This is a good fight between two fighters that prefer to use their boxing skills rather than get into wars. Rodriguez is a former world champion but is currently on a two fight losing streak. I did think he won his last fight fairly clearly but unfortunately he didn’t get the decision. Russell is continuing his rise in competition in this fight and if he wins he’ll presumably challenge for a world title of some sort.
I expect this fight to be very competitive but for Rodriguez to use his slightly superior skills to out-box Russell in an 8-4 type of fight. There is almost no chance he wins a decision however so the most likely result out of this fight is a Russell points victory.
