Rodriguez captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) minimumweight title March 22, 2014 во Мексико, by way of a 10-round technical knockout over previously unbeaten Merlito Sabillo (23-0-1), who was making his third title defense.
Rodriguez dropped IBF minimumweight title-holder Katsunari Takayama (27-6) once en route to his 12-round unanimous decision victory August 9, 2014, во Мексико, in their unification match. Rodriguez later vacated both of his world minimumweight titles.
Rated as the No. 3 flyweight contender in the world by the WBO and No. 11 од страна на ИБФ, како и Не. 9 as a light flyweight by the World Boxing Council (Земјите од Западен Балкан), Rodriguez can position himself for a potential title shot against WBO reigning flyweight champion Zou Shiming (9-2, 2 КО), the 2-time Olympic gold medalist from China, who is scheduled to fight an opponent to be determined Март 6 во Макао.

If Jardon impressively defeated Rojo, he could be on the long list to fight Linares later this year, or now, as the No. 1 задолжително противкандидат, he could take on new WBC lightweight king Mickey Garcia (36-0, 30 КО), the rising American star who recently knocked out defending WBC 135-pound division champion Dejan Zlaticanin (22-1, 15 КО).
