In the early morning of February 1, 2022, Beijing time, according to the famous boxing journalist Michael Benson, because the former WBC super ropeweight world boxing champion and Thai boxer Srisaket Sor Rungvisai was forced to withdraw from the WBC super ropeweight world boxing championship originally scheduled to be held this weekend, so the event organizers temporarily found a substitute boxer to come to the rescue. If nothing else, young American boxer Jesse Rodriguez will replace Sri Sackter Sol Lengerwirt this weekend, battling former World Champion Carlos Cuadras for the vacant WBC Super Ropeweights Gold Belt in Phoenix, Arizona.
After receiving this news, the author confirmed that because Jesse Rodriguez had previously played ropeweight competitions, I did not believe that the young boxer would cross the level to fight the world boxing championship. But this world champion battle may also be a good opportunity for the 22-year-old young boxer to test his strength at a higher and heavier level.
However, the experienced former super ropeweight world champion Carlos Cuadlas will also become the most powerful opponent Jesse Rodriguez has faced in his professional boxing career. Carlos Cuadlas, 33, has completed a total of 44 matches since his professional boxing debut in May 2008, with a record of 39 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw. In May 2014, Carlos Cuadlas defeated Sri Sacte Saul Lungover to win the WBC Premier World Boxing Championship and completed six World Championships. It wasn't until September 10, 2016, that Carlos Cuadlas was defeated by super-rope superstar Romain Gonzalez and ousted from the world boxing throne.
Carlos Cuadlas has competed in eight World Boxing title battles so far, and in two of his losses, he has played against the strongest duo in the super ropeweight today, Romain Gonzalez and Juan Francisco Estrada. It can be seen that Carlos Cuadlas's strength belongs to the top existence in the super ropeweight.
In comparison, Jesse Rodriguez's 14-14 wins are a bit inferior, because Jesse Rodriguez has not fought the World Boxing Championship so far, and the strength of his opponents in the past is slightly mediocre. Fortunately, Carlos Cuadlas has not played in a year and a half, and the current state is still unknown. So, I can't say that Jesse Rodriguez had no chance of winning the weekend.
Jesse Rodriguez played just one game last year. In October last year, Jesse Rodriguez defeated Mexican boxer Jose Burgos by KO, and Jesse Rodriguez also received widespread attention for winning such a match. Just the other day, Jesse Rodriguez had just signed a multi-game promotion agreement with Eddie Hearn's Athletic Room Boxing Promotion Company. When the signing of the athletic room boxing promotion company was officially announced on January 28, Jesse Rodriguez also claimed that he hoped to use Eddie Hearn's huge influence in professional boxing to participate in the world championship battle as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, in just the past 3 days, Jesse Rodriguez's wish has come true.
By the way, the organizers of the weekend tournament have made it clear that the Thai boxer Sri Sakt Sol Lungerwisai, who retired due to illness, is absolutely not infected with COVID-19, so the staff responsible for receiving him at the venue of the competition and having contact with him do not have to worry about their health.
