"I am going to do great things with my defense and my boxing abilities."

BoxingTalk:  Delving, how did preparation go for your fight with Troy Browning this Friday?

Delvin Rodriguez:  It went very well.  I had good sparring for six weeks, and I sparred against some great fighters.

BoxingTalk:  Did you work on anything in particular in camp that will guarantee your victory on Friday?

Delvin Rodriguez:  I’m fighting a southpaw, so we worked on what it takes to defeat a southpaw.  Everything went smooth.  Fighting a southpaw is not a big difference for me.  I’ve fought some great southpaws before, so everything should be fine.

BoxingTalk:  Troy Browning is 20-0 with 8 knockouts.  Does his undefeated record concern you at all?

Delvin Rodriguez:  Not really.  Records don’t mean much to me.  I have fought and sparred with great guys.

BoxingTalk:  What strategy do you have coming into your fight on Friday?

Delvin Rodriguez:  When you jab with a southpaw they get confuse because they’re not used to that.  I ‘m planning on using my jab first, and seeing where it goes from there.

BoxingTalk:  With your thirteen knockouts to his eight, do you feel you will be able to knock him out before the final bells sounds?

Delvin Rodriguez:  He’s a lefty, so it will be my right hand that will be right there to catch him, then I will follow up with my hooks.

BoxingTalk:  What do you feel this win will do for your career?

Delvin Rodriguez:  It will take me to the next level, fighting top ten guys on HBO.

BoxingTalk:  With your last six victories ending in knockouts, is this a sign for what is to come for Browning on Friday?

Delvin Rodriguez:  If I hit someone with three to four punches, they’re not going to last.

BoxingTalk:  Do you have a prediction for your fight on Friday?

Delvin Rodriguez:  I’ll come out victorious.  I’ve learned a lot and my eyes are wide open for this fight.  I am going to do great things with my defense and my boxing abilities.
