Bout Summary
After a "feeling out" opening round, bout fighters opened up in Round 2 and threw aggressive, often wild power punches. A right hand near the end of Round 3 sent Rodela staggering backward and nearly to the mat. He was, however, able to maintain his balance and keep his feet. One minute into Round 4, Rodelo caught Diaz with a jab, straight-right combination that sent Diaz backward and it appeared he was going to take a knee. He remained bent over and despite the fact that his right glove held on to the middle rope and it appeared his left glove touched the mat, he was never ruled down and the fight continued.
