Bio
After no or a negligible amateur career ("The sweet science.com" denies amateur experience, Fightnews claims his record was 8-2) the muscular heavy-handed 6’5” 240 lbs Mexican Rodriguez turned pro in 1998. In 2003 he beat a certain Tommy Connelly (record 8-1) for the Texan state title, in 2004 Cruz Quintana (record 10-1). In 2005 he scored his only points win over just 4 rounds a distance which is very uncommon for a fighter who is a pro for seven years. On the undercard of Holyfield-Savarese in 2007 he managed to beat huge (276 lbs, 6’9”) southpaw Rick Dyer who just like him owned an inflated record at 13-0(13 Kos) coming in, however, none of Dyer's 13 opponents so far had a winning record. The TV commentators portrayed Rodriguez as a top prospect in their coverage and some websites (see link) have touted him, he was listed as #9 by ESPN.com as a heavyweight to watch under 30.
He is scheduled fight on September 12 2009 against Robert Davis.
He has scored 24 first round knockouts so far.
