Estrada (44-3, 28 KOs) looked thin and toned on stage, indicating that he has cut a lot of weight to defend his title against 24-year-old ‘Bam’ Rodriguez. (19-0, 12 KOs).

It’s no surprise that Estrada, 34, looked tired because he’s been inactive for two years and hasn’t been forced to train for fights to lose weight. It will be interesting to see if Estrada’s move down to 115-lb will affect his performance on Saturday night.

When Estrada is at his best, he’s almost impossible to beat. The 2021 version of Estrada beating everyone in front of him would be a nightmare for Bam Rodriguez, but we don’t know if that fight is on the cards yet.

“I think it will be because of my experience. I have had 47 fights, and I think that will be an important factor. I am confident in the way I have prepared for this fight,” said Juan Francisco Estrada speaking to Matchroom Boxing at the scale today.

“We will enter the knockout stage and try to win in a satisfactory way. That’s the plan.

“I talked to Estrada today, and there is a calmness in him. He was fired again,” said Chris Mannix on DAZN Boxing, talking about Juan Francisco Estrada.

“You have watched the fights of Bam Rodriguez against Carlos Cuadras and Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. He was part of Bam’s fight against Sunny Edwards, and I have to tell you, he wasn’t impressed by most of them.

“He believes that Bam is a good fighter, and he believes that even at 34 years old, he is a great fighter. That’s what we’re going to find out, maybe sooner because it’s been a long time. He is 34 years old. He didn’t look as good in the second half of the fight [Roman ‘Chocolatito] Gonzalez [in December 2022].”
