So here is my report:

Rodriguez has extremely quick hands for a 6'5" man and he does seem to have some power. He is strong at body work. I could tell the body punches hurt by Turlington's expression. Turlington, contrary to what Rodriguez says in that article, could not really be called "an obstacle".

Rodriguez didn't show much defense to speak of (not that he needed any). Turlington came right at him and managed to back him up with a couple of solid exchanges in the 1st that seemed to surprise Rodriguez. I was bothered by this because it almost looked like he wasn't used to being hit at all. I guess 1st round KO's will do that to a guy.

Rodriguez needs to step up. He is pushing 30 and far better than his recent opposition. It seems a waste to keep knocking them over when there's no challenge. How far he can go will depend entirely on his chin. He has good hands and likely some real power to boot. His body work will serve him well at higher levels.
