Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez vs Phumelela Cafu prediction

Cafu has power in his fists and has made his intention clear heading into the fight (he wants to finish 'Bam'). The South African beat Kosei Tanaka via split decision in his last fight.

Rodriguez, meanwhile, is coming off a third round finish against Pedro Guevara. Despite being 25, he is one of the most skillful fighters in boxing, possessing exceptional footwork and fast hands.

While his last fight ended inside three, Rodriguez has recently approached his fights differently, systematically breaking opponents down before piling on pressure in the final third.

Cafu might have an impressive start, but 'Bam' should eventually take over and begin frustrating Cafu. That could leave openings for Rodriguez to exploit, which he should take advantage of and walk away with a late stoppage win.

Winner: Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez via knockout
