Prediction: Jesse Rodriguez on Points
Result: Jesse Rodriguez by Stoppage
This fight was a legend passing the torch to a new legend. Bam came out incredibly strong and put it on Estrada and had him hurt and on the floor. Estrada to his credit kept throwing back and eventually caught Bam and put him on his ass to level the knockdowns but it wasn’t enough. Bam is just special and if he’s not on someone’s pound for pound list then it’s not a legit one. Estrada definitely isn’t the same fighter after the long layoff and age but he was still a class fighter and would beat most people still. I was always worried about how he’d look without the tune up fight and I think it had an effect.
