'Kid Blast' to Face Rodriguez at Miami Warfare II

 

Written by Andre Courtemanche

 

Cuban super featherweight sensation Rances "Kid Blast" Barthelemy will face dangerous spoiler Alejandro "Soma" Rodriguez (14-6, 7 KOs) of Guadalajara, Mexico, in the co-main event of Warriors Boxing Promotions' "Miami Warfare II" event on Saturday, August 18, at the MACC at the Doubletree Hotel in Miami, Florida.

 

26-year-old Barthelemy, brother of Olympic medalist Yan and rated #8 in the world by the IBF, has been particularly impressive of late. He won a clear decision over then-undefeated and highly touted amateur Hylon Williams Jr. on national television and followed it up with a dominant performance against always-tough Robert Osiobe last May.

 

24-year-old Rodriguez, however, is no stranger to elite competition. "Soma", as he is known, has been in with many of today's hottest prospects and taken the 0's of a few undefeated fighters. He will be looking to do it again against Barthelemy.
