AJ Galante (Delvin Rodriguez's manager) Had a good meeting with Delvin this week. Usually when we meet I like to get an update on how he’s feeling physically, as well as what he’s been doing working out wise. I update him on everything outside of the ring. This week Delvin let me know that he’s been doing his running, and started back working a few days a week with our strength and conditioning coach Matt Patren. Delvin is in shape 24/7/365, but obviously when there is a match coming, the workouts intensify.  Unfortunately at this present time, there is no match on the horizon, but in this business, you have to be ready at a moments notice. I can get a call from our Promoter Joe DeGuardia, and he may say that somebody got injured for an upcoming match, and we have a chance to replace them. Sometimes that could be on a four week notice. That’s not ideal, but if the opportunity is a good one, you have to be ready. That’s why i stress to these guys to stay working. I’m very luck...
