Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez
Makes His Statement;
Arturo Cardenas Settles Old Business in Arizona |
|
By William Trillo
Saturday night in Glendale, Arizona, boxing once again
reminded everyone that while hype remains a valuable
currency in the sport, talent eventually arrives to
collect the debt.
And in the case of Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez, business
appears to be booming.
Rodriguez captured the WBA bantamweight title at Desert
Diamond Arena with a devastating sixth-round stoppage of
Antonio Vargas, claiming a world championship in a third
weight division and perhaps moving one step closer
toward what could become one of boxing’s biggest
international events — a potential super fight with
undisputed super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue.
