Boxing Prodigy Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez Prepares for Estrada Showdown with Sparring Session Alongside Legendary Chocolatito

Ahead of his highly anticipated WBC super-flyweight title bout against reigning champion Juan Francisco Estrada on June 29 in Phoenix, Arizona, rising Boxing star Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez has enlisted the help of none other than the legendary Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez as a sparring partner.

The 24-year-old Rodriguez, who established himself as one of the world’s premier fighters when he stopped the previously undefeated Sunny Edwards for the flyweight title last December, will be moving up to the super-flyweight division to challenge the 34-year-old Estrada, a seasoned warrior who has shared the ring with Gonzalez in a memorable trilogy.

“‘Chocolatito’ fought Estrada three times so he’s very familiar with his style – he knows what he does right and wrong,” Rodriguez said. “To share the ring with him was a huge opportunity. We got eight solid rounds in, and each one was fireworks, so my confidence is even higher going into the fight knowing I’ve shared the ring with Chocolatito.”

Gonzalez, a former pound-for-pound king, provided invaluable insights and experience to the young Rodriguez, who is eager to prove his doubters wrong once again. “Chocolatito is a legend – not just of the lower weight classes but just in boxing, period. He was on the pound-for-pound list for a very long time, so to share the ring with him was an honour, and it doesn’t get any better than that.”

Despite the challenges that lie ahead, Rodriguez remains supremely confident in his abilities, stating, “I know what I am capable of, so I go into the fight knowing that I feel that no one can beat me.” He is determined to cement his status as one of the greats in the lower weight classes and the sport of Boxing as a whole.
