Rodriguez (18-0, 13 KOs), a Worcester native, will battle another local favorite, Chris Traetti (10-2, 6 KOs), who hails from just down the road in Quincy. Since last June, when Rodriguez last stepped into the ring in his hometown, he has hit the road to score the two biggest wins of his career, a ninth round stoppage of James McGirt, Jr. to capture the WBC USNBC super middleweight title last November and a ten round decision over top-10 ranked super middleweight Aaron Pryor, Jr. in January. Traetti believes that those wins add weight on Rodriguez\u2019s shoulders to perform that may pave the way to an upset. \u201cI\u2019ll get another fight because I promote my own shows,\u201d said Traetti. \u201cIf he loses, there goes the world title shot. All the pressure is on him, and that is pretty liberating for me as a fighter.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Family-Secret-Forris-Day-Jr\/dp\/B004GLZ4YG\/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1309134704&amp;sr=1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/family-secret-ad-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/BookDetail.aspx?Book=232300\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11989\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"boxing interviews ad bio\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/boxing-interviews-ad-bio1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Yesterdays-News-Pamela-Jean-Murawski\/dp\/1607036185\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1310486560&amp;sr=1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\" http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/yesterdays-news-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11990\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"advertise header2\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/advertise-header2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It will be a battle for home state supremacy on August 20 when Edwin \u201cLa Bomba\u201d Rodriguez puts his unbeaten record on the line in the main event of Broadway Boxing from Mechanics Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts.
