Classic Forum, PLEASE tell me about Luis Rodriguez

The third fight is available complete, and it's in great condition. But it's hard to come by.

The version I have runs for about 40 minutes, showing the first five rounds and the last two, and includes a lengthy post fight interview with Griffith and ring intros at the start.

You're right about the Bahama fight, another excellent boxing display from Rodriguez. Bahama wasn't a bad fighter himself. Agree with your Laguna/Rodriguez comparison as well. Rodriguez was probably a little better at the inside game, but they were for all intents and purposes very similar stylistically.

I'm not really a fan of Griffith's fighting style so I don't know if I'll ever come to score many of his close fights, but it would be an interesting thing to do to come to terms with what you subjectively feel his record should stand at. He had more close decision fights than he had hot breakfasts.

 

His resume is indeed impressive.
won against bennie briscoe, lost twice against e griffith, and got a UD win over rubin carter.
108 wins 10 losses (3 KO) and 49 KO's. very impressive, :good.

 

Angelo Dundee said Luis had the finest pair of legs on any fighter he had ever seen.
