Boxing Career

Rodriguez had a previous unblemished record of 36-0 with 34 by knockout. His first round knockout ratio surpassed every heavyweight in history to date. During training for the first of his 2011 fights, Rodriguez survived a brutal knife attack, the result of which was a near-death experience and a facial scar that extends from his ear to his chin. Shortly thereafter, he also suffered an injury to his knee, sidetracking what was intended to be an career-defining year. [1]His career eventually ended with a 37–2 record. David Rodriguez held the Texas Heavyweight title, New Mexico Heavyweight title, NABU Heavyweight title, NABA Heavyweight title as well as two of the WBC belts. After 16 months of retirement Nino finally returned November 21, 2015, with a 42-second 1st round win KO over Miguel Domingues of Brazil 23–4 with 21 knockouts.

He is also an anti-bullying key note speaker and best selling author of the book "When The Lights Go Out".

He uses humor and PG-13 language to inform and entertain his audiences. His YouTube channel has 245K subscribers and his Rumble channel has over 3,400 subscribers as of September 2022.
