He lost three times to Alex Kelly(4-2-0,0), Jim Mcllvaney twice, Vic Moore twice, Barney Wilson, Des Cox, Gene Innocent, Peter Boddington and Terry Daly.
Just to give you a little update on Rodney. I'd set Rodney's nationality as England, but it probably should be Jamaica which was his birthplace. I found Rodney in the 1968 Ring Record Book listed as Jamaica and I round a referance to him in a Ring magazine as Jamaican. I'm finding the Nationality of these UK fighters a bit confusing at times especially based on what BoxRec shows. This being an example and another example being the fighter I'm working on now, Charlie Wilson (I'm going to spell his name Charley because I have another Charlie Wilson in the data base already and the Ring refers to him as Charley), his nationality as shown in BoxRec is Jamaican but his hometown is Aldgate, England and references both in Ring Record bood and a couple Ring magazines in 68, mention Aldgate and all his fights were in England with a couple in Wales. Why boxrec. lists him as Jamaican??
Anywho, I would change Rodney to Jamaican if you haven't done so already.
