Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez,white shorts, fighting Srisaket Sor Rungvisai as he defends his WBC World Super-Flyweight title on Saturday June 25, 2022 at the Tech Port Arena in San Antonio.San Antonio prizefighters Joshua Franco and Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez are more than brothers and best friends.
“He was supposed to be the first ,” Rodriguez said. “The plan was for me to join him. But he didn’t get the win I thought he deserved. Now, I have to go out there and make history.” Rodriguez will make his own bit of history if he wins Saturday. He would become San Antonio’s first two-division champion, having won the WBC’s 115-pound title a year ago and then making two successful defenses before deciding to move down a division to 112.
His opponent Saturday is a tall and rangy 22-year-old native of Tultitlan who is riding a nine-fight win streak but has never gone beyond 10 rounds. He is also fighting outside of Mexico for the first time.
