Trainer Robert Garcia has shifted his proposed timeline to March for a potential clash between Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez and Naoya Inoue. Garcia stated that Inoue's preparation for a move up to the 126-pound featherweight division is posturing rather than backing out, insisting that a deal can easily be made if Inoue's management reaches out.
