Fighting Delvin Rodriguez next on Khan undercard. Good fight to see where he is and how much the Kirkland beating/the layoff have taken out of him.

That's actually a pretty good fight

Cheers Baj. What's Rodriguez like? Any good? He has a bit of an odd record.
Check out the first Pawel Wolak fight. Wolak suffered one of the worst eye injures I've ever seen



And he probably should have won

He's a pretty good fighter and one of the more unfortunate dudes in boxing. Loses to Hlatshwayo and Theophane were robberies in my opinion and many feel he got the short end of the stick against Jackiewicz too. Had an awesome fight with Pawel Wolak and then beat him in a tad less mental rematch. I think the initial war might have taken a bit out of him though because he looked pretty listless against Austin Trout, not to take anything away from Trout or suggest that Rodriguez would've won anyways, but y'know. Good fighter though, solid boxer-puncher that's just below "world-class" and makes for some good fights. Better than some of his results insinuate I think.

Wasn't even aware he was fighting Angulo, 'tis a good match-up.

That's a sweet breakdown, much appreciated.

Been watching some of him today. Looks alright. Seems to do most things well enough but doesn't do anything amazingly if you know what I mean.

Sure I watched him on the Tarver-Kayode undercard. Can't remember much other than being impressed by Trout and the way he won.

I watched that fight, boys eye is messed up! He retired after that didn't he?
Na he retired after the rematch (was on the Cotto - Margo 2 undercard I think). He was planning on going into MMA also. Nice guy is Wolak, fun style to watch. Kicked Yuri Foreman's arse better than Cotto did IMO

He's quite skillful, got a good jab and a solid straight right which he pumps out from a good range. I mean he absolutely schooled Wolak the second time round, it was like a bullfight except the bull was getting punished a lot. Retired Wolak didn't it? He's quite clearly a cut below the top class though, Trout who may or may not be 'all that' dealt with him pretty easily, I had it 116-112 and it was only that close because of the clash of styles where neither really wanted to commit to throwing a lot or getting stuck in.

Delvin's got a good chin and finds the range well, if he's got a very good performance in him he could beat Angulo, that's not an easy fight for the Mexican. Then again I'd expect Angulo at his best to knock Rodriguez out, although if he's sup bar he could find himself on the wrong end of a UD.

That's right he beat the piss out of Foreman, really just mauled him up close and battered him silly. I think Foreman's style and his lack of power massively favoured Wolak's seek and destroy style, but yes he did him in a lot worse than Cotto did.
