    It's all over!

    Rodriguez gets the finish his performance deserves to rubberstamp his dominance.

    What a performance.

    Martinez is caught and down he goes.

  3. Round ninepublished at 00:56 GMT

    Rodriguez v Martinez

    After a back-and-forth battle in the last title fight between Mason and Noakes, the atmosphere has dropped off as Rodriguez coasts to victory.

    Martinez shows more than he has in the previous rounds as he lands a hook but Rodriguez is unbothered.

    Martinez is showing huge heart and spirit.

  5. Round eightpublished at 00:51 GMT

    Rodriguez v Martinez

    We're seeing the difference in levels here.

    Rodriguez is dismantling an undefeated world champion round-by-round.

    All that's missing from this performance is a finish and there's still plenty of time for that.

    I think there will be a situation where Rodriguez puts his foot down and goes for the finish. The entire Martinez corner looks a bit shell-shocked.

  7. Round sevenpublished at 00:47 GMT

    Rodriguez v Martinez

    "He's hurt, he's hurt," is the shout from Rodriguez's corner as he digs a left to the body and Martinez backs off.

    Rodriguez goes after him but the Argentinean is showing some serious resilience.

    Another one-sided round.

    Martinez is a man who doesn't know how to lose, but he's learning to lose tonight.

    The confirmation that we wanted...

    "My nose is hurting," Martinez says to his corner between rounds.

  11. Round sixpublished at 00:43 GMT

    Rodriguez v Martinez

    There's just no let-up for Martinez and nowhere to hide.

    Rodriguez keeps walking forward and firing at will.

    Good work to the body is followed by a combination to the head.

  12. Round fivepublished at 00:39 GMT

    Rodriguez v Martinez

    It feels like Rodriguez is in second gear right now.

    The American catches Martinez clean with an uppercut and the Argentinean backs off.

    Martinez keeps touching his nose. It could be broken.

    Rodriguez knows how to finish - he has 15 stoppages from 22 wins - is he going to step it up for another statement victory?

    Martinez is looking a bit sorry for himself in that corner, and I can understand why

  14. Round fourpublished at 00:36 GMT

    Rodriguez v Martinez

    Rodriguez was already leading the way for % of total jabs to connect among top boxers - see here - and he's pulling further clear.

    Martinez just can't find an entry route. Rodriguez is peppering the jab and throwing in the occasional hook.

    Comfortable at the moment.

    What an exhibition that round was from Rodriguez, sensational stuff!

  17. Round threepublished at 00:31 GMT

    Rodriguez v Martinez

    Rodriguez missed the open workout on Wednesday to be with his wife for the birth of their second child.

    It doesn't look like he's been missing much sleep over the past few days - he's fresh and running this bout.

    Martinez has some blood coming from his nose he eats another stiff jab.

    Rodriguez cuts down space, gently takes away your rhythm and makes you work relentlessly.

  19. Round twopublished at 00:27 GMT

    Rodriguez v Martinez

    Rodriguez has so many attributes and he's already putting them to good use.

    The American's footwork sees him slip away before returning with spiteful shots. Martinez needs to try and get a read.
