Fighter Matchups and Profiles
This is a classic southpaw vs. orthodox matchup in the bantamweight division (118 lbs limit), where Cintron’s technical finesse and footwork could counter Rodriguez’s power and pressure. Cintron holds advantages in height (5’7″ vs. 5’5″) and reach (70.5″ vs. 66.5″), potentially allowing him to control distance.
Rodriguez, however, brings more experience and a higher knockout rate, making him dangerous in close quarters.
