Angel Barrientes Set to Face Edwin Rodriguez this Saturday on Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry MVP Card

PhilBoxing.com




LAS VEGAS, NV (July 16, 2024) – Boxlab Promotions’ promising super bantamweight Angel “AK-47” Barrientes (11-1, 7 KOs), from Las Vegas, NV, is ready to step into the ring to face Edwin Rodriguez (12-8-2, 5 KOs) from Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico. The 6-round bout will take place this Saturday, July 20, 2024, at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, FL, as part of the highly anticipated Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry MVP card. The event will be televised globally on DAZN, offering a prime opportunity for both fighters to showcase their skills on a grand stage.

Angel Barrientes, who is returning to his natural weight class of 122 pounds after his last fight took place at featherweight, is thankful for this opportunity. His training camp has wrapped up and he’s ready to perform at his best.

"I'm really excited to be fighting on such a big card especially at super bantamweight, my normal weight class," said Barrientes. "It’s been tough finding opponents so I’m grateful that my promoter was able to get me a fight on this big card. I had a great training camp and I feel stronger and more prepared than ever. I just want to go out there and let my hands go. Rodriguez is a very durable fighter who has never been stopped so my goal will be to get the knockout, but I’m prepared to go the distance if need be.”

"We believe this is a great opportunity for Angel to showcase what he’s made of,” stated Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions. "Fighting on a card with such high visibility is a tremendous blessing for Angel and everyone at Boxlab Promotions. We're excited to see him perform and know he has what it takes to make a statement."

A victory in this bout could have substantial implications for Barrientes' career. "A win on July 20th will be a giant step in the right direction," Barrientes concluded. "It will open up more opportunities and bring me closer to my goal of becoming a world champion. I'm ready to seize this moment and make the most of it."
