PERNELL WHITAKER vs. JAKE RODRIGUEZ (HBO) 

Description : Here we have an original HBO Boxing closed circuit fight poster from the WBC world welterweight title bout from the Convention Center, Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA, 18th November 1995.

Whitaker (37-1-1) was in command against Rodriguez (27-4-2), controlling the fight with his superior hand speed. It ended in the sixth round, when Whitaker floored Rodriguez with a left hook-right hand combination. Rodriguez rose to his feet, but he was in deep trouble, and Whitaker did not let his opponent escape. Whitaker knocked down Rodriguez again with a right to the body and a left to the head. The fight was waved to an end by the referee, Frank Cappuccino, as Rodriguez rose to his feet.

Also on the bill was IBF welterweight kingpin Felix Trinidad. Felix Trinidad 147 lbs beat Larry Barnes 146 lbs by TKO at 2:54 in round 4 of 12.

These HBO closed circuit posters are not made available for public consumption & can only be sourced from a participating closed circuit outlet hence the scarcity as once the televised event if over, then these posters go straight to skip.
