"Former welterweight champion Luis Rodriguez gave a near-capacity crowd a beautiful boxing exhibition last night as he coasted to a unanimous decision over Jose Assuncao at the Hacienda Hotel. Rodriguez, 150, won nearly every round as he displayed far too much speed and class for the Brazilian junior middleweight champ who weighed 151. There were no knockdowns in the 10-round bout. Rodriguez frequently opened up to bury his opponent under barrages of punches throughout the fight. The flashy Cuban, now fighting as a middleweight, dominated the entire going but never had his opponent in danger of being knocked out." -Las Vegas SUN
