CARSON, CA -- Lydell Rhodes (23-0-0, 23 KO) (R, above photo) of Oklahoma City, OK kept his record clean with a great win over John Nater (13-7-0, 10KO) of Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Nater however proved to be a tough customer in spite of his 6 loss record going to this fight. He bloodied Rhodes' nose with some clean hooks in round 3. Rhodes returned the favor in round 4 dropping Nater with a picture perfect right straight just seconds before the round ended. Nater to his credit beat the count but his corner waved off the fight before the 5th started.
Rhodes is better known to Filipino fans as a sparring partner of the great Manny Pacquiao.
