What’s at stake for WBA bantamweight titleholder Antonio Vargas (19-1-1, 11 KOs) as he fights Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez (23-0, 16 KOs) on Saturday at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona?
Former WBC Junior Bantamweight Champion Carlos Cuadras has retired at 37, ending his 17-year journey in professional boxing. The 37-year-old from Mexico City made the decision after his eighth-round technical knockout loss to Tomoya Tsuboi on Monday.
In 22 months, Bam Rodriguez has won two world titles at flyweight and one at super flyweight. He has also taken down Carlos Cuadras, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, and Sunny Edwards.
