"Rodolfo Gonzalez, the world's 10th ranked lightweight, started slowly but picked up steam like a runaway locomotive going downhill to score a unanimous 10 round decision over Persia's Nick Aghai Saturday night in Long Beach Municipal Auditorium. Gonzalez decked the Persian in the 7th round with a crushing left hook then swarmed all over Aghai, whose left eye was swelling. Round eight was another big round for the Guadalajara, Mexico native as Rodolfo riddled the man from the Middle East at will." -Long Beach Independent Press-Telegram
- Unofficial LB Press-Telegram scorecard - 8-1 Gonzalez

- "Rudy was rusty tonight, so I want to keep him busy for awhile and get his timing down pat. I thought he did okay considering Aghai was awkward to fight, but his long layoff before I took him over is still showing. Rudy's in good condition, but the rust is there." -Jackie McCoy, Gonzalez' manager
