Why bet on Rodriguez?

At just 24 years old, Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez has already etched his name among the elite of the super flyweight division. The undefeated San Antonio native boasts an unblemished record of 20-0-0, with 13 of those victories coming by knockout.

Rodriguez announced his arrival on the big stage in 2022 with a string of impressive victories. He began the year by outpointing former champion Carlos Cuadras, followed by a unanimous decision victory over hard-hitting Janiel Rivera. However, it was his sensational knockout against veteran champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai in June that put the boxing world on notice.

The crowning achievement of Rodriguez’s young career came just two weeks later when he faced Mexican legend, Juan Francisco Estrada. In a back-and-forth war, Bam showed his grit and determination and finally stopped Estrada in the seventh round to capture the WBC super flyweight title.

Why bet on Guevara?

At 35, Pedro Guevara enters this title unification fight as the WBC interim super flyweight champion, having captured that belt with a split decision victory over Andrew Moloney in Australia last May. The native of Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico, has an impressive professional record of 42 wins (22 knockouts), four losses, and one draw.

Guevara has been a consistent force in the lower weight classes for over a decade, facing a who’s who of top opposition. He has shared the ring with former champions such as Kenshiro Teraji, Oswaldo Novoa, and Akira Yaegashi, showing his grit and determination against top-level competition.

In the ring, Guevara is a pressure fighter who likes to work behind a high guard and take his opponents down. His strength lies in his relentless body attack, landing ferocious hooks in the midsection to slow and take down his foes. Although not a great puncher, Guevara’s consistent output and ability to cut off the ring make him a handful for anyone weighing 115 pounds.

Final Betting Analysis: Rodriguez vs. Guevara

Rodriguez is the most aggressive and explosive fighter. His combination of punches and body attacks has been key to his success. Guevara, on the other hand, is a more patient and technical boxer who likes to counter and pick his shots.

For “Bam” Rodriguez, the key to victory lies in his ability to dictate the pace and rhythm of the fight. With his superior speed and footwork, Rodriguez should look to establish his jab early, using it to control distance and set up his power punches.
