Edgar Sosa Plans To Defend Four Times in 2009

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC junior flyweight champion Edgar Sosa (34-5, 18KOs) plans to make four defenses of his title in 2009. Sosa made four defenses of the title in 2008, stopping Juanito Rubillar, Takashi Kunishige and winning decisions over Jesus Iribe and Sonny Boy Jaro. [details]

calderon?? please!

I'd like to see some unification at 108 too! Honestly, I haven't seen much of Sosa to know how good (or bad) he is. Have you seen any of his fights???

Also, I've read that the reason a unification fight with Calderon doesn't happen is because Iron Boy wants the fight in the PR...is that accurate? If that's the case, I hope someone can put such a fight on a PPV undercard here in the States.

Would like to see Sosa either fight Calderon or Solis or simply move up. The flyweight champions could use some better competition anyway and do we really need to see Sosa beat up four more opponents along the lines of Sonny Boy Jaro and Jesus Iribe like he did in 2008?

[Kris Silver]

Great to see someone wanting to fight more than twice in one year. Double that, and that is damn good for the sport. Good luck to him.

I think he's trying to break Finito's title deffense record, let me know when he fights someone worth watching.

like i said man, the money for the little guys is in PR because calderon from 105-112 is the draw. sosa and solis are making 40k-60k per fight, while calderon is making 125k-150k per fight and plus he's an main event fighter.


the other title holder could be making double the money. there just simply ducking calderon.

Calderon vs Sosa on Cotto-Marg undercard ; make it happen!

[ferocity]

Caldron needs to give Czares a 3rd fight.

I think Sosa's stock is pretty high in Mexico City too though. Didn't his last fight with the Filipino fighter Rubillar draw well over 10,000 people and get really good TV ratings? He was the main event too.

I'd imagine a fight against Calderon would easily sellout and generate good money and very good paydays for both fighters.

I'm just saying, an arugment can be made both ways. If Sosa doesn't want to fight in PR because he's not comfortable with the judging, and viceversa with Calderon, then this should be done in the States.
