- Date: 1968-04-19
- Location: National Maritime Union Hall, New York, New York, USA
- Referee: Harold Valan
"Showing in a New York ring for the first time in three years, Jose Gonzalez, 161, Puerto Rico, celebrated his return by blasting his way to an 8th round TKO of Vicente Rondon, 160, Venezuela, before the best house of the season at the National Maritime Union Hall. Except for the first round, when Rondon scored well with left jabs and hooks, it was Gonzalez all the way. The Puerto Rican veteran concentrated his assaults on the body, and the steady thumping to the mid-section paid off. Rondon was wilting rapidly and bleeding from the mouth, when referee Harold Valan called a halt at 1:19 of the 8th, with the Venezuelan defenseless, taking a frightful battering on the ropes." -Ring Magazine, July 1968 issue
