7-0!!!

Weigh-ins



Boxingscene.com:
In a quick six, 2-time U.S. National Amateur Champion Edwin Rodriguez, 162, 6-0 (5KO) from the Dominican Republic, now fighting out of Worcester, Mass., took on Hector Hernandez, 161 ½, 10-2-2 (4KO), all the way from Phoenix, AZ now fighting out of South Boston. Rodriguez showed much more class and is a busy puncher who throws a variety of power shots and doesn’t neglect the body. Rodriguez benefited from much quicker hands and landed the harder shots on Hernandez, who was extremely game but simply outgunned. Final scores were unanimous for Rodriguez at 59-55 and two scores of 60-54.

Secondsout.com:
In an entertaining super middleweight six rounder, unbeaten puncher Edwin Rodriguez overcame the gritty challenge of Hector Hernandez to win by unanimous decision

Rodriguez 7-0 (5) was clearly the bigger puncher and got the better of eager exchanges throughout the contest. Hernandez 10-3-2 (4) absorbed some terrific head and body shots but rarely took a step backwards – making Rodriguez fight for three minutes every round.

Hernandez was wobbled in round two by a right hand/uppercut sequence and was in dire trouble in the fifth as Rodriguez found a regular home for his looping right hands.

Scores: 59-55; 60-54; 60-54

Celebration, even with seven stitches from an elbow to the face in the first round

Congratulations on the win!! Once you are featured on TLC, you should consider becoming a model. You are so pretty!!! I am glad Serena's surgery went well. Maybe when you have some extra time, you can give me some tips on feeding Michael. He aspirates when he eats and right now, the only thing we can get in him is formula and pediasure. All other things he gags.

The twins look so big. They really look like toddlers now...

Sorry for the confusion. In a prior post I talked about the documentary they are filming. The filmmaker recently sold his series on the CIRCUS to TLC for 2.5 million. My hope is because he has this legit deal, this boxing film will also get picked up by someone. It's not nearly finished. We still have perhaps a year or so of taping.
