The judges aren\u2019t going to do him any favors with a big unification fight already scheduled for Jesse Rodriguez against\u00a0 IBF champion Fernando Martinez on November 22nd in Riyadh.

That\u2019s why I\u2019m coming for Bam\u2019s head. I got to make sure I stop him to just to make sure I prove to everyone how great I am.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe looks focused. I\u2019ve been saying that. He doesn\u2019t think I belong here. Tomorrow, he\u2019s going to see why I am the truth. To everyone back home, I promise I\u2019m coming home with the belt.
