Bell, seemingly on the verge of losing his title in his first defense, connects with two rights to the head, sending Rothmann face first onto the canvas. He would remain down for several minutes.
Bell was knocked down at the end the 4th round, but a confused Kimmons failed to acknowledge it. Bell was penalized points in both the 7th and 9th rounds for low blows.
