Promoter Eddie Hahn is worried that the inexperienced Olympian Jafai (9-0, 7 KOs) from 2016 will face former unified smallest world champion Francisco Rodriguez (39-6-1, 27 KOs).

Yafai’s soft matchmaking concerns

Despite his Olympic experience, Yafai was led to filming the WBC provisional 112 pound belt softly matched over a three-year career, without fighting the murderer. Like his brother, Kal Yafai, Galal looked uncomfortable when faced with the hint of power.

He still doesn’t match big punchers or tough fighters. Saturday’s fight gives us a glimpse into how good Yafai is. That’s not a word yet, Francisco Rodriguez is not the best in the flyweight division. That’s why he was chosen. If he was a murderer, he would probably have been handed over to Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn.

Rodriguez’s tough enemies and past losses

Mexico’s Rodriguez (32 years old) was lost six times as a professional, but his defeat was defeated against solid fighters like Roma Gonzalez (x2), Chunichi-Ku, and the criticism of Kawanishi. Donnie Nietz, Moises Fuentes. Most of those fighters will likely defeat Galar Yafai without any problems.

“I think this is a very tough fight. Galar didn’t like my question about Sunny Edwards. The reality is that even if you wanted to see it, we didn’t know when Sunny Edwards was in that ring, and when Sunny said he wasn’t 100% mentally into that fight,” Eddie Hearn said. Boxing in Mathematics About Galar Jafai’s recent victory over former world champion Sunny Edwards.

What do you think Sunny will do mentally? This guy was stopped in December 2023 after being beaten by Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez on his ninth round of dismantling. Of course, 32-year-old Edwards won’t fire on all eight cylinders when he fought Galaryafai last November.

The real question is, why was Sunny the first chosen as Galar’s opponent? If you know that Edwards was badly knocked out by “Bam” Rodriguez, why was he chosen as Jafai’s opponent? We already know the answer. To artificially make Yafai look better. You have recently chosen a beaten fighter, and you use that person as your Galar opponent. This is 101 matchmaking on how to create a fake fighter.

“He (Yafai) still cut him off and it was a great performance, but I think he wants flowers for that performance.

Eddie is correct. Francis Rodriguez is not planning on entering the ring that appears to be depressed, and is already beaten against Jafai. He will come to fight teeth and claws as long as it lasts. The only concern is his age. He is 32 years old and has a long 15-year professional career.

He is the same age as Galar and appears physically younger than him, but he still has more miles on mileage. He is with murderers like Chocolatit Gonzalez, Donnie Nietz, Kazuto Aioca and Moises Fuentes.

Rodriguez’s determined approach to fighting

“I work with a lot of Mexican fighters. When a man comes to me and says, ‘Thank you for the opportunity. Saturday nights won’t disappoint you.’ This isn’t even all of his absolute things.

That means Francisco Rodriguez will fight on Saturday. He understands the importance of this fight for his career. If he defeats Yafai and looks like a diamond in the process, he could catch the eye of Turki Aralshiv and be chosen to be one of Riyadh’s seasonal events and make a big buck.

“He is a former (two-time) world champion and he (Rodriguez) is going to give Jafai everything he can handle. I think Jafai will come,” Hahn said.
