Devil’s (diablos) Bound in Boxer’s
Rodriguez wins USBA Welterweight
Title with Ease

Delvin Rodriguez considers himself a boxer - puncher . But he was all puncher Friday at Cohen Stadium .
The Connecticut-based Dominican took a big step toward a world championship , detonating his right hand on Luis Hernandez’s chin early and often before registering an impressive third - round TKO in front of a crowd of about 2,000 and a national television audience on ESPN2 . The emphatic victory not only garnered Rodriguez the USBA welterweight title , it placed him squarely in the 147 - pound contender picture and solidified his reputation as a fighter on the rise.
Also , El Paso flyweight Cesar Lopez got back on the winning track , taking a unanimous eight-round decision over tough Alejandro Moreno of Juarez .
But the star of the show was , the 26 - year - old Rodriguez who raised his record to 19 -1 - 1 ( 31 knockouts ) .
“ A lot of people underestimate my power”, he said , “But , like I said before , if I catch you with at least two punches , I can get you out of there in a hurry”. Rodriguez , who weighed 144 pounds , wasted no time hurting his foe , cracking an on-rushing Hernandez , 146 , with a thunderous right hand midway through round one . A follow up flurry , punctuated by a vicious left to the liver , put the Ecuador native Hernandez on the canvas .
However ; he got up and fought back hard ---- a S - foot - 9 fireplug trying to close the distance and pound the 5 - 11 Rodriguez’s body .
I Hernandez got rough in the second , clocking Rodriguez with his head and his elbows in an effort to throw his smooth opponent off of his game plan . But it was to no avail , as a Rodriguez left to the temple put Hernandez down for a second time . Again , Hernandez got up and tried to fight back , but he couldn’t compete with Rodriguez’s superior technique and power . A Rodriguez one - two dropped Hernandez for a third time at the end of the second round , and Hernandez returned to his corner bloodied and dazed .
In the third , Rodriguez attacked immediately , and another picture - perfect right hand dropped Hernandez for a fourth time . Once again , Hernandez got up , but could not offer little but his heart . After a wicked Rodriguez flurry , referee Laurence Cole wisely stepped in and stopped the fight at the 1:47 mark .
Three rounds , four knockdowns . Not a bad night for Team Rodriguez . “I was afraid of (head butts) , and my corner told me to watch out for that before the fight”, the winner said . “We knew he would come out with wild hooks . So I countered and caught him with my right hand . It turned out good .
Rodriguez said his future is in the hands of his manager , Stan Hoffman . “The welterweight class is a great class , it’s a hot division“, Rodriguez said . “People want to see an explosion in the ring ---- people love that”. The El Paso crowd certainly seemed to appreciative .
The 32 - year - old Hernandez , who fell to 15 - 3 (S Kos) , left the ring immediately ---- bat - tered , but walking out on his own power .

FROM THIS POINT , TO THE END, IS DAN HANSHAW'S COMMENTARY :
I bound the devil's in Delvin Rodrigues and Luis Hernandez , on the day of the fight ( friday ). I started at 9 am, every hour , on the hour , and stopped at 9 pm that evening . I did not go to see the fight , because I do these things through a distance , as Mark 7: 29-30 tells us . What that means is , neither of the two boxer's had any help from their devil's during the fight . They both were fighting with their own human spirit strength , and nothing more. I like the way El Paso times refers to it , “ their own power". That was the first time , I have been knowledgeable of effects that resulted in the physical realm , of that nature .
I also took both of the boxer's out of the spirit world ( by the power of God ) every hour , on the hour . That meant , neither boxer was able to have any communication's into the spirit world , while boxing . You would have thought both boxer's would have been on an even basis . As it turned out , the world champion was use to a great deal of powerful devil's , helping him fight . He could not adapt to the lose of those devil's . On the other hand , Rodriguez being the contender , was not use to powerful devil's , and did not miss the demonic help , that he had to do without .
I had different motives for fighting those two guys , than they had . They were fighting for money , championship and belt ( of which are physical rewards ) , and power or head devil’s (which are spiritual rewards ) . In this context , spiritual meaning demonic .
On the other hand , I fought both of the two guys in the spirit realm ( world ) , by the power of the TRIUNE GODHEAD . My motive was to bind all the devil’s in each of the two guys , and take both of them out of the spirit world , with the intent of showing them both , and the world , there is a FAR GREAT - ER POWER than both of them were use to using . If you would like to have power from the same TRIUNE GODHEAD as I do , then click on the link , ENROLLING in the SEMINARY of JESUS CHRIST . Read the first four paragraphs . DO what the fifth paragraph tells you to do . Then contact FAITH WARRIOR MINISTRIES , for further instructions .
Three rounds, Four knockdowns! SAME AS A BLUE MOON .
