Sensing that Ma was still hurt when he got up from the first knockdown, Petalcorin continued the pressure, sending his opponent down the second time. Ma bravely rose from the canvas but was pinned on the ropes and another barrage sent him down the third time.

With the three knockdown rule in effect in WBA title bouts, Referee Raul Caiz,Jr stopped the contest at the 1:46 mark.
