Lindolfo Delgado denied Elvis Rodriguez the redemption he sought Saturday night in Las Vegas.

The Mexican junior welterweight contender pressed the action throughout their 10-round bout, overcame getting hurt in the ninth round and did just enough to win their tactical encounter by majority decision on the Richard Torrez-Guido Vianello undercard at Palms Casino Resort’s Pearl Theater. Judges Eric Cheek and David Sutherland scored Delgado a 96-94 winner, which nullified judge Chris Migliore’s 95-95 score.

Delgado (23-0, 16 KOs) produced the most noteworthy win of the 2016 Olympian’s eight-year professional career. He also ended Rodriguez’s six-fight winning streak.

Rodriguez (17-2-1, 13 KOs), a Dominican southpaw trained by Freddie Roach, hadn’t lost since Chicago’s Kenneth Sims upset him by majority decision in their eight-rounder in May 2021 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

Neither Rodriguez nor Delgado is ranked among The Ring’s top 10 junior welterweights, but they both entered the ring rated by the IBF, WBC and WBO.

Delgado is rated fifth by the WBC, seventh by the IBF and eighth by the WBO. Rodriguez is ranked fifth by the IBF, 14th by the WBO and 15th by the WBC.

Their fight was initially approved as an IBF elimination match for the unoccupied No. 2 spot in its junior welterweight rankings. The IBF withdrew its sanction Friday once it learned Delgado-Rodriguez was a 10-round bout because IBF eliminators must be scheduled for 12 rounds.

Rodriguez went after Delgado from the start of the 10th round because he hurt Delgado during the ninth round. Swelling below Rodriguez’s right eye made it difficult for him to see, but he tried as best he could to make those final three minutes of their fight competitive.

Delgado landed the cleaner head and body shots during the 10th round of a fight both boxers realized was close.

Delgado caught an aggressive Rodriguez with a left hook several seconds before the halfway point of the 10th round.

Rodriguez drilled Delgado directly on his chin with a straight left that knocked a disoriented Delgado into the ropes and across the ring with just under a minute to go in the ninth round. The ropes held up Delgado, but referee Allen Huggins didn’t call it a knockdown.

A right by Delgado landed after the midway mark of the sixth round. Rodriguez went on the offensive after taking that shot, but Delgado defended himself well while he moved backward.

Delgado landed three right hands within a 15-second span in the fifth round. None of those shots hurt Rodriguez, yet noticeable swelling began to develop beneath Rodriguez’s left eye by that point in their fight.

Rodriguez landed a left-right combination to Delgado’s body later in the fifth round.

Rodriguez drilled Delgado with another left hand that snuck around Delgado’s guard with about 1:15 to go in the fourth round. Delgado responded by landing his right hand with just over 50 seconds remaining in the fourth round, but Rodriguez responded with a left hand of his own.

It took Rodriguez almost three full rounds, but he finally landed a straight left with just under 10 seconds on the clock in the third round. He couldn’t find an opening to land a clean punch during the first two minutes and 50 seconds of the third round.

Delgado pressed the action in each of the first two rounds. He didn’t land many punches in those six minutes, but a cautious Rodriguez wasn’t active or accurate in the first or second rounds.
