Matchroom revealed yesterday that Francisco Rodriguez’s latest (40-6-1, 27 Kos) had tested positive to prohibit the substance from the cable test after his 12-round unanimous decision victory over WBC’s temporary weight champion Galal Yaf (9-1, 7 Kos) on June 21 in Birmingham, England. Rodrigess JR is currently being investigated, 33 years old, and his B-grown will now be tested.
Rodriguez latest doping test positive
Veteran Rodriguez’s latest had beaten the filling from Yafai, outscoring with a wide reserve on the way to victory after the results of 119-108, 119-108 and 118-109. The fight should have been stopped in the fight because it was obvious that Yafa had no chance to win and Rodriguez beat her thoroughly.
Punch Statistics: The dominant Rodrigess Jr.
- Francisco Rodriguez JR: 575 punches that fell with 1089 punches by 53%. Of this total 528, there were power blows, which meant almost everything he threw in was power.
- Galal Yafai: 230 out of 795 by 34%.
It is not clear whether the results of the fight will not be considered a competition and Yafai gave his WBC’s temporary title. However, since he lost to Rodriguez’s younger one, one could say that the same thing will happen no matter how many times they are fighting. For fans who have never watched Rodriges, he has always been known for a high punch. It was not out of norm for him to have a big output.
Matchroom promoter Eddie Herner has not said whether he will try to arrange a repeat game. Given how one -sided it was, he is unlikely to do so. Rodriguez’s latest could spoil Yafai in the second fight if he throws more than 1000 beats again. Yafai is like his brother Kal Yafai the way he fights.
Rodriguez’s latest high punch exit
Yafai fans are angry about Rodriguez’s latest test positively, and some say, “I told you so.” They believed that with the large number of shots thrown by Rodriguez, he needed to be on the ped. So he has always struggled with his entire career, and he had never tested a positive substance for a positive.
