Jerwin Ancajas wins thriller against Jonathan Javier Rodriguez

IBF World Super-flyweight champion Jerwin Ancajas made the ninth successful defence of his title against a real warrior in Jonathan Javier Rodriguez on the triple-header from the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut featuring Jaron Ennis vs Sergey Lipnets and Eimantas Stanionis vs Thomas Dulorme.

Rodriguez established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the division with a spirited performance that only just fell short due to an 8th round knockdown by the champion.
