"Luis Rodriguez pounded out a unanimous 12 round decision over Puerto Rico's Jose 'Monon' Gonzales in Convention Hall Thursday night for what the promoters billed as the Latin American middleweight championship. There were no knockdowns, but the crowd of 4,000 cheered loudly as Rodriguez took charge in the 9th round, scoring at will with left jabs that set up Gonzales for a series of right crosses to the head. Rodriguez was mobbed by supporters in the ring after the fight and shouted that he was ready to fight middleweight champion Nino Benvenuti any time, any place." -United Press International
