Uncrowned has Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez vs. Phumelela Cafu live results, round-by-round updates, highlights, ring walks and start time for the Rodriguez vs. Cafu fight card on Saturday at The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. WBC champion Rodriguez and WBO champion Cafu collide in a much-anticipated unification bout headlined by one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world.
Rodriguez (21-0, 14 KOs) is Uncrowned’s No. 5 pound-for-pound boxer. A former WBO and IBF unified flyweight world champion, “Bam” has swiftly developed a cult following uncommon for a fighter in the 115-pound weight class. He captured the WBC super flyweight title in 2022 with a decision win over Carlos Cuadras, and regained the belt upon returning to the division with a thrilling seventh-round knockout of Juan Francisco Estrada last June.

Three successful title defenses over his two reigns include victories over Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Israel Gonzalez and Pedro Guevara.
Cafu (11-0-3, 8 KOs) heads into the biggest opportunity of his career looking to make the first defense of his WBO belt. The native South African won the title this past October with a split decision over Kosei Tanaka.
