Sosa, Melo Meet Face to Face, Predict Victory on 6/20

By Mark Vester

WBC junior flyweight champion Edgar Sosa met face to face with his June 20th opponent, Carlos Melo. The fight takes place at Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Melo is a very big underdog but Sosa promises to stay focused and not make any mistakes. He wants to put on a very big performance in the fight, hoping that it pushes him into a big unification bout.

"The key to my success is to never get over-anxious and over-confident. You have to stay hungry," Sosa said. "I've trained very hard for this fight."

Melo expects a slow start, using a few rounds to figure Sosa out and then he plans to turn up the heat.

"I expect complications in the first three or four rounds.  We are going to come on the side, and hit him with solid punches to the body to slow him down. We believe a knockout can happen. It's always circumstancial. If I hurt him, I won't let him escape," Melo said.
