Professional career

In July 2011, Rodríguez won a ten round unanimous decision over undefeated Mexican, Manuel Jiménez to win the interim NABF Strawweight Championship.[2]

IBF Strawweight Championship

On 1 September 2012 Rodríguez upset the undefeated Nkosinathi Joyi to capture the IBF strawweight title. This bout was held at the Auditorio Benito Juárez, in Guadalajara, Mexico.[3]
