Turki Alalshikh announces Bam Rodriguez Vs Fernando Martinez unification before Cafu Fight: Dangerous moves?

Turki Alalalshikh has revealed that WBC Super Flyweight Champion Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez will face WBA Belt-Holder Fernando Martinez (19-0, 9 Kos) in the unified match held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in November.

However, BAM will need to win a unified match against unbeaten WBO 115-LB champion Phumelela Cafu (11-0-3, 8 KOS) at the star Ford Center in Frisco, Texas on July 19th. That battle is shown I live in Dazen. Ring Magazine We have reported news from Turki Alalshikh.

Why Turki announced early

The big question is why did Torki not wait until after his fight with Humerella Cuff before announcing a unified match against Argentina’s Fernando Martinez? Bam announces the fight before the match with Cafu is jumping over the gun as he could lose this fight.

Announcement of a battle before an important unification battle is a bad form. If this was a BAM adjustment, that’s one thing, but this is a unified match with a great champion.

That’s not the case that 25-year-old Rodriguez is invincible. We saw Bam struggling badly in the fight against Christian Gonzalez Hernandez and Israel Gonzalez. These two matches indicate that BAM cannot walk on the water. He is human and may lose to the talented South African cuff. This guy has a lot of talent and punches.

Bam’s fragile jaw exposed

Bam Rodriguez isn’t difficult to hit Big lantern chin It was already broken once Christian Gonzalez in the sixth round of 2023. Cuff is his most prominent feature, so targeting Bam’s jaw might be able to replicate that effort. Sometimes there is a “Hit Me” sign.

The only reason we can see Torki announced the early battle between Martinez vs. Bam is to raise interest in a collision with Rode Liguez’s cuff on July 19th. This is one way to do that, but it still looks bad.

Fernando Martinez, 33, looked like pure gold in his final two fights, defeating IBF 115-pound champion Yoka by a 12-round unanimous decision. Martinez dominated Yooka in his first fight in 2024, winning scores 117-111, 120-108, and 116-112, so there was no need for a rematch in practice.
