Pre-fight quotes:
Rodriguez
“This fight is going to be exciting,” said Rodriguez. “The sky is the limit for me; anybody, anywhere.
“He’s a very good fighter, technical, skillful, fast, smart. I knew one day down the line, we would meet up, and here it is.
“He hasn’t been in with someone with my skills and with the power on top of that. I don’t care what it takes. I’m going to win and I’m taking his belt.
“I’m taking his ‘0’ and I’m going to knock him out.”
Edwards
“I don’t have to overthink it; I know the best of me is capable of beating anyone at this weight and the weights above,” said Edwards.
“After I beat Bam, I feel there’s a lot more still to come. That’s the first step: unified champion of the world. It sounds good.
“Bam has quick hands, good feet, and heavy hands. He’s a great fighter, but he’s not been in with me yet.
“I was made for this. I’ve never had anything else; I’ve never done anything else; I’ve never really wanted anything else.
“I don’t do it for anyone, to make anyone proud. If anything, the compliments and the flattery make me feel uneasy.
“Everywhere I’ve gone throughout my life, I’ve had people saying nothing but good things about how good I am.
