Boxing Feature on ESPN, Francisco “Paco” Rodriguez
- April 14th, 2011
Boxer Francisco “Paco” Rodriguez had dreams of being a hero before suffering fatal injuries during a title fight in Philadelphia. Through organ donation, Paco’s dream was realized as his uncle and four women received a gift of life from the Golden Gloves Champion. E:60 reporter Jeremy Schaap chronicles the journey of the four women — including exclusive access to their emotional meeting with the boxer’s family — who owe their lives to Rodriguez.
