Ballard was boxing in a technical manner in the first round as Munguia was just warming up and not doing much. Munguia began to open up more in the second. It was still a pretty low output by Munguia, with Ballard going after the body.

In the third, Munguia was starting to go to the head and body, he clipped Ballard with a big hook and rocked him bad. A few more punches sent Ballard down. Ballard beat the count, but he was peppered with more punches until the referee jumped in.
