Collision Course: Pernell Whitaker vs. Jake Rodriguez

---

Sharing a twin billing with IBF Welterweight Champion Felix Trinidad, WBC Champion Pernell Whitaker scores a rare knockout over former sparring partner Jake Rodriguez in six one-sided rounds. Whitaker wears Rodriguez out to the body and then drops him on his knees with a left hand to the head. Rodriguez gets to his feet, but Whitaker puts him back on his hands and knees with a right hook to the body shortly thereafter. The challenger fails to beat the count of Referee Frank Cappuccino the second time.
