"Vicente Rondon of Venezuela successfully defended his WBA light heavyweight title by unanimously outpointing Eddie "Bossman" Jones of the US Saturday night in a 15 round bout before 10,500 at the Nuevo Circo bull ring. Rondon applied consistent right uppercuts to Jones' face. Jones gave a good boxing demonstration but lacked hard punching and was badly handicapped by bleeding through an old scar over his left eyelid." -Compiled from Wire Services
