rodriguez is terrible. look at his other fights where he arguably lost to rosinsky and aaron pryor jr, or his last fight where he barely beat a bum. those are more telling than catching grachev cold. beating grachev is for sure his best win but grachev is a light heavy and this fight was at 170. draino alert!
Didn't watch the full Rosisnky fight but I remember thinking Aaron Pryor jr won that fight.
he's been ko'd many times. dont think so. rodriguez is overrated. he couldn't stop aaron pryor jr, roskinky, or that last bum he fought. he caught grachev cold or drained.
i agree, da bomb has a chin made of inpenetrable steel that not even the dynamite in la bomba's fists could do any harm to it.
it says that don george has an iron chin.

First KD and the stoppage both included shots to the back of the head.
I'm not usually too hard on guys for hitting behind the head because it usually has a lot to do with the other fighter turning his head or body too much, but Denis didnt move his head at all, he just covered up
What was so special about Edwin's style though? Just the fast hands? Fluid combinations coming at the end of long arms? The body shots?
Don't really know but Froch said this about him:
“Sparring with Edwin was brilliant. He is very fast, can punch with both hands, and stays in there. I feel he has far more natural ability and speed than Abraham; big respect for Edwin Rodriguez because he got me ready for this.”
Grachev got caught in the back of the head and never recovered.
Wide hooks to the back of the head
