The 24-year-old boxer beat the Mexican legend in May but there were valuable lessons to learn as being struck off his feat for the first time in his career during the sixth round proved why his coaches were right to caution him against getting “too comfortable”.

Jesse told Boxing News magazine of the incident: “I mean, it was a learning experience.

“Now that I’m looking back at it, I should have listened to my coaches.

“They told me not to get too comfortable, that’s what I did.

“That’s why I ended up on the canvas.

“I just need to learn the lesson, to pay attention, to not get lazy and just to listen to my coach at all times.”

After the fight, Estrada had signalled his intention to invoke the rematch clause in his contract but it hasn’t materialised, which Rodriguez respects.

He said: “Oh yeah, that’s what we were expecting [the immediate rematch] right after the fight.

“It was in the contract already to have the rematch.

“I mean, we waited like two months just to find out that he pulled out and that’s why we ended up here fighting Pedro Guevara.

“But it is what it is. That’s his decision. I gotta respect it at the end of the day.”
