Francisco Rodriguez shares photo with Eddy Reynoso prior to failed drug test revelation.

Francisco Rodriguez shared a picture with Eddy Reynoso thanking the coach for aiding him just hours before a drug test that didn't go well. The flyweight is still celebrating his biggest career win, which came last month when he beat Galal Yafai in the UK. Rodriguez set a new record for the most punches thrown in a flyweight fight on CompuBox when he beat Yafai at the pulse LIVE Arena in Birmingham. Victory That Broke Records Now Clouded According to CompuBox data, "Unreal numbers were put up in this one between Francisco Rodriguez and Galal Yafai." Rodriguez hit 575 out of 1089 times, or 53%, while Yafai hit 230 out of 795 times, or 34%, according to CompuBox. "The power punch figures were tremendous. Rodriguez hit 528 out of 969, or 54%, and Yafai hit 189 out of 559, or 34%. Rodriguez set the record for the most punches landed in a 12-round battle in the Flyweight division. "Yafai was gutsy and endured a lot of huge hits. He ultimately fell to the ground in the last round. The scores were 119-108 twice and 118-109. After the win, the Mexican (40-6-1, 27 KOs) had big fights coming up, but Yafai's promoters at Matchroom ruined them on Wednesday. The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association told Matchroom, the World Boxing Council, and the British Boxing Board of Control today that Francisco Rodriguez had a bad test result after his fight with Galal Yafai on June 21, 2025. "The BBBofC and the WBC will take care of the issue." Boxing Results: Rodriguez shocks Yafai with an upset; Mielnicki rules Rodriguez's post on social media to Reynoso "Chihua" has to answer just a few hours after thanking Reynoso for his support. "Thank God for putting me on the right path, Mr. Eddy Reynoso (@caneloteam). Thank you so much for letting me believe in myself when no one else did. "I will be thankful to you for the rest of my life." I'm going to work harder than I've ever worked before. Of course, like you said, we want to win all four titles. "God willing, it's an honor to be on your team!" It's bad timing because Oscar De La Hoya criticized Reynoso for having four fighters affiliated to him who all tested positive. Ryan Garcia, Jaime Munguia, Canelo Alvarez, and Julio Cesar Martinez are the names. Rodriguez gets five points as he starts the fight to clear his name.
