The former ruler in the third round, with a devastating uppercut on route, to a wide points, win victory, saw bam.
Crown the youngest active world champion in the sport and fans and pundits alike were quick to anoint the 22 year old as the future of the 115 pound division and more, but as rodriguez prepares to face another massive test in the shape of the thai king, rang.
Masai he says he can carry that weight of expectation with ease and prove that he is the real deal.
He says a lot of people have eyes on me now and they’re looking at me to take over the division.
I’Ve seen a lot on social media, saying i’m the new chalky and that’s a lot of motivation.
I want to live up to the hype rang.
Vasaya has been in with the best and beating him would really boost my confidence and skyrocket.
My career, i feel a lot stronger than i did against cuadras.
That wasn’t a fluke.
I want to show that i am the real deal.
It’S possibly the toughest test you could face in the first division of my title, but like with the clutterers fight, i had no hesitation because i’m here to take over fair enough, let’s have a quick look at uh.
The other boats will be on that uh fight night.
Let’S have a quick look here: curio cesaro, martinez, 18 and 2 goes up against mc williams.
Arroyo 2104 uh pick up where they left off in their curtailed fire fight for martinez’s wbc world flyweight, title ibf and wba world super bantamweight champion uh mauro john achamandaliev defends his title against uh ronnie rios and undisputed welterweight ruler, jessica, mccaskill, uh 11-2, with four knockouts Makes her third defense of all the marbles at 100, pounds against alma albarra, she’s, 10 and 1, and with four knockouts also on that card raymond ford 1101 undefeated will face unbeaten local town, richard medina who’s 13-0 for his wba continental america’s featherweight strap and the ibf North american belt nikita uh 10 – oh sorry, 11-0, with six knockouts fights for the first time in 2010, 2022 against noah, larrios, jr, he’s 14 and one over eight rounds at the middleweight division, big, hitting in light heavyweight, calico he’s three and oh one.

Let’S move across the pond to coventry sky dome arena where we hear that teddy dialer is getting ready to sorry.
Tyler denny is getting ready to face river wilson bent and that’s his saturday night.
Tyler denney insists that nothing will stop him from getting past river wilson bent and claiming the english middleweight title.
The two will lock horns at coventry, skydome marina on saturday night in front of the sky sports cameras with the winner landing the vacant crown.
It’S a second meeting of the duo who played out a controversial class for the same honors last november at the same venue, which was halted in the seventh round.
The contest was stopped after coventry’s own wilson bent sustained a nasty cut over his left eye, which meant a technical decision, and the official’s intervention was called for referee ian john lewis ruled that the telling blow was a result of a head button, not a punch, despite Replays proving to the contrary, meaning that the three judges would have to score the bout based on seven rounds.
Kevin parker had a 67 66, the denny, while john latham tallied 66-66 stalemate sean messer.
The other judge scored it 68-65 to wilson bend that draw left the belt still up for grabs with denny remaining determined to eliminate his opponent’s unbeaten status, as he did with the o of derek assassi.
Last year, the former midlands champion is hoping to get his hands on the english title at the fourth attempt.
After earlier points, losses to linus, adolphia and rhys cartwright, and while an early birthday present, that would be for the ruthless from roely regis in the black country, who turns 31 next week july, 2nd the southpaw’s seven year pro career stands at 13, wins two losses and Three jaws with him more than that power than ever to land, a main technical knockout.
He said i’ve got to do the business.
Now we have some butts.
This is the third fight on television i’ve had in a row, so it’s my career heading.
The right direction should be my third straight win, so no wonder that the board and i ordered the ring match.
I should already be the english champion.
It was a bad cut, but it wasn’t a headbutt that caused it.
If the referee ian john lewis didn’t see it, but you have to assume there’s a result of a punch, the judges also got it wrong.
One had a draw and i’ve had me round up and how uh he added five rounds to two in front i’ll.
Never know if they let him carry on he’s on going one way and so he’s had the left left off and i think it’s going to get him a bit rattled! Nothing that’s happened can affect me.
I don’t take anything to heart, i’m probably one of the most chilled out guys in boxing and he seems more respectful.
Now he must have thought that he was going to walk through me.
It’S not turned around that badly might fall been raised by a close-up, came and there’s a big stage for us to settle this.
If i get the win, the last result will be forgotten.
Fair enough, uh over in wembley jason cunningham is set to face uh zola.

Maxeo is 24-0 by the way 50 knockouts he’s fighting out of passage city metro manila.
By way of los angeles and became the latest champion from the boxing rich nation in january, when he outpointed longtime champion gary russell jr to capture the 126-pound title, and that was also on show time.

So, as i said before, good stuff, coming out of san antonio texas in that fight by the way mark maxio versus ray vargas july 9th elsewhere, we see that sunny edwards uh has a bit of a battle on his hands.
Sunny edwards hopes to hopes the collapse of julio cesar martinez’s latest title.
Defense does not prevent the biggest fight of the flyweight division in quotes from happening.
Showtime has confirmed.
He is aggressively chasing a fight with the mexican and is keeping his fingers crossed.
That martinez retains his wbc belt, despite pulling out of the fight with interim champion mcwilliams arroyo through illness.
Edwards who owns the ibf crown has made it clear that he wants a unification showdown with martinez and hoped a win for el rey in texas on saturday night.
Would open up the door for their fight later in the year, but martinez who had pulled out the fight with arroyo twice before now awaits a ruling bc to see if he will retain his title and keep alive a huge cloud at edwards for two belts said Edwards, i was disappointed to hear the news that martiza pulled out of the fight and it’s frustrating, as we’ve all been waiting for a conclusion to the saga only for the fight to go down again.
But i hope martinez makes the best recovery and i hope he retains his title to protect the biggest fight in the flyweight division period, good stuff, alrighty.
