Edwin Rodriguez becoming more complete to compete with the elite super middleweights

 

Written by Bob Trieger

 

WORCESTER, MA (July 26, 2012) - Most established prizefighters take extended periods off between fights to recharge. Undefeated Dominican sensation Edwin "La Bomba" Rodriguez (21-0, 14 KOs), however, practically lives in the gym continuing to train hard as he looks ahead to his first world title shot opportunity, hopefully, in 2013.

 

Instead of taking a well-deserved vacation after his solid March 17th win by unanimous decision over Donovan George for the United States Boxing Association (USBA) super middleweight championship, Rodriguez returned home to Worcester (MA) to be with his family for only a week before returning to work.

 

Even though he's driven to succeed for his young family, it's strictly business for "La Bomba," at least at this stage of his career, as he continues to makes great sacrifices now in order to invest in the future for his wife, Stephanie, and their five-year-old twins, Serena and Edwin, Jr., who are both special needs children.

 

Rodriguez is a legitimate world title contender, who is rated as high as No. 3 in the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and No. 4 by the World Boxing Council (WBC). He's also ranked No. 8 by the World Boxing Association (WBA), as well as No. 9 by The Ring Magazine.

Guys like Rodriguez are almost impossible not to like, they're constantly milking every last ounce of skill they were born with to get their maximum potential. I don't think he'll ever be a World Champion, even with the interim belts on the scene, but nobody ever got shortchanged buying a ticket to a LaBomba Rodriguez fight.
