The contest featured undefeated WBC super flyweight champion making the first defense of his title against former two-time 115-pound titleholder.
The scheduled for twelve rounds world championship bout didn’t go the full distance. In Round 7 Rodriguez scored an eight-count dropping Rungvisai with left hook. In the next, and what turned to be the final rounds, the champion continued dominating delivering a barrage of strikes.
The referee stepped in and waved the fight off at 1 minute and 50 seconds into the eighth round.

“My skills proved a point tonight,” said Rodriguez after the fight. “My team know what I am capable of and what I bring to the table, that’s why we took the fight.”
“I felt I started to break him down after three rounds, the power wasn’t there from him. I knew I couldn’t stand there but we came in and put on a show. I was using my angles more, Robert kept telling me to do that and I listened.”
“The Cuadras fight gave me experience and put me here, fighting at home in San Antonio. I will do whatever Robert says, I am a special fighter not an average fighter and I am here to stay.”
