Мексика‘s Jose Alfredo “Torito” Rodriguez is promising fireworks in his upcoming world title challenge.
На Воскресенье, Январь 29, 2017, at the Studio City Casino in Macao, Китай, Родригес (32-4, 19 КО), Масатлан, Синалоа, will attempt to win his second world championship by challenging Cavite City, Филиппины’ IBF World Super Flyweight Champion Jerwin “Pretty Boy” Ancajas (25-1-1, 16 КО) на 12 раундов.
The former interim WBA Light Flyweight Champion Rodriguez says he’s determined to get back where he belongs in boxing.
“I took two years off of boxing and missed being a champion. I came back last year on a mission to win another title and that’s what I’m going to do,” сказал Родригес. “Ничто не может остановить меня. When I am given the proper time to prepare, I am one of the world’s best. That is what I will show against Ancajas.”
The southpaw Ancajas won his title in September of last year with a unanimous decision over McJoe Arroyo. The fight against Rodriguez will be his first defense.
Rodriguez’s manager José A. Acevedo of Free Agent Boxing Management, says his fighter is getting top-level training for this showdown.
“Torito is working with his great trainer, Gil Gastelum, at Big Time Boxing in Port St. Lucie, Florida and Caicedo Sport Training Center in Miami,” said Acevedo. “And more importantly, he is sparring with some excellent fighters to get ready, including former world champ Juan Carlos Payano, WBA-NABA Bantamweight Champ Stephon Young and upcoming featherweight title challenger Claudio Marrero amongst others. This is the best I’ve ever seen him look. He is very determined to win this championship. Thanks to Manny Pacquiao and Sean Gibbons for this terrific opportunity.”
“Ancajas is a good fighter and I respect him, but there is nothing that can save his title from me,” continued Rodriguez. I thank him for this opportunity, это мечта, but he’s going home an ex-champ. I am going to be an unbeatable force that night.”
