Teofimo vs. Claggett and Estrada vs. Rodriguez: How Will the Fights End

On June 29, two boxing events will take place in the USA, featuring championship bouts in the main events. In Phoenix, USA, Mexican Juan Francisco Estrada (44-3, 28 KOs) will face American Jesse Rodriguez (19-0, 12 KOs).

At stake in this showdown is the WBC super flyweight title (up to 52.2 kg). Jesse previously held this title before vacating it to move to a lighter weight class to become a unified champion.

This is undoubtedly a big fight for both. Estrada is returning after a year-and-a-half hiatus to face a boxer ranked highly in many P4P lists. Jesse will be up against one of the most experienced fighters in his career.

In their recent fights, both fighters have fought nearly the same number of rounds: 53 for Rodriguez against 56 for Estrada. Additionally, Jesse and Juan Francisco have an identical knockout percentage in these fights—40%.

In Miami, American Teofimo Lopez (20-1, 13 KOs) will make his second title defense. His opponent will be Canadian Steve Claggett (38-7-2, 26 KOs). Claggett is an unexpected opponent and, for many, unnecessary at this stage of Lopez's career. However, he is intriguing.

For instance, Claggett has knocked out more fighters in his recent bouts: his knockout percentage recently is 60%, compared to Teofimo's 20%. However, one must not forget the level of opposition. During this time, Lopez moved to a new division and managed to defeat, for example, former undisputed champion Josh Taylor.

This will be Lopez's fifth fight at super lightweight. In this division, he has won three times by judges' decision and once by knockout.
