I'm talking about heavyweight David Rodriguez.
When he steps it up, will he be up to the task?
Is this Pringle?
Anyways, I've seen him before. Umm, it's hard to say. Actually the first time I saw him I was fairly surprised, he's a big guy, not in terrible shape but not exactly cut either, and I was expecting a big, slow, lumbering, one punch at a time guy.
To my surprise, he was actually a combination puncher who worked behind a decent jab. He has really fast hands too. I later learned he was at one time a minor league baseball player which explained things as all baseball players have very fast hands, they have to.
But we really know nothing about him other then that. I mean his opponents thus far have been as useful as bag work basically. Really, he has fought absolutely no one and at the age of 30 he has no time to lose. So it's hard to tell. He does have slow feet, very slow feet, which is something I think almost all top level boxers can expose but who knows, the heavyweights absolutely suck.
He's not another Tye Fields though, Tye Fields sucks this guy actually has a few decent tools that he uses when he knocks out these tomato cans put in front of him. So I don't know, there really is no way to tell simply because we haven't seen him tested at all. There was a fight out there a while back where his opponent started to fall straight down a split second before the punch actually landed. Like he was trying to simply fall his way out of a punch. Against that type of competition you really don't see anything more in a guy then you would watching him do gym work. So he definitely has got to step it up, and in a big way.
