Episode Details

Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez just captured the WBA bantamweight title with a stunning six-round stoppage of Antonio Vargas, dropping him in the fifth and sealing the win in the sixth. Now, the spotlight turns to a potential clash with undisputed super-bantamweight kingpin Naoya Inoue. Rodriguez is ready to take on the challenge, with promoter Eddie Hearn pushing for speed to capitalize on the moment. While a fight against WBO champ Christian Medina looms as a possible next step, Rodriguez’s coach Robert Garcia believes another bantamweight bout would prep him perfectly for Inoue. Rodriguez insists he must fight Inoue for legacy and a massive payday before retirement, while Inoue’s sights are set on 122 — and possibly 126 — if Rodriguez hesitates.
