Parra, who is 22 years old was not intimidated and in the second round sent Parejo to the canvas with a straight to the chin, and it took Parejo a little to get over it. However, the former world champion gave everything in the third round and with good upper combined with left hook to the face managed to return the medicine to his opponent. In the fifth chapter was the third and final fall of this battle, again Parra knocked Parejo down after an exchange in the middle of the ring.
