Thread: Did anyone see the Mayol - Sosa fight?

Going by the report of Fightnews it sounds like a bizarre TKO. Sosa gets headbutted unintentionally and is badly hurt and then gets TKO'd. Can anyone who saw the fight shed some light on what happened? Was the butt not seen by the ref?

Saturday night in Tuxtla Gutierrez in Chiappas, Mexico, Filipino challenger Rodel Mayol (25-4-1, 19 KOs) scored a second round TKO over longtime WBC light flyweight champion Edgar Sosa (37-5, 21 KOs), who was making his 11th defense (in 28 months). After Sosa was badly hurt by an unintentional headbutt, he was dropped again when action resumed and the referee waved it off moments later. Mayol was successful in his fifth attempt at a world title.

It's a Pinoy Tsunami

unintentional my ass, the dude headbutted Calderon left and right, and Calderon is like 5 inches shorter , guess his two wins over Mayol just go to prove he's still the best at 108

It was an intentional butt, that's why the ref took a point. He tried it a few times in the 1st. Sosa deserves a rematch. Although I will say Mayol is a vastly improved fighter from the guy who fought Solis.

we already have a thread on this.

What a fukking joke. Sosa deserved better. He needs to push for a rematch.

Really this is the only way Mayol can win a title

Have you seen the fight? I want to know what happened, the fightnews report is very vague.

VD is absolutely right, Sosa got fucked over, but if there's not a NC or a rematch after this then it will actually overtake Froch-Dirrell as my robbery of the year.

It was clearly an intentional butt by Mayol. Here's the 2nd round, it skips past the 1st which was an evenish round that I thought Mayol just edged.

I've never talked about headbutts this much in my life.

But look at the replay starting at 2:56, Mayol is leaned down throwing a right hand to the body and right after he starts that Sosa jumps in a little bit, if he doesn't do that I don't see how there would be a butt. I've heard there were other butts in the first round so maybe he was trying to but I don't see how you can tell just from that one that it was intentional.

Thinking about it though Mayol does have a habit of leading with his head.

Obviously bad luck for Sosa though.

Set up a co-feature, Sosa-Mayol 2 and Montiel-Valdez 2.
