"Speedily persistent Luis Rodriguez of Cuba swarmed over Federico Thompson of Argentina last night in their nationally televised bout at MSG and beat the South American welterweight champion with such a lopsided 10 round decision that it may send him into retirement. Rodriguez announced that he wants a shot at either the welterweight or the middleweight championship. He said he would fight British and Empire middleweight champion Dick Tiger, if a victory would bring him a title shot." -United Press International
