 Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez profile

Rodriguez, from San Antonio, Texas, remains undefeated as a professional, winning all 20 of his fights and stopping three of his last five rivals inside the distance.

In his last fight in June, the 24-year-old defeated Juan Francisco Estrada by knockout in the seventh round in their WBC World Super Flyweight and The Ring Junior Bantamweight championship fight at the Footprint Center, Phoenix.

The WBC super flyweight king is now being talked about in conversations around the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, with Rodriguez ranked as high as seventh on The Ring's list of the best fighters in the sport.

Rodriguez is already a two-weight world champion and is in his second reign with the WBC super flyweight belt, with his record now standing at 20 pro fights unbeaten.

Bam has proved himself to be a versatile boxer, well equipped to adapt to the needs of any fight, and his star looks set to remain on the rise.

Pedro Guevara profile

It is almost a decade since Guevara held the WBC belt at light flyweight but the 35-year-old veteran cannot be taken lightly.

Last time out he defeated Andrew Moloney for the WBC interim super flyweight title, sending his opponent into retirement and bagging this big bout for himself.

The Mexican has defeated world champions like Akira Yaegashi, Ganigan Lopez and Oswaldo Novoa in the past, while his reverses have come against proven talents like John Riel Casimero and Yu Kimura.

He has yet to be stopped in his career and has gone the distance in his last six fights.

He is, in essence, a world class boxer in his own right, but he's 10 years older than his rising star opponent and has to prove he can go the distance with the younger man.
