==Professional career==
Rodriguez made his professional debut on May 10, 1967, with a 4-round points defeat of Archie Bailey in [Saint Paul](/source/Saint_Paul%2C_Minnesota). Rodriguez won his first 20 professional fights, losing for the first time by [TKO](/source/Technical_Knockout) on January 16 of 1969, when he was stopped due to cuts in the sixth round of a fight with Pete Gonzalez at [Olympic Auditorium](/source/Olympic_Auditorium) in [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles%2C_California). Rodriguez's record after that loss was a mediocre 4-10, and included several extended periods of inactivity.
