Bam by late round stoppage over Pumita. I think Cafu might well give Bam more issues and run him closer than Martinez based on styles.
Bam vs Martinez has the makings of a potential FOTY candidate. Even though Bam is more favored given his superior skills and better pop I still wont count out Martinez's will to win and all out aggression. Should be a fun one while it lasts.
Malik Scott says to Bam-Rod that he reminds him of Salvador Sanchez (punch selection), JCC Sr. (pressure), Ricardo Lopez (angles) and then he asks him who he studies. Bam-Rod replies he doesn't study anyone anymore but that he studied Loma and Nonito a lot when he was coming up and that he definitely got his angles and footwork inspiration from Loma. This is music to my ears and is beautiful to hear. The next generation of greats openly expressing their admiration for The Matrix and being inspired by him and his otherworldly skills and unique style. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm actually bawling my eyes out as I type this Timestamped This content is protected
