Rodolfo Gonzalez vs. Javier Jimenez

Rodolfo Gonzalez 136 lbs beat Javier Jimenez 140 lbs by TKO at 1:56 in round 6 of 10

• Date: 1969-11-11
• Location: Municipal Auditorium, San Antonio, Texas, USA
• Referee: Jimmy Scaramozi

"Jimenez, a tall, rangy southpaw opened an inch long cut over Gonzalez' left eye midway through the second round. Gonzalez abandoned his ideas of boxing his way to a victory and opened a savage attack when he felt the skin split over his eye.

The first punch of the sixth round sent blood spattering from Jimenez' nose and a break appeared possible, but it turned out to be nothing but a split of the septum.

Gonzalez didn't care what it was, however, and went to work savagely. He belted the kid around almost at will and then, midway through the round, whistled a right to Jimenez' belly, followed by a left hook to the liver and the game Mexican went down.

He was up quickly, but his second stepped into the ring and referee Jimmy Scaramozi stopped the fight 1:56 deep into the round." -San Antonio Express
