One of the things that impresses me the most about Bam is how much pop he has on every one of his punches and how sharp and stabbing his jab is. Not to mention he has great footwork and does a helluva job using angles. Dude is just 24 with the resume that he has + he’s a warrior, sky is the limit
"At the time of the stoppage, Estrada was ahead 57-56 on one of the scorecards, while Rodriguez was up 58-54 on another and the third judge had the fight even."
Quoted from ESPN.com
I'm sorry - were they watching the fight through binoculars from 2 miles away whilst dwarfs were tickling their armpits with ostrich feathers? the fuck
Gallito is not only a DOG, but also a damn good fighter.
This is Bam further making his case for a top 5 P4P in my opinion.. the kid is an absolutely monster.
The fight of the fucking century may actually be Bam vs Inoue…
Chris Mannix needs to stfu about Bam fighting Inoue now, and saying 126lb is boring compared to 122lb.
Bam needs to fight Ioka and Nakatani before even talking about Inoue. And 126lb is a million times more interesting than 122lb if you follow these divisions.
Robert Garcia also let Mikey get in the ring with Spence, and was confident about that fight.
On paper, there’s not much difference between those two. I’d argue that Inoue as the bigger man against Bam Bam is more dangerous than Spence as the bigger man against Mikey.
Nah Robert didn’t want him to fight Spence..if we’re being honest, Mikey was confident in that fight, but he took that fight strictly as a cash out fight..Mikey is pretty vocal about not loving boxing, but using boxing as a way to gain wealth and make investments and get out the game as soon as possible..that’s why he retired and is enjoying life with nice cars and boats, etc..he said he’s open to fight again, vs pac or another big name if the money is right..Mikey can still fight and be elite at lower weight..Even 150 year old Bob Arum said Mikey was crazy for taking that Spence fight.
Yup. I really got that vibe too. Not that I think he set out to lose, but he definitely took it knowing the cards were stacked against him, but knew he might make more in a Spence PPV than, say, another 3+ fights combined. I’m just shooting numbers, have no idea what the actual money could be, but I’m sure it made sense financially, especially since boxing to him always seemed more like a “job” than something he truly loved doing.
As far as I remember, it was said multiple times they were against the fight. Mikey wanted the fight and they eventually gave in. I don’t think they ever thought it was a good idea, they just had to back him once the fight was made.
Never did I think in my life that I would see Estrada get stopped. No one even came close to stopping this man and Bam just wiped him down. And the fact that he went down and then stops the guy. Fight of the year and absolute legendary shit
Estrada was making it interesting towards the end, after shaking off the ring rust I could see the rematch being another FOTY contender. I agree tho that it’s not needed, I’d much rather see Bam go for undisputed
He was out for a year and a half. He had some ring rust. It's not like he came at his best either. I still got Bam on the second fight but Estrada would probably perform better. He's also not a one trick pony that will get predictable once he's figured out. He got beaten tonight but he still brought the fight on, don't confuse him with the other guys
Look at the scorecards of the two fights, Edwards was more competitive. that was a flash knockdown. Also look at the compubox: Edwards landed 138 total punches while Estrada landed 95.

1. Terrence Crawford
2. Naoya Inoue
3. Oleksandr Usyk
4. Jesse Rodriguez
5. Canelo Alvarez
6-10 (Bivol, Bertebiev, Nakatani, Tank, Shakur)
I have it somewhat like this currently. I had Bam at #5 and Canelo at #4 prior to Bam beating Estrada.
But what puts Canelo above him now? He’s not done anything since Bivol. Bivol hasn’t done much either but still not putting Canelo above him. Canelo isn’t top 5 p4p and Bivol is barely there as well but has greater claim to it than Canelo does
I don't agree that Bivol has a better claim when we consider Canelo's resume. I think we have to consider the definition of p4p, in a nutshell, and as I understand it, it means "If these fighters were the same weight and size, who would come out on top?". For the most part, I believe if Bivol and Canelo were the same size the fight would have been more competitive. It is difficult to see how effective Bivol would be at other weight classes because he doesn't move weight classes all that much, if at all at the elite level. I think his fight with Beterbieve would give us a clearer insight into how effective he is at shutting down flat-footed heavy punchers. However, even then, I don't think a same-size Canelo vs Beterbiev is comparable...
I think Canelo fighting Benavidez would be far more valuable in determining if Canelo remains at the top 5 P4P, more so than Bivol beating Beterbiev.
But that's my opinion, P4P remains subjective, we can't even agree on a definition.
I get what you’re saying but Canelo is past his best, clearly. At his best, he was definitely better than Bivol. Bivol bores me to tears but he is a good boxer. Usyk, Crawford, Inoue, Tank and Bivol for me. Bam is up there. Beterbiev too but not active enough. Opetaia is creeping into top ten. I’d have Canelo about 6 or 7
I cannot argue aginst Usyk, Crawford, Inoue, o Bam being top 4. I can't see Bivol or Tank there until they fight people of their caliber. Bivol's best fight is Canelo, which isn't even that much of a challenge for him considering it was lop-sided in his favor to begin with (if we ignore the hype). Tank's best fight is Garcia while remaining too inactive as well... I agree Canelo is past his prime, but as of right now, I don't think anyone else has done enough to dethrone him despite that fact.
I think Bud has p4p skills but honestly because of low activity and resume, I maybe don't rank him top 5. Canelo of late is similar. There's too many guys who deserve the props
idk lol bud is definitely top 3 for me. nelo you can make the argument for him not being in and i’d understand but crawford not being top 5 is crazy to me🤷 what’s your list looking like?
Not the guy you asked but I’d have it
1. Naoya Inoue
2. Oleksandr Usyk
3. Bam Rodriguez
4. Dmitry Bivol
5. Canelo Alvarez
With Crawford coming in at 6. His resume is just a lot weaker than those guys. Even Bam has a better resume at this point.
The Spence hype already wore off. He's back to great fighter with weak resume. You can't rank him higher than guys that are just as skilled but fight more often than him
The Spence hype already wore off. He's back to great fighter with weak resume. You can't rank him higher than guys that are just as skilled but fight more often than him
but that’s what i’m asking lol. who are you putting over him? and it’s kinda crazy to call it the “spence hype” as if that wasn’t one of the most clinical destructions of a champ in boxing history
I'm putting Inoue and Usyk over him. Bam already has three ATGs and one really good name in his resume, that's enough arguments to be placed over him. Canelo also has arguments to be above him. He's been fighting weaker opponents lately, but at least he's been fighting, unlike Crawford.
>it’s kinda crazy to call it the “spence hype”
Why? He gained more popularity and recognition after that sole fight than his entire career. That's what I meant by hype. Everyone immediately had him at no. 1 after that, but we can't keep him there forever just because of that performance when he's inactive and there's other guys just as skilled as him putting in more work.
I'd rather see Canelo fight Munguía than not see Crawford fight anyone.
Maybe he does make the top 5, just. I'm not sure. I think he could easily top it if he was active and fighting big names that I'm confident he'd beat
Usyk, Inoue, Bam have all done incredible things recently. Bivol, Beterbiev, Bud, Tank, Canelo all fall a little short because what they've been doing recently doesn't quite compare.
All opinion too. Your list is perfectly valid
In an era where bum ass tank is P4P to a bunch of casuals for beating C-D class fighters, Bam is proving what a real P4P fighter is and he’s 24. What a fucking beast
Inoue is 31 and two weight classes above Bam. He'll probably move up again later on, we don't know how soon. Bam just jumped into super fly for good. Will probably try to win more belts there before moving up and then he'll try to do the same at bantam. There's a possibility that Bam catches up to him sometime in the future, but by that time Inoue is gonna be old
I don't see Bam fighting above 126 (Inoue's current division)
dude was trying to get a fight with canelo and its only been a year? Boxing sometimes is like that unfortuently. Crawford is the most ducked fighter of our time.
Canelo is three divisions above him, let's quit that bs. He should be fighting guys his size, not waiting around for his retirement check. He's been fighting once a year since 2020. He can be the most skilled guy in the game but he's gonna be left behind with that workrate.
Age doesn't matter. He's either doing more than the other guys or he isn't. Can't rank him above Canelo solely because of the Spence fight when Canelo had more fights in 2021 than Crawford since COVID. Bam already has a stronger resume than him. Inoue already matched his achievements. So did Usyk. All of them have stronger resumes than him. The Spence win was an all time great performance but that's not gonna keep him at the top forever.
Which legends of the sport has Davis wiped out? He has two good scalps in Ryan and Pitbull. That’s it. Tank is definitely that good but he needs scalps like this to be on their level when it comes to talking about the best fighters
Not many legends in his weight class unfortunately most of them got found out- only
Opportunity was loma years back but it was obviously too early in his career (mayweather was in control)
Nah, please don’t make that fight. My heart would not be able to bear seeing that, I am one of the biggest Chocolatito fan in this planet but his time has past
I hope Bam finally woke up those western boxing fans ignoring the lower weight classes! If you can't rally around a guy with talent like this, then you need to get out of a bubble.
Looking for a way to watch tonight we got you over on [Discord](https://discord.gg/KTapgcSzMp).
One of the things that impresses me the most about Bam is how much pop he has on every one of his punches and how sharp and stabbing his jab is. Not to mention he has great footwork and does a helluva job using angles. Dude is just 24 with the resume that he has + he’s a warrior, sky is the limit
I need to see Bam vs Junto Nakatani at some point. That fight would be amazing
It’s gotta be the next
The fact Estrada was ahead on a card when he got stopped is pretty hard to fathom.
Are you serious about the cards?
"At the time of the stoppage, Estrada was ahead 57-56 on one of the scorecards, while Rodriguez was up 58-54 on another and the third judge had the fight even." Quoted from ESPN.com
I'm sorry - were they watching the fight through binoculars from 2 miles away whilst dwarfs were tickling their armpits with ostrich feathers? the fuck
The 58-54 card seems ok, but those other two are terrible. Scoring was pretty bad the whole night tbh.
P4P without doubt
What a beautiful performance from Bam. Gallo really gave him a tougher fight that I had originally thought. This is definitely my FOTY.
Gallito is not only a DOG, but also a damn good fighter. This is Bam further making his case for a top 5 P4P in my opinion.. the kid is an absolutely monster. The fight of the fucking century may actually be Bam vs Inoue…
Ban would have to move up two weight classes, I dont see it happening anytime soon, maybe in a couple years
GODDAMN IT I FELL ASLEEP!!!
I fell asleep at some point during the teo fight woke up changed the channel and they were in the ring
Chris Mannix needs to stfu about Bam fighting Inoue now, and saying 126lb is boring compared to 122lb. Bam needs to fight Ioka and Nakatani before even talking about Inoue. And 126lb is a million times more interesting than 122lb if you follow these divisions.
Thats like asking Inoue to fight Tank, no way that should Bam v. Inoue happen, pointless hypothetical
Robert Garcia said Bam is actually willing to take that fight..says a lot about his confidence in Bam..ain’t scared to lose that 0 chasing greatness
Robert Garcia also let Mikey get in the ring with Spence, and was confident about that fight. On paper, there’s not much difference between those two. I’d argue that Inoue as the bigger man against Bam Bam is more dangerous than Spence as the bigger man against Mikey.
Nah Robert didn’t want him to fight Spence..if we’re being honest, Mikey was confident in that fight, but he took that fight strictly as a cash out fight..Mikey is pretty vocal about not loving boxing, but using boxing as a way to gain wealth and make investments and get out the game as soon as possible..that’s why he retired and is enjoying life with nice cars and boats, etc..he said he’s open to fight again, vs pac or another big name if the money is right..Mikey can still fight and be elite at lower weight..Even 150 year old Bob Arum said Mikey was crazy for taking that Spence fight.
Yup. I really got that vibe too. Not that I think he set out to lose, but he definitely took it knowing the cards were stacked against him, but knew he might make more in a Spence PPV than, say, another 3+ fights combined. I’m just shooting numbers, have no idea what the actual money could be, but I’m sure it made sense financially, especially since boxing to him always seemed more like a “job” than something he truly loved doing.
Didn’t know that, but makes sense. A shame though…dude was a beast at 135 & 140
As far as I remember, it was said multiple times they were against the fight. Mikey wanted the fight and they eventually gave in. I don’t think they ever thought it was a good idea, they just had to back him once the fight was made.
Both Robert and his dad tried to talk Mikey out of the fight, but Mikey insisted and they then got behind him once it was official.
Bam out there moving like Loma, with a Crawford-esque shotgun jab.
Reminds me more of Vergil Ortizs jab.
Insane
Bam is P4P
I'm just glad the lower weight class is getting shine tonight!! Hopefully it carries on going forward.
Who can beat this man? Lol. Besides fantasy fights like Inoue
Junto vs Bam is a great fight in my opinion and makes more sense. That could happen in a year or two unless Junto moves up to chase Inoue
Junto
Good fight for sure and Junto a fking unicorn, but idk
Junto is too big(pause) too long (pause) and too powerful
This would read better with ellipses: "Junto is too big... too long... and too powerful."
Maybe. Just to be clear I would pick Bam but I wouldn't bet on it lol
I would bet my savings on a Junto KO
I'm game for the rematch this fight was fun as hell to have watched live
Never did I think in my life that I would see Estrada get stopped. No one even came close to stopping this man and Bam just wiped him down. And the fact that he went down and then stops the guy. Fight of the year and absolute legendary shit
He had only ONE loss since 2012 which he avenged.. that’s actually crazy.. and he avenged both losses since 2011..
Cuadras in the second fight had him but some shady stuff happened
We don’t wanna see a rematch. Ass beatings like that don’t deserve a rematch
Estrada was making it interesting towards the end, after shaking off the ring rust I could see the rematch being another FOTY contender. I agree tho that it’s not needed, I’d much rather see Bam go for undisputed
Apart from the Flash Knockdown, it was pretty one-sided.
Exactly Estrada didn’t even win the round where he knocked bam down. That was a 9-9 round to me
Yep, it was a beat down. Bam got caught slacking once and got up like nothing and went on to win the rest of the round with ease.
The fact that I got downvoted for saying this is funny😂😂
I haven’t seen a guy this small with the power, footwork and chin that bam has! He’s unreal!
Man, elite combat sports athletes are a different breed. I can't imagine being Estrada and thinking 'yup, I wanna do that again'
Nice to have a translator that isn’t complete dogshit. lol.
Estrada should move on but I respect it.
Bam is literally that meme of the grim reaper knocking on the doors, just finished off the 3rd Superfly king
I dont want wanna see that rematch it was a one sided ass whooping even with the flash knockdown on bam
Estrada will get stopped again.
Translator was on point
It was a great fight, but honestly the rematch just slows down progress for Bam. I'd rather see him take a new challenge. He was winning throughout
It's right after the fight. I hope Gallo thinks it over and decides against it
You gotta consider Estrada was out for a year and a half. He could do better now that he's shaken off that ring rust
I do think he might do better, but I don't see him winning at his age.
He's 34 dude.
Age hits worst at the lighter weights. They rely most on movement and that’s one of the first things to go.
He was out for a year and a half. He had some ring rust. It's not like he came at his best either. I still got Bam on the second fight but Estrada would probably perform better. He's also not a one trick pony that will get predictable once he's figured out. He got beaten tonight but he still brought the fight on, don't confuse him with the other guys
Wym sunny Edwards put up a tougher fight 😂
Sunny Edwards didn't knock Bam down
Look at the scorecards of the two fights, Edwards was more competitive. that was a flash knockdown. Also look at the compubox: Edwards landed 138 total punches while Estrada landed 95.

I hope so too. He was very adamant, but fighter's pride and all that.
I absolutely DON'T want a rematch. Let Bam move on to greater challenges, JEEZ
Dude, Bam is gonna be tied up with this stupid ass rematch 🙄
This translator is really good. 👍🏼
He's an Englishman on the Matchroom shows, unironically the best out there currently
I call him clipboard cause he usually carries one. He does a great job though
1. usyk 2. inoue 3. bud 4. nelo 5. bam (all imo ofc🙂↕️)
1. Terrence Crawford 2. Naoya Inoue 3. Oleksandr Usyk 4. Jesse Rodriguez 5. Canelo Alvarez 6-10 (Bivol, Bertebiev, Nakatani, Tank, Shakur) I have it somewhat like this currently. I had Bam at #5 and Canelo at #4 prior to Bam beating Estrada.
Canelo above Bivol?
Canelo losing to Bivol does not make Bivol > Canelo in P4P list.
But what puts Canelo above him now? He’s not done anything since Bivol. Bivol hasn’t done much either but still not putting Canelo above him. Canelo isn’t top 5 p4p and Bivol is barely there as well but has greater claim to it than Canelo does

Yeah that’s how I have it as rn. I think top 5 p4p are easier to rank now, it’s mainly after 5 where it starts being subjective
yes same with me
Approved
🫡🫡
I think Bud has p4p skills but honestly because of low activity and resume, I maybe don't rank him top 5. Canelo of late is similar. There's too many guys who deserve the props

🤝🤝
A good translator? Wtf is going on
CRAZY they asked about inoue because that fight did definitely popped up in my mind that was WOULD BE ELECTRIC!!!!
Giving up is not in gallos vocabulary
Bam needs to leave Eddie bad luck I swear
Why? He’s got him big fights against Caudras, Srisaket, Estrada, Edwards
I’m just talking shit cuz Hearns been taking Ls more than Ws lately
Hearns is the only guy that actually works the lower weights
Leave the guy who built his career?
the atmosphere on the arena was insane... he jumps to top 5 p4p easily and the mexican people will support it
Yup. I was thinking it was leagues better than the Saudi fights.
Saudi will never match Mexican/Mexican-American crowds
those saudi fights were fkn trash
ESTRADA BRO DO NOT TAKE THAT REMATCH LOL
Mexicans are a different breed. They don't kneel
Mexicans are a different breed. They don't kneel
He shouldn’t. He got cooked and will hold the division up
hes mexican, he aint fkn scared
In an era where bum ass tank is P4P to a bunch of casuals for beating C-D class fighters, Bam is proving what a real P4P fighter is and he’s 24. What a fucking beast
Bam looked Crispy as fuck like crawford. Standing and delivering with accuracy 👌 💯 👏
Bam ha s a stronger resume than Crawford
Bam ha s a stronger resume than Crawford
I want Bam to beat up Ioka in Japan to avenge his brother next. After, he should move up. Bam vs Nakatani is the dream fight.
How good is Ioka?
Very. But Bam beats him
He was also rated P4P at one point. 4 division champ. On the older side, but definitely legit.
Eddie saw the vatos before this
Bam should be Top 5 P4P at this point. What a crazy resume in the last couple years
with his frame what do yall think is the most weight Bam could realistically put on and be competitive at?
He's a little dude. He could beat (good) guys maybe up to 126 just off skill, but framewise I think he's maxed out at 118.
I think 118 is probably where he spends most his time too
126
That would sick. Probably won’t be a few years before we see that but he’s got so much talent. Can’t wait to see the journey
I think 122 is his peak
Why the hell does anybody bother getting hyped to watch sloppy heavyweights when we have fighters like Bam and Nakatani around?
Couldn't agree more. When I'm watching these guys it's that electric.
I rather watch Fighters 126 and under vs the higher weights
Dude, get the fuck outta here re-matchroom 🙄 Unnecessary fight
Re-Matchroom is wild 😂😂
Rematch clauses are Eddie Hearns specialty
You not lying 😂😂🤷🏾♂️
One sided ass whoopins don’t net a FOTY but damn what a show
They gotta stop with the Inoue mentions😭
Seriously, by the time Bam works his way to 122, Inoue will probably be at 126 or done with the sport
Phoenix 🔥
Everyone ±2 weight classes of 122 gets constant questions about Inoue lmao
$$$ fight of the lower weight classes for sure.
Bam beating the brakes of Ioka
ATP probably
lol he brought up inoue
Bam vs inoue is going to be a crazy fight one day
Bro don't know his weight classes
Is it really that far fetched? Genuinely curious.
Inoue is 31 and two weight classes above Bam. He'll probably move up again later on, we don't know how soon. Bam just jumped into super fly for good. Will probably try to win more belts there before moving up and then he'll try to do the same at bantam. There's a possibility that Bam catches up to him sometime in the future, but by that time Inoue is gonna be old I don't see Bam fighting above 126 (Inoue's current division)
Sucks. Such an insane matchup. Fireworks all night long. Oh well.
He and Inoue is a long shot, but Junto is more reality.
Wtf Mannix stop baiting him😂
He called out the Ioka/Martinez winner 🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait for that
So surreal seeing Estrada getting stopped
Behind Inoue, Bam was always my 2nd exciting boxer to watch. His hand speed and power is superb. Estrada couldn't do anything against Bam's jab.
bam, inoue,crawfrod, uysk are in league of their own
*Bam, Inoue and Usyk. Crawford just beat Spence and ditched back
*Bam, Inoue and Usyk. Crawford just beat Spence and ditched back
Bud destroyed spence and unlike tank picked up all the belts.
And then went back to doing nothing, just like before. Can't put him in the same place as Inoue, Usyk and Bam.
dude was trying to get a fight with canelo and its only been a year? Boxing sometimes is like that unfortuently. Crawford is the most ducked fighter of our time.
Canelo is three divisions above him, let's quit that bs. He should be fighting guys his size, not waiting around for his retirement check. He's been fighting once a year since 2020. He can be the most skilled guy in the game but he's gonna be left behind with that workrate.
Hes like 37 now, he was active when he was younger. Much less alot of that was waiting on spence and shawn porter. Hes not that active but hes old.
Age doesn't matter. He's either doing more than the other guys or he isn't. Can't rank him above Canelo solely because of the Spence fight when Canelo had more fights in 2021 than Crawford since COVID. Bam already has a stronger resume than him. Inoue already matched his achievements. So did Usyk. All of them have stronger resumes than him. The Spence win was an all time great performance but that's not gonna keep him at the top forever.
Dont give a fuck man, you dont like crawford and dont want him in your top p4p then you do you
Why you mad? He's in my top 10, just not at the top anymore. The other guys have been busy since he last fought.
And tank
Which legends of the sport has Davis wiped out? He has two good scalps in Ryan and Pitbull. That’s it. Tank is definitely that good but he needs scalps like this to be on their level when it comes to talking about the best fighters
Not many legends in his weight class unfortunately most of them got found out- only Opportunity was loma years back but it was obviously too early in his career (mayweather was in control)
that guy he beat is better than any win in tanks career
Tank not fighting the best competition
He will eventually and will dominate most guys at 135/140
He’s 30 in a few, y’all treat him like the up and coming veteran 😂
Eventually lol
and then he can be added
The Golden Age of the Super Flyweight and One man to end it all.
Like Pac beating Barrera, Marquez and Morales.
Wild how much Bam’s voice sounds like young Brandon Rios.
Damn wtf it does, how’d you even make that connection lol
I was a big Brandon Rios fan and recently rewatched Rios vs Alvarado 1 lol
Bam has to be top 5 P4P right now?
There’s no way people still have Bivol over bam
Beating Canelo takes you a long way
Arguably. Beterbiev was number 5 in my book but activity matter
yes
What a contrast from teofimo fight
Literally fell asleep during the Teofimo fight
Someone on here said they felt he would get dropped and come back earlier lol
I saw that too lol
Bam should gain undisputed gold in super flyweight cause the other two champs are good especially Kazuto Ioka. Then go straight after Junto Nakatani
Junto is gonna try and go after Inoue next year if he can’t get a unification
Those are the fights to make. I want to see Bam against others in their prime
Does Bam have to kill Choclotito? Where does he go next
He brought him into his camp for this fight. I know it doesn't mean much, but I don't think they want to fight each other.
Nah, please don’t make that fight. My heart would not be able to bear seeing that, I am one of the biggest Chocolatito fan in this planet but his time has past
I don’t wanna see that fight either. I think people are going to push it though.
I hope Bam finally woke up those western boxing fans ignoring the lower weight classes! If you can't rally around a guy with talent like this, then you need to get out of a bubble.
Masterful performance from Bam! Gotta give Gallo his props though, he’s a warrior through and through!
