It is my unfortunate duty to report that Francisco Rodriguez of Chicago passed away Sunday night from injuries sustained in his USBA title bout against Teon Kennedy at The Blue Horizon. Many in the Philly boxing community have expressed their condolences to all affected by the passing of this great warrior. From the bottom of our hearts, R.I.P.
