Love watching Rodriguez fight. If you look at his resume, the guy is grossly underrated. Legit skills for sure

Great fighter. People basically turned on him after the Inoue loss. His second L was a complete robbery too.

Thats probably one the widest points win in a world title fight I've seen in a while.. obviously nothing comes close to the 120-102 pacquiao got over algeri but this is pretty damn wide

Agreed, he lost to a generational talent and ppl basically counted him out. He def won the Gaballo fight.

Yeah some people automatically think guys like Rodriguez are no good because they lose to pound for pound level elite talent when in reality he's a solid world level fighter and is more than capable of winning titles. You can still be a really good fighter even when you're not the cream of the crop of the sport and that's what Rodriguez is

Really like this card, but it’s a shame Marcus Browne-Adrian Taylor isn’t being shown on the prelims

YouTube prelims-
8-0 (7 KOs) Michael Angeletti vs 8-0-2 (4 KOs) Jonathan Lopez Marcano

27-2-1 (18 KOs) Jose Benavidez Jr vs 36-15 (25 KOs) Sladan Janjanin (stopped 10 times)

16-3-1 (9 KOs) Damien Vasquez vs 12-8-2 (6 KOs) Jeronil Borres

Thanks for the link brother.

Rodriguez finally won the title back, after four long years of blood, sweat, and tears. This makes him the fifth champion from Puerto Rico, it looks like PR is making a resurgence in championship title holders. Let's keep it going, I believe there are a few more uncrowned champions in the mix.

Me and my wife were lucky enough to watch 8 of the 10 fights here at the MGM. Missed the first 2 bc they opened doors early at 430.

All 8 fights that we saw were f..ING awesome and entertaining. 6 hours of boxing just flew by.

A kid I took notice of in the prelims is David Whitmire. He ko'ed another dude in rd 1.

[clmags12]

Ouch. At home. Thats gotta be embarrassing. Ass up on the ropes.

I know the kid is young and hope he bounces back.

But man your quote is 100% accurate! definetly knew he was a local by crowd reaction when announced but dude laying on the ropes like that. Literally noises of peoples jaws hitting the floor all around me!
