Round 2: The crowd was firmly behind Pinedo, who found himself in control for most of the fight. Even though he was backing off again and again, it was actually Pinedo who had control. His counters saw Powell getting hurt. Powell went to the ground when he fell, but Pinedo refused to follow him down on the guard.

Pinedo kept looking for a way past the guard, but Powell was content with staying on the ground. Powell was hit with a hammer fist, but Powell refused to get up, and Pinedo ended the second round with a rush ground and pound.
