Probably a weight thing. Bare in mind IBF has a rehydrate rule too.

Either that or negotiation stance.

Doesn’t apply in unifications.

Was Hoping to see Christian Medina fight against Juan Francisco Estrada (#1 in the WBO rankings) in 2026, with the winner fighting Bam Rodriguez afterwards.

Couldn’t Bam fight Takuma Inoue first?

Pretty sure the rehydration clause doesn’t apply with unifications. Unified rules and all that.

It’s a weight thing.
Bam gets pretty heavy in between fights.

So far the weight cut hasn’t affected his performance.
But him and his team probably has an issue with making Superfly.

Why would he go up to face another non-star when he’s 1 belt away from undisputed ? Is he having trouble making weight ? I just don’t see the logic in passing up this opportunity just because he can’t fight for the IBF next.
