He must have been a promoter’s dream come true, because you could depend on him to lose when you needed it, but were pretty much guaranteed a distance fight.

	Rodriguez seems to have had two careers as an "opponent": first fighting almost exclusively in the Miami area from 1958 through ’62, and then disappearing for a year; only to reappear in the New England area, where he again fights almost exclusively in that area, campaigning for another 24 fights. It looks as though he may have worn out his welcome in Miami and decided to take his unique talent for habitually losing north. Over one span, in the New England area, Hector dropped 13 fights in a row, with no stoppages, going the distance every time.
