Emmanuel Rodriguez regained the IBF bantamweight title Saturday night that he lost to a "Monster" four years ago. Rodriguez knocked Melvin Lopez to the canvas three times in the final 45 seconds of their 12-round, 118-pound championship match and easily won it by unanimous decision at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. Judges Waleska Roldan (120-105), Robin Taylor (120-105) and Paul Wallace (120-105) all scored their "Showtime Championship Boxing" main event a shutout for the 31-year-old Rodriguez.
