Who’S 14-0, with 10 kos was an amateur standout uh, who literally has annihilated every opponent that has been put in front of him so far, uh he’s ultra talented.
He resides in san antonio, texas and um had recently he’s.
He split his fights uh between top rank and matron cards, but eddie hearn could not pass up the opportunity and had the uh, you know, had the opportunity to sign rodriguez to an exclusive contract which he has done uh.
You know the 22 year old, most recently fought october 16th uh battering jose burgos before knocking him out in round four uh and then in his previous fight in december 2020.
