WBC super flyweight champion Juan Francisco Estrada vs. Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez has some good fights that will interest fans on Saturday’s undercard at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The event will be shown live on DAZN at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Sunny Edwards vs. Adrian Curiel

The gem of the undercard Is former IBF flyweight champion Sunny Edwards (20-1, 4 KOs) taking on former IBF light flyweight champ Adrian Curiel (24-5-1, 5 KOs) in a 12-round contest. Both fighters are coming off knockout losses and badly need a win.

Edwards, 28, was knocked out in the ninth round by ‘Bam’ Rodriguez in his recent fight on December 16th, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona.

Up until getting stopped in the ninth, Edwards gave ‘Bam’ many problems with his crafty fighting style and his ability to make him miss. Ultimately, Rodriguez proved

Sunny won’t have to worry about power on Saturday night, as the former IBF 108-lb champion Curiel, 25, isn’t a big puncher, and the fight will come down to which of the two has the superior skills.

You have to favor Sunny to be too good for Curiel in this fight unless he’s still affected by the beat down he suffered against ‘Bam’ last December, and you can’t rule that out because he soaked up a lot of heavy punishment from the power-puncher.

Mercado vs. Ali: Championship Defense

In another interesting contest on this Saturday’s Estrada vs. Rodriguez card is WBC female super bantamweight champion Yamileth Mercado (23-3, 5 KOs) making a defense against Ramla Ali (9-1, 2 KOs) in a ten-round contest.
