Comments Thread For: Rodriguez on Miguel Cotto: It's Now or Never For Me!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Delvin Rodriguez recognizes that he’s 33 years old, 0-2 in world title fights and running out of time to make what he had hoped out of his boxing career.

That’s what makes Rodriguez so appreciative of getting a shot at Miguel Cotto on Oct. 5 in Orlando, Fla.

“The way I’m looking at this fight is like it’s now or never for me,” Rodriguez said during a news conference Tuesday at Amway Center to officially announce the 12-round, 154-pound fight, which will be broadcast by HBO. “I fought for the world title twice and I came [up] short, a little bit. … I’m motivated more than ever because facing a fighter like Miguel Cotto, who’s been fighting the best in the division forever, a true champion, a true warrior, it’s something that motivates me.

Rodriguez has had countless opportunities to rise above ESPN level. I give it to him, he's the king of Friday Night Fights though

It's gonna be never then. Rodriguez is getting stomped.

I hope this does not turn into something similar to the Cotto-Trout fight. Rodríguez is not nearly as skilled as Trout but, from what I have seen, the guy is strong and likes to fight toe to toe, plus he is, considerably, bigger than Cotto. This is a dangerous fight.

He's bigger, but negates his length and reach because he fights close and hunched over. Cotto will get him to the body and keep the jab in his face. Delvin isn't going to win this fight.
