Rodriguez stops Beck in 3rd
By Dan Ambrose: Unbeaten heavyweight hopeful David Rodriguez (35-0, 33 KO’s) kept his unbeaten record intact with a crushing 3rd round KO of 35-year-old Owen Beck (29-8, 20 KO’s) on Saturday night at the Don Haskins Convention Center, in El Paso, Texas.
Rodriguez Decisions McGee
Undefeated Mexican heavyweight prospect David Rodriguez (27-0, 25 KOs) struggled last night in the process of winning a eight-round unanimous decision over journeyman Marcus McGee (19-15, 9 KOs) at the Dickerson’s Event Center, in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The 6’4 242 lb Rodriguez, 30, looked average despite winning seven of eight rounds of the fight. Though he was able to outwork McGee, a trial horse for up and coming fighters, over the course of the bout, Rodriguez looked badly tired after only the 3rd round, and took an abnormal amount of punishment from the light-hitting 36 year-old McGee.
