Farenas was bloodied in both of his eyes, courtesy of Pedrazas accurate and hard punches. He fought a game fight against a very good opponent, he kept pressing Pedraza throughout the fight despite suffering the injury to his eyes in the early stages of the bout. But Pedraza made the Filipino missed with his punches and the knockout punch from Farenas never came.
