Why would he go up to face another non-star when he\u2019s 1 belt away from undisputed ? Is he having trouble making weight ? I just don\u2019t see the logic in passing up this opportunity just because he can\u2019t fight for the IBF next. <\/p>\n
You should try reading the article, it’s explained.<\/p>\n
Willibaldo Garcia is the owner of the IBF strap, and will defend his title against Kenshiro Teraji on December 27 as part of the \u201cNight of The Samurai\u201d card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The winner has been ordered to face mandatory challenger Andrew Moloney in their first defense, and Moloney is refusing to step aside, meaning Rodriguez would be forced to wait for \u201cundisputed\u201d.<\/p>\n
“Undisputed” is a nonsense concept anyway. There are better rated guys at super-fly than the IBF belt holder.<\/p>\n

Probably a weight thing. Bare in mind IBF has a rehydrate rule too.<\/p>\n
Either that or negotiation stance.<\/p>\n
Doesn’t apply in unifications.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
Couldn’t Bam fight Takuma Inoue first?<\/p>\n

Pretty sure the rehydration clause doesn\u2019t apply with unifications. Unified rules and all that.<\/p>\n

It’s a weight thing.
\nBam gets pretty heavy in between fights.<\/p>\n
So far the weight cut hasn’t affected his performance.
\nBut him and his team probably has an issue with making Superfly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CoverdaleSun Nov 30, 2025, 7:10 PM UTC Why would he go up to face another non-star when he\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291934,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,118236,88992,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-291933","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-christian-medina","10":"tag-jesse-rodriguez","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291933"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291933\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
