Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez unified the world crown of Super Flyweight in Frisco, Texas, when he added WBO belt to his title WBC from the 10th round of Phumelel Cafu on Saturday.
Rodriguez (22-0, 15 KO) was recently in November last year, stopping Pedro Guevary in three to defend his WBC title, while Cafu in South Africa (11-1-3, 8 KO) went to Japan to win the WBO title in the last task, he made an precise decision against Kosea Tanaka.
Cafu fought very carefully, remaining almost exclusively on the ropes in the first two rounds, answering only on the countertop.
Rodriguez was banking these rounds, as well as the third and fourth on pure contribution, although his eye showed signs of damage at the beginning.
The guest continued his tactics, but he brought him a slight success, although he had a dazzling seventh round in which he landed to the body “BAM” in a good skutka.

It was a false dawn when Rodriguez began to rotate the screw, and Cafu was hurt in the body in ninth place before the end only later.
With her right hand, almost the 26-year-old had on board when he wandered around the ring, and when Rodriguez went to the murder, they both struggled on the canvas.

They got up, but the corner of the cafus had a towel in his hand, and the fight was waving.
Rodriguez is now addressed to IBF Titlist, Fernando Martinez November 22 in Saudi Arabia.

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).
