Delvin Rodriguez sits with RSR and talks about his upcoming must win Championship Bout.<\/p>\n

MA: Training at high altitude Adirondacks, have you had a chance to enjoy the Mountain View?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh man, it\u2019s beautiful up here. My coach told me that he thinks I am going crazy because I don\u2019t want to get out of here. I just love it up here. It\u2019s very comfortable and laid back. It\u2019s very relaxing. It\u2019s a great place to focus and concentrate. I got to say I love this here.<\/p>\n

MA: If the opportunity is there will you go back and train at Adirondacks?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh definitely. My friend, Zeke, the owner of the camp, great guy\u2026he let us use his camp and this is great up here. I would love to come back here for all my fights.<\/p>\n

MA: Would you say sparring with Sechew Powell, who has an upcoming fight the day before yours, has been a tremendous benefit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a great set up. I think it\u2019s great because he has a very important fight himself. I know he is working very hard. He gave me great work. He needed the work as much as I needed it so we both helped each other out.<\/p>\n

MA: Do you feel since it\u2019s a championship fight against Austin Trout, you both will bring out the best out of each other?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh no doubt on that. Believe it. We were talking about that. I think he knows he is facing his hardest opponent ever in his career so far. And this is something I have been working on my all my life to get this opportunity. We both have to leave it all in the ring.<\/p>\n

MA: Winning the title would mean what to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything man. Everything, that\u2019s what every fighter works for. You have to get that title to be in the front seat. It\u2019s what I have been waiting for all my life. I have been in so many ups and downs in my career and I get this opportunity to fight for this world title. I know winning the world title is everything. It will open many opportunities for me\u2026for bigger fights and bigger things.<\/p>\n

MA: Being an analyst for ESPN Viernes de Combates (Friday Night Fights), has that helped you improve as a fighter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, because you stay more on top of the game, you sit down and analyze different styles. You look at the styles and you see and you come to the point where you learn basically what\u2019s going to happen. What happens when you confront different styles and what you should do? You concentrate more and study on what you should do to beat a style. So yeah, I have to say it has.<\/p>\n

MA: Off the wall question. Do you believe the \u201cchupacabra\u201d exists?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Laughter) Not at all man, it\u2019s just given by somebody who came up with that.<\/p>\n
