The two skilled strikers put forth a thrilling five-round war that kept the audience on the edge of their seats from bell to bell.

Morales opened the contest with relentless pressure, pushing Rodrigues on the back foot early. However, the defending world champion from Brazil soon found her stride, smartly attacking her Spanish opponent's midsection to turn the tide.

Rodrigues asserted her dominance slowly but surely as the bout progressed, landing crisp, punishing combinations consistently.

Morales showed grit and determination until the final bell, but Rodrigues' composed and commanding offense ultimately swayed all three judges, securing a unanimous decision win on the scorecards.

As soon as she was formally proclaimed as the victor, Rodrigues relished the triumph with her son inside the ring.
