Eagle Kyowa vs Rodel Mayol Today Any Info ??

Great fight. Mayol was really laying a beating on him over the 1st half of the fight, and then Kyowa found his rythem. Mayol seemed discouraged he didn't score a stoppage, and his conditioning faded in the late rounds. I thought Kyowa won it 114-113 with the knock down in the 12th, but both guys made a very exciting account of themselves. This was a very good fight and the boxing world should pay more attention to these little guys. have you seen this article ? great review of the fight http://www.fightfan.com/recaps/0506-Mayol-Kyowa.htm Two Super Straws Emerge! By Ace Freeman Ace recaps the Mayol-Kyowa fight from this past weekend WBC Minimumweight Champ Eagle Kyowa survived challenger Rodel Mayol over 12 brutal rounds to retain his title. May 8, 2006 In yet another fight that stands out as an early candidate for fight of the year, Japan-based Den Junlaphan, popularly known as Eagle Kyowa of Thailand, won a hard fought unanimous decision over previously undefeated Rodel Mayol of the Philippines. All three judges scored the fight in favor of Kyowa: Gale Van Hoy of the USA scoring the contest 117-110, Chuck Hassett also of the US had it 115-112, and Alejandro Rochin of Mexico had a tighter score of 114-113. FightFan.com was on par with Rochin, with Kyowa ahead by one point ,114-113. The powerful Mayol started the fight out very strong landing heavy shots inside the champion’s blows in the first round. Mayol’s left hook continued to find the mark as he landed it often while mixing in powerful uppercuts. In the second round Mayol had Kyowa reeling as he began to mix in a blistering body attack. The power punching Mayol had Kyowa’s face swollen after only a few rounds and had the champion on the retreat. Mayol maintained an aggressive and torrid pace sweeping the first half of the fight until Kyowa started to show signs of life in the 6th. Opening up a cut on the challenger’s face, Kyowa was beginning to solve Mayol’s aggression by adjusting to his rhythm. After the midway point in the fight the Champion effectively bent at the waist and countered in an awkward rhythm and began to effectively thwart Mayol’s attack. As the rounds wore on, Kyowa’s counter punching became more and more effective as his change in rhythm seemed to have the younger challenger discouraged. Mayol’s earlier torrid pace he had established began to take it’s toll on him as his conditioning started to fade late in the fight. By the ninth round a tired Mayol began to wilt as his fatigue began to match his frustration. Kyowa’s counter punching and rhythm saw him take over the latter stages in the fight as he rocked the tired Mayol in the tenth. In the 12th round a viciously placed counter shot took Mayol’s legs away, and smelling blood the Champion pounced on him scoring the fight’s only knock down. Mayol, showing a warrior’s heart, rose to his feet and gallantly fought back until the final bell. As it would turn out, on my scorecard, as well as on one of the official cards, the knock down in the twelfth round was enough to swing the fight into the Champion’s favor. Despite losing for the first time in his young career, 24 year old Pinoy sensation Rodel Mayol showed he is a terror in the Minimumweight division, giving one of the division’s best fighters all he could handle. Kyowa, a young 27 years of age himself, showed why he is one of the top fighters in the world in his weight class, showing a tremendous chin and an iron will weathering a brutal storm over the first half of the fight. Despite Kyowa walking away with the WBC Minimumweight title and Mayol receiving the first blemish on his otherwise perfect record, there were no losers on this night as the boxing world was treated to a fantastic fight in it’s smallest division. Often overlooked in light of the more marquee divisions, two Minimumweights emerged as budding stars on the world stage, and the boxing world got that much better for it.

well now everybody can decide for themselves http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3TORS9PC Eagle Kyowa vs. Rodel Mayol watch the guy i say would fuck up ivan calderon

I thought Mayol did enough to win or a draw.. Maybe I'm just bias but I thought rnds. 1-7 went to Mayol and the rest to Eagle . I scored it 114-113 for Mayol including the KD . Anyway ,this is just my opinion. That was a great fight and it's definitely one of the best fights I've seen so far this year. I hope we see a rematch. :cool:

Saw the fight too.I was very confident of a Mayol victory.He tried his best to KO Eagle from round's 1 to 5.And he came close to doing it.Eagle was almost out on his feet and his face was a mess.Unfortunately, as was pointed out in the threads above, he gassed out. Looks like his trainers didnt consider the possibility that it may go the 12 round distance.From what i heard, they really were afraid of going to the scorecard.With Japans reputation for decisions, I cant say I blame them.So they geared Mayol to go for KO.Looks like the plan backfired when Eagle wouldnt go down. ;P But it was a clear win for Kyowa.Congrats to him.

Cold threads are poison to fighters. If you needed proof, this was it. Hey cold, who are you rooting for in Taylor Winky? Just so I know who to put my money on.

Mayol had stamina for a 6-round fight only. When was the last time he lasted the full route? He fought a furious pace expecting Eagle to fold just like the previous opponents he's been knocking out one after another. The problem is - when an opponent just smiles back to your powerpunches and just won't go down, can you sustain your attack? Pacquiao is simply a freak of nature IMO, RE Barrera fight. I've read posts that Mayol employed the wrong strategy. I'd say it's the only way to fight Eagle - overwhelm him. Aguirre, Takayama, Bustos tried to box and brawl him at spots, but they were simply dominated and counterpunched all night. As for Eagle, now we know just how tough and durable he is. His stamina is superb and his punches are so accurate. He's like a mini-version of JMM @105, excellent boxing and counterpunching skills. Never throws a single punch, always 2~3 punch combo with precision. He's the best @105 at the moment IMO, until Calderon proves this otherwise. Now, let's have that unification fights with Kyowa-Niida-Calderon. :) BTW, IBF champ Rachman TKOd Soto, he deserves to be in this tournament.

working on it buddy

TOLD YALL FUCKERS KYOWA WOULD DO IT HELL YEAH BRING ON THAT BITCH ASS CALDERON SO WE CAN WRECK HIS CHINA CHIN CALDERON WILL DUCK HIM I GUARANTEE IT yep the bustos thing was an eagle shoulder injury not a real loss condolences to mayols fans he can bounce back maybe now calderon will fight him if u know what i mean he he, how sweet it is bro ? ENJOY IT WHILE IT LAST .... but like you now I want to see Eagle against Ivan ...

yes you are most likely right unfortunately but if one does i expect itd be kyowa to leave his turf heck i would hope so that way he would prove me right in calderons turf calderon will move up i think or maybe cause the fight wont get made cause yeah i doubt either guy is scared to fight the other really but i would bet someone else a side bet that baya dont pay up if the fight ever does happen

TOLD YALL FUCKERS KYOWA WOULD DO IT HELL YEAH BRING ON THAT BITCH ASS CALDERON SO WE CAN WRECK HIS CHINA CHIN CALDERON WILL DUCK HIM I GUARANTEE IT yep the bustos thing was an eagle shoulder injury not a real loss condolences to mayols fans he can bounce back maybe now calderon will fight him if u know what i mean LMAO! Congrats bro. Mark my words, Kyowa vs Calderon will never happen! Both fighters will not leave their turf.

TOLD YALL FUCKERS KYOWA WOULD DO IT HELL YEAH BRING ON THAT BITCH ASS CALDERON SO WE CAN WRECK HIS CHINA CHIN CALDERON WILL DUCK HIM I GUARANTEE IT yep the bustos thing was an eagle shoulder injury not a real loss condolences to mayols fans he can bounce back maybe now calderon will fight him if u know what i mean

any video guys?? thanks in advance ... ace & katz i think you scored the fight a lot closer than the judges ... but I presume it was a clear victory for Eagle ...

Trust me, if Mayol can't even get past Kyowa's boxing skills, what more do you are his chances against Calderon? Just like Pacquiao, Mayol's chance is when his opponent tries to slug it out with him. Now, we'll get to see boxer vs boxer instead of boxer vs puncher. a lot of difference bro between PAC and Mayol (STAMINA) ... as posted in PACLAND, Rodel gassed out from round 5, he exhausted a lot of energy trying to KO Eagle early on but paid dearly at the end, even got floored at round 12, Eagles performance i heard was not perfect, but he had stamina, trailling the fight on the first 5 Rounds, he clearly outworked Rodel from the six to the last round .... I am still waiting for someone to share the fight

Holy shit, and I've been biting my tongue on bringing up that Kyoma lost to Isaac Bustos (who Calderon domininated) by KO in 4 rounds. I seen the video against Bustos, Kyowa was outboxing Bustos but in the middle of the 3rd round he injured his right/left shoulder, next round the fight was stopped rewarding Bustos with a TKO .... as I have seen in the video, no way did Bustos came close to Eagle...

just watched the replay, kyowa did enough to decision mayol. rodel ran out of steam, and kyowa got his second wind going. the plan to attack eagle early proved too much for rodel and he was visibly getting tired in the last 3 rounds. he clearly won the first five rounds and eagle almost went out on each of those rounds. whoever scored that 110-117 was a fucked up bitch. rodel should work on his stamina if he ever wants to engage with calderon.

This or next year, hes gonna fight Vilora, so theres still a big fight set. Boxer vs Puncher. I think Calderon should unify titles @ 105 first before he goes to Viloria. And it's not gonna be easy being the undisputed minimumweight champion because Calderon's gonna have to fight those Thai and Japanese champions in their turf.

TOKYO -- Eagle Kyowa of Thailand successfully defended his WBC 105-pound title Saturday with a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Rodel Mayol of the Philippines. Kyowa took the final five rounds and floored Mayol in the last round to win 115-112, 114-113, 117-110 on the judges' cards. The Thai trailed early but scored with his left hand late in the 12-round bout. Kyowa, who is based in Japan, improved to 16-1 with six knockouts. It was Mayol's first loss in 23 bouts.

Damn, i wanted to see Mayol go after Calderon, DAMN Trust me, if Mayol can't even get past Kyowa's boxing skills, what more do you are his chances against Calderon? Just like Pacquiao, Mayol's chance is when his opponent tries to slug it out with him. Now, we'll get to see boxer vs boxer instead of boxer vs puncher.
