Edgar Sosa's 25 bout win streak was snapped last night by Filipino Rodel Mayol, who stopped the Mexico City man in two to annex the WBC light flyweight title at Palenque de la Feria in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Mexico.

Sosa won the WBC strap in April, 2007 against Brian Viloria and had successfully retained the title 10 times. By contrast, Mayol had been unable to win a world title in four previous attempts including two against WBO light flyweight kingpin Ivan Calderon earlier this year when Calderon was cut and could not continue.

Once the bell rang, Sosa and Mayol went at it but things went ary in the second when the champion was forced to take a knee after a clash of heads. More...

Last night at the Grand Mayan in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, Giovanni Segura and Miguel Acosta won WBA title contests by stopping their opponents within the distance.

Segura, 21-1-1 (17), retained his WBA light flyweight strap for the first time by finishing off seasoned Filipino southpaw Juanito Rubillar, 46-13-7 (22), in the sixth round.

Rubillar, who took the bout on less than two day's notice, bravely endured a raft of punishment from the younger, quicker Segura until his corner stopped the one-sided fight at 2:04 of the sixth.

Venezulan banger Miguel Acosta, 26-3-2 (20), sparked out previously undefeated American contender Urbano Antillon, 26-1 (19), in the ninth round to win the Interim WBA lightweight crown. More...
