Daniel Garcia Wins 8-Round Decision Over George Rodriguez
Daniel Garcia earned an eight-round unanimous decision over George Camilo Rodriguez Pardo at Golden Boy Promotions’ May 30, 2025 card at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The Nevada Athletic Commission recorded identical 80–72 scores from all three judges, giving Garcia every round on each official card. The result marked a measured step forward for the lightweight prospect on a card headlined by Bektemir Melikuziev and Darius Fulghum.
Garcia takes a clear decision
The commission’s official results list Garcia as the winner by unanimous decision after eight scheduled rounds. Each judge scored the bout 80–72. That score means every round went to Garcia on each card; it leaves no split among the judges about the outcome. The commission lists Garcia at 135.4 pounds and Rodriguez Pardo at 135.6 pounds, a narrow difference at the lightweight limit.
The result is the central takeaway, while the scorecards supply useful context: this was not a close decision that turned on one swing round.
A prospect’s progress on a Golden Boy card
Golden Boy Promotions presented the event in Las Vegas, with Melikuziev–Fulghum as the main event. Garcia’s bout appeared on the same card, providing an eight-round test against an opponent listed by the commission as George Camilo Rodriguez Pardo. Some event listings shorten his name to George Rodriguez or Camilo Rodriguez; the commission’s results use the full name and are the best reference for the official record.
For Garcia, a full eight-round decision adds experience that a quick finish cannot provide: the official distance confirms he completed all eight rounds before the judges rendered their verdict. Garcia’s promoter identifies him as a lightweight prospect, and this win fits that career stage: another recorded victory as he builds toward tougher tests.
What the result means
Garcia left Las Vegas with a unanimous decision and three matching cards. The score does not by itself settle what matchup should come next, and no future opponent was announced in the official result. It does provide a clean marker for his record: an eight-round win over Rodriguez Pardo on a Golden Boy card.
