"Veteran Chico Vejar lost a unanimous 10 round decision to Luis Rodriguez before 2,665 fans Wednesday night in a nationally televised bout at Miami Beach Exhibition Hall. Rodriguez, who decked Vejar for a five-count in the 6th round, said Vejar was the first middleweight he fought. Chico was staggered in the 5th, 7th and 9th rounds as Rodriguez tried for a KO. But Vejar had enough left to put on a flurry just before the fight ended." -Associated Press
