[STAY GOLD]

Saaiman by razor thin decision after he nut shots & eye pokes Rodriguez.

 

[loisestrad]

I know what you Saaiman

CRod.

Think he slowly emerges as a future contender.

Calm, talented kid.

Might have to work on his output at times, as he can spend long periods on the defensive, but can't see Saaiman beating him

 

[The XL]

Saaiman is a really powerful and athletic kid who doesn't fatigue at all. He's still green, but I think he has a lot of upside. He's a better prospect than Rosas is, that's for sure.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Great scrap, will probably back Rodriguez again as the dog.

 

[fortheo]

Will go with saaiman to keep it on the feet and out volume Rodriguez. Rodriguez will have the advantage on the mat, but I don't see his offensive wrestling as good as his defensive wrestling. Could be wrong though.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I thought Rodriguez looked awful against that child he fought.

Du Plessi and Saaiman always fight on the same cards, so this doesn't surprise me

I expect Saaiman to walk through Rodriguez

 

[Eternalwarriorking]

Saaiman seems a solid few levels above Rodriguez. I see him dominating the fight but complicating the decision with a few venomous groin kicks

 

[IneedSometop]

Over/under 2.5 stoppages due to fouls

 

[AmbassadorFright]

The African will be too much for Rodriguez

 

[HuskySamoan]

Love you Siver but this is a bad take. Saaiman is younger, has fought better competition and shown himself to be more talented thus far. I don't think Rodriguez has a serious chance but I hope the Raul Rosas Jr upset has people fooled. I'll definitely throw some money on Saaiman at near even or better odds.

That "child" is a future three weight champion

 

[amok attitude]

We'll see! I think JSP is easily the best opponent either have faced, and although Rodriguez lost, Saaiman is not yet at that level - but he's a talented kid and packs real power.

To be honest, I don't care too much who wins, as long as it's a great fight! Just be wary of powerful undefeated fighters getting overhyped.

Leaning Cameron. Will wait to see if Rodriguez blows off his weight cut again.

He won the fight easily so how did he look awful?

he could do zero damage despite having all the control for most of the fight. could not hurt the kid or do any effective damage at all.
