Edgar Sosa Will Protest TKO Loss To Rodel Mayol

[theplayerpimp]

Why the hell would Mayol get disqualified? That was just as much as Sosa's fault than Mayol. If you look at the replay, Sosa came forward more than Mayol did.



watch 2:54

Naw that **** looked intentional he throws his head in and his punch is way behind. He doesn't even throw a punch.

No way men. Holt Actually KOd Torres with his head.

This time, Sosa had time to recup or just complain and get out of teh fight.

He lost teh fist round and was in route to lose teh second too.


Sosa was getting hurt by a PR featherfisted journey, Mayol actually have power.

[RightCross94]

And calderun has done it twice to Hugo Cazares and twice to Mayol to escape a gift decision. Calderun should be called a hjeadbutting cheater too! LOL.

Have you ever thought why lots of Calderon fights end up with headclashes stopping the fight?

a) He's a southpaw
b) His opponents find difficulty hitting him, and often get wild and lean in when attacking

calderun.. 1st time i hear it...

how can you blame sosa???dude was probably dazed as hell if anyone should be crucified, its his corner who didnt buy him the 5 mins he was entitled to....that was their job.....you just dont like sosas because you havent even seen him fight eough....otherwise you wouldnt hold it against him that he strugled with that puerto rican......sosa is a very bad starter.......dont be ignorant.....youre probably also mad that sosa is "ducking" calderun the ****....youre not objective so stfu

mayol was a bad match up and very dangerous, mayol is one of those fighters who has it all physically except a chin and non punchers(like sosa) cant exploit that, and may as well have won without headbutts, im not saying sosa got koed directly by the butt like torres, but it did end the fight for him.....**** was hard as hell and broke his orital bone.......he was finished........

MADNESS IN MEXICO
Graham Houston

SATURDAY, Nov. 21 Just when you think you’ve seen it all, you realise that you haven’t.

I’m still in shock over the ending to the Edgar Sosa-Rodel Mayol light-flyweight title fight in Mexico tonight.

When you talk about travesties in boxing, this was one of the worst you will ever see — and it happened on Sosa’s home ground in Tuxtla Gutierrez.

Everyone will have read about this crazy ending by now. For those who didn’t see it, let me briefly set the scene.

Mayol was fighting strongly and confidently but Sosa, always a somewhat slow starter, was boxing in his usual cool, measured manner when suddenly, in round two, Mayol came in with head lowered and the top of his crewcut skull smashed into Sosa’s face, sending the champion to the canvas on hands and knees.

The fight should have been waved over immediately and ruled a no decision. It would have been disappointing to the crowd and viewers watching on Televisa in Mexico and worldwide on the internet, but it would have been the appropriate decision.

Yet the Puerto Rican referee Roberto Ramirez Jr., after deducting a point from Mayol, waved the boxers to continue.

Of course, the Filipino Mayol, a very good puncher, steamed right through the still-shaken Sosa and overwhelmed him with a barrage of blows to bring the referee’s intervention.

This was absolute madness. Where was the five-minute break to which a boxer is entitled after being fouled (accidentally or otherwise)? Why didn’t Sosa’s corner remonstrate with the referee and seek to buy some time for their fighter? In this situation a quick-thinking and experienced cornerman can save the day. Of course, I can think of a few fighters who would surely have bailed out had they been in Sosa’s position, who would have said they could not continue — and no one could have blamed them.

I think that Sosa was too proud (or maybe too dazed) to comprehend fully what was going on. His trainer should have been screaming at the referee, doing everything possible to get the fighter some desperately needed minutes of recovery time.

Let me tell you, I was astonished to the point of disbelief when Ramirez gave the signal to box on. Sosa’s ability to fight had been seriously compromised. As soon as I saw his legs as he tried to move away from Mayol, I knew he had no chance of getting through the round — the collision had taken him completely out of the contest.

How can incidents such as this be allowed to happen in boxing? WBC president Jose Sulaiman and his son Mauricio were at ringside. Shouldn’t they have called over the referee as soon as Mayol’s head had hammered Sosa to the floor and conferred with the official? Trust me, that is what Larry Hazzard would have done when he was New Jersey boxing commissioner and that’s what Marc Ratner would have done when he was executive director of the Nevada commission.

Why can’t boxing get things right?

For Sosa, getting knocked down by a full-impact head butt was worse than if he had been dropped by a punch — he might even have been mildly concussed.

I can’t blame Mayol for seizing the moment and going in to finish off his stricken opponent — that’s his job.

However, I do blame Sosa’s corner, the referee and the WBC for allowing a fighter to continue when clearly he was in no position to defend himself.

Had the fight taken place in Manila, the Mexican faction would have been protesting loud and long about being victims of a fiasco in the Philippines, yet this farce occurred in their own country.

Seeing is believing, but I still can’t believe what I witnessed in that Mexican ring this Saturday night. Poor Sosa. Poor boxing, come to that. Only in boxing can this sort of thing happen so consistently.

A great British comedian of years ago, Arthur Askey, had a famous catch phrase that was once in wide currency in the U.K. and which sums up my feelings about tonight's fight. In Arthur's immortal words: “Doesn’t it make you want to spit?”

Well you are right about that.

Ive seen Sosa fight like 10 times already including his fight with Soto who is feather fisted and was hurting him bad. Based on that fight I predicted a KO win for Mayol. Dude have power and Sosa dont like those.


Im not ojective but you are, right? **** outta here with your bull****
