In the main event of the T.A.C. Promotions card in Vienna, VA, welterweight Michael Anderson of New Jersey defeated Juan Rodriguez by unanimous decision.
Anderson was in full control of this six-round bout despite the efforts of Rodriguez trying to land shots.
Anderson's punch output was the dominating factor in the rounds.
It was what happened in the second-round that put Anderson on top. He landed a perfect right uppercut that dropped Rodriguez for the eight count. After getting off the canvas Rodriguez was pretty much doing just enough to finish the fight. All three judges scored the bout for Anderson with the scores of 57-56 and 58-55 twice.
