In the fourth round, Rodriguez landed a big counter that shook his opponent’s legs.

Russell was looking for change in the fifth round as he fired his punches. But Rodriguez continued to box well and out landed Russell in the sixth and seventh round.

Then another clash of heads happened in the ninth round, again making a cut open on Rodriguez – this time under his left eye.

The two returned to their corners, but in the opening of the tenth round, the fight was stopped due to Rodriguez’s injury.
