The head coach of the WBC world champion in the second flyweight (up to 52.2 kg) Jesse “Bama” Rodriguez (16-0, 11 KOs) would like to see his client in the division a little lower.
While there is a chance to dry, you need to cover 112 pounds, says Robert Garcia, and fight there either with WBC champion Julio Cesar Martinez (18-2, 14 KOs) or IBF belt holder Sunny Edwards (18-0, 4 KOs)
“I want him to drop down to 50.8kg and challenge one of the champions. 112 pounds is where Jesse belongs,” Garcia said.

The American coach “Bama” named the priority options for the ward.
“The first option is Martinez. He is Mexican and owns the WBC belt, but he had problems gaining weight and canceling fights, Robert argues. — Here in the UK, there is a champion [Эдвардс], the owner of one of the titles. We would be happy to come here and challenge him.”
Rodriguez, who has moved up almost two weight classes for big fights, has won a decision over the past few months against Carlos Cuadras and scored Srisaket Sor Rungvisai.
