I'll be doing a follow-up interview with him tomorrow, does anyone have any questions or thoughts they'd like me to ask him?
I just finished an interview/article with Tomasz Adamek, really good stuff. Should be out first thing on Monday.
ask him if the reason why he was hesitant to throw combinations was due to; respect for Alvarez power, lack of conditioning or is he mentally still not over the Diaz tragedy
Tell him, to start fighting like a tall man, use his height
I wouldn't do that because it's not really my business how he fights. Plus I don't give free advice lol
How has what happened in the Diaz fight impacted his life and his boxing career?
I touched on that in my last interview with Rodriguez a few days ago.
"I don't underestimate anybody. He's only been beaten once and that was by the champion Joshua Clottey. I gotta keep my eyes open and be aware at all times. I'm very confident that I'll do what it takes to win. No matter who gets in my way, I'm going to get them out of there."
Rodriguez's next fight approaches as the situation from two matches ago continues to unfold. On February 23, it was reported by the San Antonio Express-News that Oscar Diaz, who slipped into a coma after his fight with Rodriguez in July, was discharged from a local hospital. Initially the prognosis was grim but with continued treatment, the boxer is now on the steady road to recovery.
"It's great news," said Rodriguez. "In the beginning of this situation, everybody was telling that he was fine, it was OK. Then I spoke to the doctor and he told me he wasn't even responding. He said he open his eyes for a little bit but then go back to sleep. This time I confirmed that he's responding to people, he's talking.
"It's a small step but he's a warrior."
You can't be serious?!?!?!
Can you use your :banana: "journalistic" :banana: skills to ask him this one question...
D-Rod, since you are not an elite fighter in any sense of the word, where do you see yourself in two years? As a gate-keeper or a stepping stone?
