For the first time since 1967, big time boxing has returned to Worcester, MA’s own Mechanics Hall as it was a “Homecoming” of sorts for Edwin “La Bomba” Rodriquez as he was successful in his first professional fight in his hometown and in front of a packed audience as he stopped veteran Patrick Thompson in the second round at 2:11 after Thompson’s corner threw in the towel.
He dropped Thompson with a sharp right hook early in the second and then finished him off just a short time later. Stay tuned to Watch Replay.
