It was imposed with cards of 118-109, 117-110 and 114-113
His best weapon was the movement through the ring
The American Jesse “Bam” Rodríguez went from less to more to win this Saturday by unanimous decision Mexican Israel González and retain the World Boxing Council super flyweight title.
In Las Vegas, Rodriguez was imposed with cards of 118-109, 117-110 and 114-113the latter far from what happened in an even fight with an advantage in almost all rounds for the American.
No respect for the monarch, “Jiga” González imposed conditions in the first assault with good blows to the stomach and an advantage in exchanges from long distance.
Rodríguez took note, patiently shortened the separation and took out one of its best virtues, the displacements through the ring to balance the actions, with a greater number of blows.
From there, the combat took place at a high level, with Jesse in great sporting form and the Mexican answering most of the punches.
The fourth round assault was even, in the fifth Rodríguez hit well with the left and confirmed his feline speed against an opponent with more reach.
Jesse, already ahead on the scorecards, hit a header in the eighth and then hit the genitals of the “Jiga”for which he was penalized, but from then on he placed the best shots and defended admirably against an opponent who never gave up.
Rodríguez was confirmed as the world boxing revelation in 2022 with his third victory in just over seven months; reached 17 wins, 11 by knockoutin the same number of presentations, while González suffered his fifth setback, with 28 wins, 11 on the fast track, and one draw.
The fight was the previous one of the stellar card, in which the Mexican Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez will expose his belts of the super middleweight division against the Kazakh Guenaddi Golovkin, in one of the most anticipated fights of the year.
Álvarez and Triple GGG” tied in an epic match in September 2017 and a year later the Mexican won, in another even duel.
