Bam Rodriguez vs Cristian Gonzalez: match events & post-match reactions
Although Rodriguez was considered the overwhelming favorite for his clash against Gonzalez, he struggled to find his rhythm during the match and took a thunderous punch to the jaw in the sixth-round. However, Rodriguez showcased his resolve to win by enduring the pain and throwing strong punches of his own combined with body shots.
Gonzalez managed to withstand barrage of punches but, his inability to control the match meant Rodriguez was declared as the winner of this match through unanimous decision. After observing a tenacious display from Rodriguez, the judges awarded the match 118-110, 117-111, 116-112 in his favor. “Bam” wasted little time in focusing on IBF world flyweight champion Sunny Edwards for a potential unification fight after winning his second world title in a different weight division.
