"Percy Manning, Philadelphia, who was a 4-1 underdog, upset former world welterweight champion Luis Rodriguez on a 10 round split decision Monday night. Manning surprised the Cuban with a mixture of brisk rights, a crisp left hook and left-handed head punches in capturing the most important victory in his career. A hometown crowd of 4,401 roared approval for Manning, who is unranked among the welterweights." -Associated Press
