Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez is the clear betting favourite to defeat Antonio Vargas in their bantamweight world title clash in Arizona on Saturday.
Bam Rodriguez moves up in weight to challenge WBA champion, Vargas at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, live on DAZN.
The 26-year-old looks to become a three-weight world champion and is favourite to do so at 1/25 with Bet365.
The reigning unified super flyweight world champion has won his last five in a row by stoppage including a 10th round knockout of Fernando Martinez last time out and the Texan is expected to keep that run going at 2/9.
Bam hasn’t won by decision since 2023 and a points victory is valued at 15/4.
Despite heading in as champion, Vargas is a significant underdog with Bet365 at 19/2 to hand his rival a first professional defeat.
The 29-year-old’s best chance of victory is seen by stoppage at 16/1, while a win over the distance is valued at 28/1.
The Texan was held to a draw in the first defence of his title against Daigo Higa last July and a second straight stalemate is priced at 25/1.
