Mexican-American heavyweight prospect David "NINO" Rodriguez

Is he for real or a bum?



:dunno:

He's a big boner, 6' 5", 240 lbs.

Here's his match against this other giant as part of the Holyfield/Savarese undercard:

Probably a bum. Mexicans suck above 154.

 

All Mexican fighters are starved for affection above 126lbs.

 

But what if he turns out to be the real deal?

:dunno:

 

Oscar reached the middles.

:tease:

 

He still won't have any support. Mexicans seem to descriminate against thier fighters if they weigh more than 130lbs.

 

Pfffft,..Oscar was a fake, half-cast,.. more American than Mexican.

Morales on the otherhand.

 

Beaners have proven to be more successful at higher weights on MMA, Frank Shamrock (adopted by Irish parents), Tito Ortiz, Paul Buentello, etc...

:dunno:

 

boner is boner no matter where you were born.

 

I'm not talking about the public, I'm talking about him, fuck the public.

 

:nono: I thought Frank was blood related to Ken. He's gotta be atleast half a weak chump honky.

 

Too soft.

 

Chris Arreola is a Decent Heavy Contender,even though he Needs to Give Domomic Jenkins a RE...

Nope, they are not related by blood, they were both adopted at different times by the same family.

You'd be surprise as to who is boner:

It is suprising because they actually resemble each other a little bit. :eeeek: Well there ya go, ya learn something everyday.

 

:eeeek: Jimi Hendrix is a mexican?,..

 

Don't bother calling him a prospect. Even in today's heavyweight division he is completely awfull.

 

:eeeek: Ted Williams is a Mexican???...


REED

 

:eeeek:Jimi Hendrix was my favourite guitarist--------------------------------------------------/not anymore.

I need to see the kid in a real fight before making an evaluation of him.
He has pretty good skills IMO thus far from the limited action I have seen him in.

 

he looks like a slow bum......

 

I am basing my take on him vs that huge kid with the soft midsection before the Holyfield-Savarese fight.
He looked ok to me.

I don't think much of him Hector. He is slow, has no footwork and no defensive skills.

I find it interesting that the Mexicali heavies are so unschooled. The fighters from Mexico city that I have seen are all, by comparison technically accomplished and ring savy. Why don't these guys learn the craft? I just don't get it. The knowledge is there.

 

I agree.
Ever notice that the guys that cross their arms in the majority of the photos (excluding that famous one of Peter Jackson who was solid granite) neglect their homework on the situp table, and fail to push away on the dinner table?
