Who’s the highest canine proper now at 115 kilos? Chances are high loads of followers will say “Bam” Rodriguez is the person. The reigning WBC and Ring Journal champ at tremendous flyweight, the unbeaten 24 12 months previous from San Antonio confirmed us all once more how good he’s, how particular he’s, on Saturday evening, this as he grew to become the primary man to halt Mexico’s Pedro Guevara.
And after going to 21-0(14) along with his third spherical KO win, Rodriguez known as for a unification battle or, failing that, a giant battle with modern-day legend Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez. Properly, one unbeaten fighter who holds two belts at 115 kilos has made a name out of his personal, and Fernando Martinez, the reigning IBF and WBA tremendous fly champ, has accused “Bam” of dodging him.
Taking to social media to reply to “Bam’s” name out for a unification battle, Martinez issued some daring phrases.
“He noticed me battle [Kazuto] Ioka, and now he doesn’t point out me anymore,” Martinez, 17-0(9) wrote. “Why don’t you say you need to battle me? After Ioka (in a rematch) on December 31, I’m prepared for you. Do you need to unify or not? You talked about me a lot, however then whenever you went to see me in Japan towards Ioka, you didn’t say something. Now you’re dodging me? Come on, unify! Let’s make it occur in 2025.”
If “Puma” Martinez can get previous Ioka of their rematch (no certain factor), a battle between him and Rodriguez actually may develop into one of many largest, most attention-grabbing and thrilling decrease weight fights on the market. “Bam” is not going to take kindly to being accused of dodging Martinez, that’s for certain. The issue right here may very well be timing, although. Martinez might nicely have to come back via a troublesome battle in his December return with the nonetheless formidable Ioka, and because of this he might not be capable of battle once more for some months. Will “Bam” take a battle within the meantime, as he waits for Martinez?
However this unification battle appears a pure one to make, and Martinez has laid his playing cards firmly on the desk. Does “Bam” need the battle as a lot because the warrior from Argentina desires it?
Who wins and the way if/when these two excellent fighters get it on?
