriguez is chasing another championship in a familiar weight class. In 2022, he won the WBC title at super flyweight. He then dropped down to flyweight and became the WBO and IBF champion in 2023.
In an unification bout, he faced the previously undefeated Briton Sunny Edwards. The slippery and awkward opponent could not cope with Jesse and lost after being withdrawn from the fight after the ninth round.
Rodriguez regularly appears in the top 10 pound-for-pound rankings for a reason. His tough, aggressive style, ring intelligence, and powerful punches leave his opponents with little chance. Despite his knockout power, he doesn't rely solely on it. More than half of his recent opponents heard the final bell but still lost.
Juan Francisco Estrada returns after a long break. He last fought in December 2022, when he faced Roman Gonzalez for the second time and again won in a very close contest.
Estrada is an excellent boxer, a two-weight world champion, very experienced, and resilient. The main question is how the layoff will affect him. How will nearly two years out of the ring impact a 34-year-old fighter facing a top-level opponent ten years his junior? The exact answer can only be found during the fight.
Additional Facts About the Fight:
This will be Jesse's 11th fight against a Mexican opponent. His record in such fights is 6 KO wins, 4 decision wins, and no losses.
This is the longest break in Estrada's career. Between his last fight against Roman Gonzalez and the bout with Rodriguez, 1 year, 6 months, and 29 days will have passed. In recent years, he typically fought 1-2 times a year.
The most active year in Juan Francisco's career was 2009. He had 9 fights that year: 9 KO wins, with only 1 fight reaching the 6th round.
Estrada has not lost since 2018, when he was defeated by majority decision by Wisaksil Wangek.
Jesse Rodriguez sparred with Roman Gonzalez – a fighter who faced Estrada three times: losing twice and winning once.
