In 1969, Rodriguez fought for the middleweight title, but lost to Ninobenvenuti. His is showing wearing a T-shirt from Dundee's gym; Angelo Dundee, who later trained Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali, also trained Rodriguez. Rodriguez retired with a record of 107-13-1, with 49 knockouts. He entered the International Boxing Hall of Fame posthumously in 1997. Fine condition.
