Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez vs. Antonio Vargas – results and post-fight report
Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez became a three-weight world champion in Arizona, winning the WBA bantamweight title with a dominant sixth-round knockout of Antonio Vargas.
Rodriguez (24-0, KO17) was previously a flyweight and super flyweight world champion and last dropped in November 2025, defeating Fernando Martinez in ten rounds to defend his WBC and WBO super flyweight crowns.
Vargas (19-2-1 KO11) won the WBA interim belt in 2024 and was promoted to full champion, but his first defense in Japan ended in a draw last July when he and Daigo Higa could not be separated.
Rodriguez used his speed and legs to get off to a good start on this one, his jab went well and he also had a nice uppercut that landed on target.
Vargas wobbled in the second, a powerful left hand did damage, and Rodriguez also unloaded with huge shots.
Vargas fired back and the combination landed at the end of the frame.
Vargas had a solid third, with his own head and body landing combinations, but Bam came back, supporting Vargas in the fourth and forcing the champion to take some punches.
This marked the beginning of the enda powerful left hand dropped Vargas in the fifth throw, and Vargas was now in survival mode, landing another uppercut before boldly ending the round.
In the sixth, it was over, a huge left hand rocking Vargas and a right-left combination, leaving Vargas on his knees and then on his back for a countout.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
