Looking for to seeing Rodriguez against capulin.

Saucedo has some real power in that left hand.

That left hook is such a good punch. He throws it sharp and compact, and he finishes so many combinations with it.

Probably looks for it a little too much but that's a habit he hopefully breaks as he takes in tougher opponents and gets extended more.

Didn't jab enough early on, but in the third round he landed some really jarring jabs. Would like to see him do that earlier on.

Would like to see him sharpen his defense a little, but with his size and strength, he's got a bright future for a 20 year old.

At 6 feet tall, Michael Norato is a huge super feather, and being a southpaw he looks somewhat reminiscent of Paul Williams, and like Tall Paul he seems to have disdain for the right jab.

It makes for some good action, like it did tonight, but you'd would like to see fighters with that height use more of it to their advantage.

Saul Rodriuez has such natural punching power in both hands. Really impressed by how heavy his hands are.

He's got the kind of power that he doesn't need to go looking for the knockout for it to come.

Capulin is a tough young fighter, though. Rodriguez had him going in the 2nd round but he stayed in the fight and extended it.

One thing your notice is Rodrigiez doesn't have much of a jab to fall back on.

After the knockout didn't come he became too predictable. Too many times it was one punch at a time, at times he threw hook/cross combinations, but not boxing behind a jab, not varying up his attack much.

This was a good piece of match-making, getting him in with a limited but tough young opponent that wouldn't fold after getting hurt.

Good learning experience for Rodriguez, who went 8 rounds for the first time in his career.
