Team Rodriguez Setting Sights on ‘Chocolatito’
José A. Acevedo of Free Agent Boxing Management wishes to congratulate his fighter, Jose Alfredo “Torito” 羅德里格斯, for winning both the UBF All-Americas and Latino Super Flyweight Championships in front of a standing-room-only crowd at the ABC Sports Complex in Springfield, 弗吉尼亞州, 週六 (十二月 10).
A former interim WBA Light Flyweight and WBC Youth World Light Flyweight Champion, 羅德里格斯, now ranked #15 由IBF, scored an eight-round decision over Puerto Rico’s former WBA Fedecentro Super Flyweight Champion, 埃德溫· “Puto” 羅德里格斯 (8-3, 5 科斯), no relation.
The victory marked the first time Sinaloa, Mexico’s Rodriguez had ever competed in the United States.
Although the Puerto Rican was able to get inside a few times, Rodriguez used his jab to keep him outside and controlled the action for most of the fight.
“Torito got some good rounds in against Rodriguez,” said manager Acevedo. “This will help him brush off that ring rust. I am very happy with his performance. I knew this fight was going to go the distance, because ‘Puto’ 是一個好戰士. Torito is very strong though, with a bright future ahead of him.”
Acevedo says the win was the first step pin his plan to put Rodriguez in his dream fight.
“Next we will be looking to fight the best of the best to get Torito back on top. He wants to be champion again and he’ll fight anyone to get there. But the fight he really wants is (current WBC World Super Flyweight Champion Roman) Chocolatito (岡薩雷斯). That’s who we are gunning for.”
