Last night in El Paso, Texas, unbeaten heavyweight David Rodriguez scored the biggest win of his pro career in style as he utterly destroyed veteran Owen beck in the 3rd-round. 33-year-old Rodriguez, known as “Nino” landed two consecutive left hooks to the head of his 35-year-old opponent and down went Beck - for an alarming amount of time. The referee never saw the need to count, instead signalling for the ringside doctor. The official time was 2-minutes and three-seconds of the 3rd. Down for something like ten minutes, Beck was thankfully okay after being given oxygen.. Rodriguez is now 35-0(33), one of the best records in today’s heavyweight division. Beck, known as “What The Heck,” is now 29-8(20) and, after suffering his most brutal defeat ever, he should think about retirement. How good can Rodriguez become? Last night’s devastating KO is sure to find it’s way onto You Tube and get the fans talking, and “Nino” can bang, no doubt about that. But Beck had lost his last four coming in, all by stoppage. Yet the Jamaican ranks as Rodriguez’ best opponent yet. We need to see the 33-year-old, approx 250-pounder in with a ranked contender before we can get too excited about him.
