Erislandy Lara
Rodríguez was then scheduled to face Cuban southpaw Erislandy Lara in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions fight card, after coming off of a draw in his last outing against Joachim Alcine over a year earlier on May 16, 2014. He was dominated throughout the bout by Lara, getting knocked down in the sixth round en route to losing via unanimous decision, which was virtually a shutout.
