A major positive to take from the shift in plans, however, is that it puts the winner on the same general timeline as lineal, Ring, WBA, WBC and WBO 115lbs champion Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez. As previously reported by BoxingScene, San Antonio’s Rodriguez, 23-0 (16 KOs), is targeting a June return as well – likely on June 13 in a one-off stop at bantamweight, as he would gladly drop back down if it meant fighting for the undisputed crown.
