    I favor Inoue right now but it’s boxing anything can happen. One things for certain win or lose against Inoue he’s certainly worthy of being there in the ring with him. Hes got a the talents and skills to give Inoue a tough outing.

    Not sure why Bam is getting criticism here. He fights his first fight at 118 for a title, has a tougher than expected opponent who came to fight and then Bam makes the necessary adjustment to knock him down in the 5th then finish in the next. If anything that shows Bams ability to fight through adversity and still finding a way to finish the fight strong in the end.

    People don’t want to admit it but he’s truly an elite level fighter with immense skill. Despite getting hit more often than expected he still manages to end the fight in explosive fashion. Maybe not the best named opponent but still an exciting performance nonetheless. Props to Vargas for hanging in there for as long as he could against a talent like Bam.

    Good fight, but a clear win for Turhan. Tellez cried a lot, but stopped short of a tantrum. So good for her too, she fought well.

    Quite an interesting fight. Vargas did a really good job, and made Bam look vulnerable ( and perhaps even limited ?), before Bam stepped it up and took care of business before things got out of hand. Probably most would agree that he can't take that kind of abuse from the Monster and live to tell the tale, but it's a different fighter and a different fight. Bit of a test for Bam, at least.

    Its hard for him to get credit because hes beat some fan favorites and hes now linked with others so people dont like to appreciate him. For me hes right up there.

    Triggered? You're questioning a fighters man-hood because he simply and humbly said he would decide with his team who is next.

    He's not talking ****, his fans are not talking **** saying he would easily whoop Inoue....

    ... you're the hard ass who questioned his manhood because he didn't say he's moving up divisions to fight Inoue..

    Looks like you're the one that's triggered

    There are that many guys called Vargas in boxing that I don’t bother watching any fight involving one.

    Bam looked good tonight but I don't think he can beat Inoue

    Watching the fight back I think the commentators were making it out like Vargas was doing better than he actually was

    A smart performance from Cardenas, who this time clearly wins against Martinez, who is more powerful but much less accurate.

    Rodriguez confirms himself as one of the best p4p fighters by knocking out the very good Vargas and thus winning the world title in the third weight class, Bantamweight. For Rodriguez is being talked about a match against fellow star Inoue, it would mean a new weight class move for Bam, and this time he'd be facing a great champion, we'll see. Inoue-Rodriguez would certainly be a huge event.
