Did anyone see the Mayol - Sosa fight?

[Violent Demise]

Mayol does lead with his head alot...unintentional or not shouldnt the referee have to give Sosa som time to recuperate? should be a no contest really Sosa waz hurt badly by the butt.

He was hurt bad. He suffered a fracture cheek bone

No way he should be DQ'd for a headbutt that didn't even look intentional, that's absurd. He should have been given more time if anything but you can't say the ref was on Mayol's side, dude took a point for the first butt of the night and one that you can't say was intentional cause Sosa jumped into him.

at the very least, this fight should have been called a no-contest. but since it was not, i'm hoping the WBC will do it!

statement from mayol:

Mayol, 28, stopped Sosa in the second round to wrest the WBC 108-pound title in Chiapas, Mexico, last Saturday. That same night in Merida, another town in Mexico, Segura knocked out Filipino challenger Sonny Boy Jaro with a single body shot in the first round to retain the WBA crown.

“I’ve sparred with Segura before and I know I can beat him,” Mayol told The STAR. “Winning the world championship is something I’ve dreamed of for years. Now that I’ve finally done it, I plan to stay a world champion for a long time. I want to unify the lightflyweight championship. I’d like to fight Segura.

Mayol said he doubts if Sosa was in condition to fight when they faced off. At the weigh-in the day before the match, Mayol suspected the Mexican’s camp was up to no good.

“First, we were told the weigh-in would be at 1 p.m., then it was moved to 2 p.m. and later to 3 p.m.,” said Mayol. “We heard Sosa was buying time to make the limit. There was some confusion at the weigh-in and we never got to see the scales when Sosa weighed in. Too many people were around him. Sosa went up the scales then got off right away and somebody announced he made the weight.”

“After the headbutt, Sosa seemed okay,” recalled Mayol. “Then, I hit him with a right and a left. I knew he was hurt. I didn’t let him go. I was determined to win. I think he’s just using the headbutt as an excuse for losing. He has the option for a rematch and I’ll fight him again anytime, anywhere.”
