Vacant WBO Flyweight Championship
Last night’s Matchroom/DAZN Main Event between Jesse Rodriguez (18-0, 11 Kos) and Christian Gonzalez (15-2, 5 Kos) was a very entertaining bout for all the fans in attendance at Tech Port’s Boeing Center in San Antonio.
Both combatants threw some serious leather at each other making this bout that much more intriguing but it was Rodriguez who separated himself by showing a level of boxing IQ above his opponent that couldn’t go unnoticed. The kid “BAM” is something special inside that squared circle. For a young kid, his skill set inside that squared circle was visibly growing fight by fight.
Although Jesse did not get the stoppage in this bout, he clearly dominated his opponent who realized he was severely outmatched inside that squared circle and did whatever was needed to survive the duration of the bout. Gonzalez started the bout with a good “game plan” but quickly abandoned it when the pressure was too overwhelming to overcome.
After 12 fully completed rounds, the Judges at hand had no problem calling the bout 118-110, 117-111 and 116-112 unanimously for Jesse Rodriguez.
With this convincing win, Jesse “BAM” Rodriguez picked up the vacant WBO Flyweight Championship Belt of the World and became boxing’s youngest Two-Division World Title holder.
Quite an impressive accolade for the young warrior. Well done, Champ.
