WBO flyweight champion Jesse Rodriguez and IBF flyweight champion Sunny Edwards competed last night at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
Going into the WBO and IBF flyweight unification bout, Rodriguez was slightly favoured by the oddsmakers and it was quite evident why. He had his foot on the gas from the first bell as he dominated Edwards for the entirety of the bout.
Rodriguez's constant pressure made it hard for Sunny Edwards to find his feet in the fight. Moreover, Edwards took a lot of damage in the fight and it looked like the damage he suffered in this fight was more than he had endured in his previous 20 fights.

Rodriguez secured an emphatic knockdown towards the end of the ninth-round. While Edwards managed to get up, he was in no condition to fight following the end of the round and his corner decided to throw in the towel before the tenth round started. This is undoubtedly 'Bam's' biggest victory yet as he improved to 19-0 while unifying the WBO and IBF flyweight titles.
