Marriaga scored a pair of knockdowns in the second round, while Cervera notched a flash knockdown of his own in the third. Marriaga’s body attack was too much, and Cervera elected to retire on his stool. "He was a last-minute opponent that came a little heavier than what I'm used to fighting, and that's why I focused on punishing the body,” Marriaga said. “He connected well with a solid punch and I went down, but he didn't hurt me badly. My plan was to punish him with body shots until he did not want to continue and finally he didn't come out to fight following the third round."
