Ryan Rhodes scores quality victory in London

Ryan Rhodes W12 Vincent Vuma ... At the O2 Arena in London, fan favorite Ryan Rhodes scored perhaps the biggest win of his thirteen-year pro career, defeating South Africa's Vincent Vuma for a regional junior middleweight title. Rhodes, 41-4, lost almost every time he stepped up his opposition level over the years, including a 1997 WBO middleweight title fight against Otis Grant, but this time he succeeded against a very respectable opponent. Rhodes won by scores of 116-113, 116-112 and 117-111. Rhodes was written off many times by the British press, including after his 2006 loss to Gary Lockett. source: setanta
