As the fight went deeper, ‘Sniper’ looked more comfortable. In rounds six and seven, he unleashed a violet side in the ring and seemingly dismantled Rodriguez. Meanwhile, the American pugilist decided to revive himself in the bout.
However, he had taken a lot of punishment already and didn’t have the chance to win on the scoreboard. Hence, stoppage victory appeared to be the only option left for Rodriguez. While he seemed ready for that, Jose Pedraza had other plans in his mind.
What a mood. Earned.

The American boxer’s cornermen stopped the fight. So, Pedraza could walk away as the winner via RTD and Rodriguez had to witness the maiden loss of his pro career.
