Rodriguez Prepares To Make First Title Defense

On Friday, February 27, 2015 Oxnard PAL played host to the UCA Jr Middleweight State Champion Dustin Rodriguez, Santa Monica Fire Dept.  Rodriguez will make the first defense of his title at the SoCal Battle of the Badges event March 28, 2015, Pechanga Resort & Casino.  Rodriguez will square off with the fearless and aggressive 3rd ranked Brandon Manning, Los Angeles Sheriff’s Dept.  Rodriguez trains in Oxnard an area that has produced some great fighters. He is trained by David Rodela a professional fighter and one of Manny Pacquiao’s main sparring partners.  Rodela puts Rodriguez through the same exercises and drills he learned from being in camp with Pacquiao. There is no doubt Rodriguez is the best  Jr Middleweight in California and with a trainer like Rodela to give him the advice and knowledge he needs Rodriguez may be a champion for a long time.
