ORLANDO, Fla. -- Delvin Rodriguez has had his big opportunities, but been unable to cash in on either of his two world title shots. In 2009, Rodriguez, a fan favorite for his numerous action-packed fights, lost a heart-breaking split decision on his home turf in Connecticut to South Africa’s Isaac Hlatshwayo for a vacant welterweight belt. In 2012, Austin Trout shut him down in a dominant decision win in a junior middleweight title bout. But although those were world title fights, the biggest opportunity of Rodriguez’s up-and-down 14-year career comes on Saturday night (HBO, 9:45 ET/PT) against Puerto Rican superstar and former three-division champion Miguel Cotto at the Amway Center in Orlando, Fl.
