It's just unfortunate that fights like this in the lower weight categories are not generating enough attention this is the exact weight division where the great Pacquiao and up-and-coming great Inoue started and this is also the division where one of the greatest Mexican fighters reigns Ricardo "El Finito" López, great prospects in the Bantamweight and Superwelterweight started here Bam Rodriguez should stay in the division or if Edwards ask for a rematch he should go for it after Inoue he is the next big star in the lower weight division.
because nowadays less and less popularity comes to boxing mate, not like In Manny
Pacquaio's time when really Boxing is on its hype but we must admit that in our days now , less younger
generation are interested in Boxing or if they still? yet not in Boxing gambling instead other forms of
gambling that they are enjoying now so lets admit that sooner , there will be less championship that
will even gain attentions.
I'm on travel so I failed to give a timely update on the fight, but the fight turned out to be what we all expected it to be, a real slugfest between two undefeated champions.
But Bam Rodriguez proved to be a more resilient and more tenacious fighter than the two, the end came in the 9th round when Rodriguez knocked down Edwards for the first time in his career seconds before the end of the round, Edwards did beat the count but the corner did not allow him to continue into the 10th round.
Rodriguez Vs Edwards round 9Jesse Rodriguez knocks out Sunny Edwards in 10 rounds and is now unified championEdwards made a wrong decision to go toe to toe against a boxer who is a power puncher than him. I think he should have made an in game adjustment, like doing some reality check about his KO percentage. However, I'm still impress with his performance, I can see some durability in him because he lasted 9 rounds and it wasn't him who gave up, his corner did. Overall, I can say it's one of the most entertaining fights I've seen this year.
and has still a chance to win back in the future, when rematch happened I think he has a chance .
Rodriguez on the other hand shows really the toughness .
