Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez raised himself to a new level by scoring an impressive early victory over Srisaketom Sor Rungvisai and defending his WBC super bantamweight title in his hometown of San Antonio, Texas.
“Today my technique was stronger,” said Rodriguez. — My team knows what I am capable of and what I can show, so we accepted the fight. I felt that I started to break him after three rounds, he had no strength left. I knew I couldn't stand up to him and we decided to put on a show. I used angles more, Robert kept telling me to do it and I listened to him."
“The fight with Cuadras gave me the experience and brought me here to fight at my home in San Antonio. I will do whatever Robert (Garcia) says. I am an elite fighter, not mediocrity, and I have come for a long time, ”added 22-year-old Rodriguez.
