Four years of planning, hard work and dedication culminates Saturday night for Team Rodriguez as undefeated super middleweight Edwin "La Bomba" Rodriguez makes his HBO debut against Donovan George at the Theater at Madison Square Garden.
Rodriguez breaks his Houston training camp today (Tuesday) after eight weeks of preparation with his head trainer, Ronnie Shields, for Saturday evening's showdown that will likely propel the winner closer to a world title shot. "We had a great training camp, the best of my career," Rodriguez said. "I had great sparring, especially with Cornelius White. Ronnie's put together a great game plan for this fight and I'm ready. From the very beginning we've pointed towards a fight like this - HBO at Madison Square Garden - but we all realize that there's still a long way to go and our ultimate goal is to be world champion."
