The WBC World Super Flyweight title belongs to Jesse Rodriguez 👑 #CuadrasRodriguez pic.twitter.com/7CR7FyO6lA
The opening two rounds belonged to Cuadras (39-5-1, 27 KOs). He was throwing in bunches, going to the body in an effort to impose his will on the smaller Rodriguez. However, Rodriguez had different plans in mind in the third round. Rodriguez flicked a jab, slid, and planted a picture-perfect right uppercut to send Cuadras to the canvas.
From there, it was all Rodriguez (15-0, 10 KOs). His speed was too much. His footwork was superb, allowing him to throw from unique angles. Those factors permitted Rodriguez to continuously walk Cuadras down and control the action to become the youngest world champion right now in boxing at the age of 22.Here is what happened at Jesse Rodriguez vs. Carlos Cuadras.
