This past Friday in front of 2,000 boxing fans at the Southwest Unversity Events Center, El Paso boxer David Rodriguez suffered his second loss in his career when Raymond "King Kong" Ochieng knocked out Rodriguez in 1 min 37 seconds of the first round.

The crowd at Southwest University Events Center hadn’t even sat down before Rodriguez was knocked down in the opening seconds of the first round. A stunned Rodriguez could never recover from the charging Ochieng. Rodriguez went down once more but it was ruled as a slip, then a couple of seconds later Ochieng landed a left and right combination that sent Rodriguez down once more and referee Robert Velez stopped the fight.

After the fight David Rodriguez thanked the fans of El Paso for supporting him in his boxing career and announced his retirement as a professional boxer.

 "I'm sorry I let My fans down. I havent' been the same since two years ago."
