Sometimes lightning does strike twice as WBO light flyweight champ Ivan Calderon had his rematch with Rodel Mayol at Coliseo Jose Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico end early for the same reason as their first pairing in June: a head clash.
One again Calderon was cut badly after a difficult test against the Filipino hard man but this time instead of the technical draw in June, the Guaynabo southpaw came away with a technical decision, winning two scorecards 68-65 while Mayol was awarded the third by the same margin.
Could a third clash between these two be on offer? Calderon has now seen his last three contests end early for the same reason.
Calderon retains the WBO belt for the fifth time and keeps an undefeated career mark of 33-0-1 (6), while Mayol drops to 25-4-1 (19). More...

There was a good bill last night at Centro Banamex in Mexico City with Juan Palacios, 26-2 (21), stopping Eric Ramirez, 26-7-1 (19), in the tenth frame to retain the Interim WBC minimumweight title.
Hard punching Nicaraguan Palacios has lived up to his "El Exterminador" nickname by posting his fifth straight stoppage in addition to his 15th consecutive win.
Super flyweight Ana Maria Torres, 18-3-2 (11), outpointed Usanakorn Kokietgym, 4-1 (4), over ten for the WBC Female crown and Gerson Guerrero, 34-8 (26), stopped Enrique Quevedo, 8-3 (5), in the ninth to capture the vacant NABF super flyweight belt. More...

MIguel Cotto and Joshua Clottey went to war last night over 12 hard rounds at New York's fabled Madison Square Garden with Cotto emerging still in possession of his WBO Welterweight title by a narrow split decision.
Clottey showed a massive heart by taking everything the Puerto Rican star could dish out while coming back time and time again with rattling combinations of his own.
The bout proved difficult to score as the pair went at it in close quarters and a Cotto knockdown of Clottey in the very first frame proved to be the deciding factor in the clash.
Cotto, who was cut in the third from a clash of heads, had much of his successes early and enjoyed a good round in the sixth when he went all out to stop Clottey but the challenger survived the shelling. More...

It was an epic card last night at Ruben Rodriguez Coliseum in Bayamon as there were a full four title fights, headlined by a WBO Light Flyweight championship defense by Ivan Calderon.
The 33 year old southpaw took on the man he won the WBO belt from, Mexico's Hugo Fidel Cazares, in a rematch to last year's bout in which Calderon had to climb off the floor in the eighth in order to pull out a split decision.
This time, Calderon was on his way to outboxing Cazares in a close, competitive bout until an accidental head clash produced a deep laceration on the forehead of the Puerto Rican icon and the bout was declared a technical decision in favor of Calderon at 1:58 of the seventh.
Calderon, who won twelve WBO minimumweight title fights, stays undefeated at 32-0 (6)while Cazares loses only his second bout in eight years, both to Calderon.
On the undercard, super feather Roman Martinez, 20-0-1 (12), stayed perfect with a sixth round TKO over Santos Benavides, 14-2-1 (12), to retain the WBO NABO crown.
Bantamweight Eric Morel, 39-2 (20), a former WBA Flyweight Champ, continued his comeback from a three year hiatus by winning his fourth contest on the bounce, posting a twelve round UD over veteran Heriberto Ruiz, 39-7-2 (23), who was down in the third.
Welter Euri Gonzalez, 17-0-1 (12), chinned Edwin Vasquez, 22-13-2 (8), in the second session to annex the vacant WBO Latino trophy.
