Jesse Rodriguez gives bold prediction for his fight against Sunny Edwards
Jesse Rodriguez is walking into the biggest test of his career this weekend against Sunny Edwards. Rodriguez is the younger of the two at 23 years old and has a record of 18 wins and no losses. Of those 18 wins, 11 have come via knockout, and 'Bam' is eyeing his 12th knockout victory this Saturday.
Ahead of the fight, Rodriguez sat down for an interview with Boxing Scene, where he was asked to comment on the challenge he has in the form of Edwards. Despite calling the latter a "very good fighter," 'Bam' believes he has what it takes to knock him out.
Claiming that the "sky is the limit" for him, Jesse Rodriguez had this to say:
“This fight is going to be exciting. The sky is the limit for me; anybody, anywhere. He’s a very good fighter, very technical, very skillful, fast, smart. I knew one day down the line we would meet up and here it is. He hasn’t been in with someone with the skills I have, and with the power on top of that. I don’t care what it takes, I’m going to win, I’m taking his belt, and I’m taking his ‘0’. I’m going to knock him out.”
