Daniel Barrera believes that Jesse Rodriguez has the skills to dethrone Juan Francisco Estrada when the pair clash this weekend, live on DAZN.
The super-flyweight fight is one of the best bouts this year and it’s the opportunity for Rodriguez to enhance his impressive record against a modern great.
Victory for Rodriguez will see him become world champion in another weight class and Barrera will be watching closely.
The highly respected contender is hoping to compete at the highest level one day, and he’s had his say on two fighters he admires greatly.
“Obviously, Estrada is one of the best in the division, he is a veteran in the sport,” said Barrera when speaking to BoxingScene.
“If Bam took his training camp seriously and was 100 per cent dedicated, I feel like Bam can pull it off just because Estrada is getting on the older side.
“Estrada will still be a tough fighter regardless, but I think Bam has the skills to pull this fight off.”
