"Former world bantamweight champion Lionel Rose pounded his way to a unanimous 10 round decision over Japanese lightweight Ishimatsu Suzuki Saturday night. It was Rose's best performance since moving up to the lightweight ranks. Although Rose injured his right thumb in the 2nd round and rarely used that hand afterwards, his left was all he needed to establish authority and hold it." -Associated Press
