This past Friday night at the Don
Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas, one of the top Heavyweight contenders
in the world in David Rodriguez
made a statement as he knocked out former world title challenger Owen
“What The Heck” Beck with one
giant left hook to raise his incredible record to 35-0 with thirty-three
knockouts.
Rodriguez bloodied Beck in round one and took him out with a booming left hook
that made Beck plummet to
the
canvas.

victory, Rodriguez should move closer to a world ranking and ultimately a
world title shot.

mark to 23-2 with
