A multi-generational clash grips Phoenix, Arizona. Juan Francisco Estrada and Jesse Rodriguez face off for the status of the first WBC and The Ring super flyweight champion.
Estrada, 33, turned professional in 2008. “El Gallo” won gold at light flyweight, flyweight and super flyweight, beating rival Román González in 2022 for the WBC title. He has held The Ring belt since 2019. The “Chocolatito” trilogy two years ago was the last fight for “El Gallo”, in a streak of eight consecutive victories.
Rodriguez is a two-pision champion and holds WBC super flyweight gold in 2022 and the IBF and WBO flyweight belts in 2023. “Bam” beat Sunny Edwards in December to win the IBF belt, and the 24-year-old is looking to win gold in a third pision.

Speaking of Edwards, “Showtime” is back in action against Adrian Curiel. Like Edwards, Curiel is looking to get back to winning ways after losing the IBF light flyweight title in a rematch against Sivenathi Nontshinga. That series is tied 1-1.
Also on the card, Yamileth Mercado defends the WBC super bantamweight title against Ramla Ali. Mercado has held the gold at super bantamweight since 2019. He is on a five-fight winning streak. Ali is 1-1 in her last two fights, her previous fight being a decision win against Julissa Alejandra Guzmán, who ended her undefeated record in June 2023.
