Mascarenhas, hailing from New Bedford, is buzzing for this tough test. “I’m primed and ready year-round,” he asserts. “Toss anyone my way, and I’ll display my skills, grit, and raw talent.”
Rodriguez is no pushover, having mixed it up with top fighters like Christopher Diaz and Ryan Garcia. He’s a crafty ring veteran with plenty of tricks up his sleeve. But Mascarenhas is unphased, feeling sharper than ever both mentally and physically. “I’ve been honing my craft for weeks,” he shares. “I’m pumped to dazzle the fans come Saturday.”
Life’s thrown its fair share of jabs at Mascarenhas. Surviving a brutal attack post-victory in his hometown, he knows the value of life and the boxing ring. Now, juggling fatherhood, a day job, and training, he’s living his dream, inch by inch.
Mascarenhas dreams of boxing full-time, a goal that’s felt more tangible with every victory post-recovery. With CES Boxing firmly in his corner, he’s eyeing two more bouts this year. “Big thanks to CES and Jimmy Burchfield,” he notes. “We’re set for some thrilling fights ahead.”
As Mascarenhas squares off against Rodriguez this Saturday, he’s all about chasing his dreams without excuses. “I’m leaving everything in the ring,” he declares.
