Rodriguez, a former Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games champion mentioned that,"Now it's time to prove where do I belong in the boxing world. It's my time to shine. Santiago is a very good fighter, and my respect for him, and his team for accepting this fight in Puerto Rico. I'm ready for war!", stated Emmanuel Rodriguez.
The undefeated Puerto Rican prospect obtained in December, the most significant victory of his young career by defeating former world title contender, David Quijano by unanimous decision.
