Dutchover to face Rodriguez on next 3.2.1. Boxing

Thompson Boxing Promotions returns on Sunday, December 20th with the final 3.2.1. Boxing event of the year. The free stream will air live on Thompson's website, as well as its Facebook and YouTube pages. The event will take place at the Omega Products International Event Center in Corona, CA, and will start at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET. The main event has lightweight Michael “The West Texas Warrior” Dutchover (14-1, 10 KOs) against Mexico's Jose Luis "La Boa" Rodriguez (23-13-1, 13 KOs) in an eight rounder. In the eight-round co-feature, two Californians will face off as Saul "The Beast" Sanchez (14-1, 8 KO) takes on Mario Hernandez (10-1-1, 3 KOs) in the super flyweight division. Middleweight Richard “Cool Breeze” Brewart Jr. (7-0, 3 KO), of Rancho Cucamonga, CA, will face Louis Hernandez (8-0-1, 6 KOs), Jackson, MS in the six-round opening bout.

"My last opponent suffered a bad accident, so I was unable to fight," said Dutchover of his thwarted effort in early November to secure an opponent for that event. "I am now very focused and working hard in the gym with my coach Danny Zamora and my stablemate, Ruben Torres and I am ready to finish 2020 with a bang."
 
Rodriguez, who has been in the ring with  two-division champion Jose Pedraza (28-3, 13 KOs), WBA regular 140-pound title holder Mario Barrios (26-0, 17 KOs), Felix Verdejo (27-1, 17 KOs), Antonio Orozco (28-2, 17 KOs), Bakhtiyar Eyubov (14-2-1, 12 KOs), and Sharif Bogere (32-2, 20 KOs) will be the most experienced fighter Dutchover has ever faced. 
 
As for the co-feature, Sanchez said, "I am working hard in the gym with my coach Manny Robles and ready for a fight that will hopefully get me a world ranking. I am focused and ready to show the world, why I am one of the top prospects in all of boxing."
 
"This [Sanchez-Hernandez] is a great fight for the fans with two L.A. fighters facing each other," said Hernandez. "I view this as a world title fight, and I am going to be in the best shape of my career, Sanchez better be ready."
 
For the opening bout, Brewart said, “This is a fight that will show I’m ready for the next level and victory against Hernandez will prove I’m a top prospect. I have no doubt in my ability to have my hand raised after this fight. My hard work will pay off.” 
 
“I will have to bring the fight to Brewart and force him into uncomfortable situations,” said Hernandez. “My plan is to not let this fight go the distance.” 
 
“We're excited to a final show close to the holidays to celebrate and otherwise bizarre year,” said promoter Ken Thompson. “We're focusing on bringing the best fights possible and we want to finish the year well and look into starting 2021 with a lot of momentum.”
 
“It is exciting to see how the 3.2.1 Boxing series has progressed,” said Alex Camponovo, Thompson Boxing's general manager and creator of 3.2.1 Boxing. “We have worked hard to make these shows possible, and we're slowly getting back to putting on the stacked fight cards we were able to do before the pandemic. We have some great fights that fans of boxing should be able to enjoy.”
