PHOENIX – Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez and Juan Francisco Estrada made weight Friday morning at the official weigh-in for the junior bantamweight title Saturday at Footprint Center.
Both were at the limit, 115.0 pounds each, at a weigh-in conducted by the Arizona Boxing & MMA Commission behind closed doors at a downtown Phoenix hotel, multiple sources told Boxing Scene.
A ceremonial weigh-in was scheduled for later Friday at an old building in the warehouse district south of Footprint Center.
The 24-year-old Rodriguez (19-0, 12 KOs), from San Antonio, is favored to beat the 34-year-old Estrada (44-3, 28 KOs), the son of a Mexican fisherman who grew up in Puerto Penasco, a town about 215 miles south of Phoenix.
