The fourth round was going to be difficult for both fighters. On the one hand, if Rubio recovered, if he won that round, he would have the fight secured, there would be no risk of losing and the physical torture would end. On the other hand, Ratón needed that victory if he wanted to win in the final.

The problem was that Rubio was very tired for an aggressive approach, and Ratón knew that if he won and went to a fifth round, anything could happen. Fatigue and accumulated damage were merciless enemies even for the best fighter, and they were only children with some talent.

In the eyes of the two boys there was a clear decision, to go for it all in the round, there was no other option.
