Popular Chicago super bantamweights Francisco “El Nino Azteca” Rodriguez and Ivan “The Baby Faced Assassin” Rodriguez squared off in a Mexican vs. Puerto Rican cross-town showdown known as “Pride” for the Illinois State Super Bantamweight Title on Friday at Chicago’s Congress Theater. Francisco improved his record to 10-1 (7 KOs) as he punished Ivan (8-4-1, 3 KOs) for six rounds before the bout was stopped on advice from the ringside physician because Ivan’s left eye was swollen shut. They both exchanged very often as each man tried to gain the upper hand in the scheduled eight-round bout. [details]
