Imanol Rodriguez starts round one with a strong calf kick followed by a fizzing hook that grazed past Kevin Borjas’ ear.
Rodriguez goes for another combination but gets caught hard by Borjas and drops back to the floor. Borjas rushes him on the floor but loses his advantage as Rodriguez mounts Borjas and recovers. Rodriguez stands up to change position before settling back into a half mount. Still looking for the full mount, but Borjas holds to restrict the movement. Rodriguez makes minimal space for some elbows as Borjas continues to hold and shift his head side to side.
Rodriguez continues to burrow his forearm against the face of Borjas in search of some concrete space. Huge elbow from Rodriguez lights up the right brow of Borjas. But Borjas does manage to stand Rodriguez back up for the end of the round.
Round two starts with more of a feeling-out process than the round before. Official time out is called after Rodriguez inadvertently pokes the eye of Borjas. The exchange is resumed and Borjas lands two accurate shots to the face of Rodriguez, but that prompts Rodriguez to up the tempo with some front clinch knees.
Rodriguez lands a solid right overhand to drop Borjas, following up with swinging shots as the referee ran in to stop the match.
