Emmanuel Rodríguez Vázquez vs. Melvin Josias López Estrada & Travon Marshall vs. Gabriel Maestre RBR

Round 11

Rodríguez is nailing López with the lead right hand, bang on the nose, unobstructed. A few right jabs by López, but he isn't keeping Rodríguez out with it. The swelling has gotten VERY bad, but so far the ref and doctor and corner letting Rodríguez continue on with it, and he is still the ring general and the man throwing & landing more, and in more variety. López reduced to running and jabbing when there is literally TKO win for him on the table if he just sells out and eats some shots to mangle that eye as much as possible before time runs out.

10-9 Rodríguez

109-100 Rodríguez

 

Round 12

López is getting chased down and jabbed at by Rodríguez, and holding whenever he can. Rodríguez throwing combinations now, whiffing some fast hooks into the chin, turning some of the growing boos from the crowd into murmurs of excitement. López throwing away a chance to become champ on a golden platter IF HE WOULD JUST GO AFTER THE SWOLLEN EYE. Instead he just runs and runs. López is hit with a three shot combo by Rodríguez and goes down by the ropes with a little over half a minute left in the contest. He's up and immediately trounced down again. Up, and in zooms Rodríguez with more shots. The ref being very forgiving, gives López a THIRD count instead of just waving it off. Saved by the bell.

10-6 Rodríguez

119-106 Rodríguez

 

No three knockdown rule in effect under the auspices of the Maryland State Athletic Commission. If this were California, that's a TKO for ManRod.
