Hey Ghost
Just for the record, I think this is a different Angel Hernandez then the one that recently beat McGirt.

OK
that makes a lot more sense
They found a different Angel Hernandez
So I had it wrong
Man, how bad do you have to be to lose to Burton at this point ?
Yikes !

Hector Garcia, promoter of Mexican challenger Omar Nino was livid and expressed his frustration loudly, ?Rodel Mayol is a comedian and just laid on the mat to keep his title without fighting like a champion should. It was all a comedy. Omar was robbed of a legitimate victory.? It was yet another night of controversy for boxing?s most controversial champion, WBC light flyweight champion Rodel Mayol who kept his title in Guadalajara last night against Nino.
I agree with this to an extent. Mayol is one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen, fight after fight. He definitely got a taste of his own medicine last night. Mayol knew, if he laid on the mat and didn't get up, the pressure would be on Drakulich to take the KO away.
We saw this a year or so ago on Telemundo. Jose Reyes KO'ed Hinojosa with a questionable shot (low blow I believe, or late punch) and Hinojosa, who was completely fine, laid there ON PURPOSE. I remember weepaul at the time telling me "that fuker had no intention of getting up"
Mayol pulled the same crap. The dude wants to keep his title, literally, by any means necessary. I think he is completely full of shit.

I well remember that ...
I well remember that ...
Yep, Hinojosa got hit by a cuffing right hand to the back of the head and went down and stayed down in an acting job. (As I recall his trainer, the guy who always wears dark glasses in the corner, was leaning in and, it seemed, telling him to be sure to stay down.)
.... I am inclined to cut Mayol a bit of slack, Ghost. He got hit by a pretty good shot that he wasn't expecting. Yes, he likely could have got up, but his ability to fight would have been compromised. ... Edgar Sosa made a huge mistake (although mostly I blame his corner) by fighting on after getting his cheekbone cracked in the Mayol head clash incident. Sosa should have pulled the "blurred vision" dodge in the manner of, say, Rahman, Campbell or Camacho Jr. Sosa was either too dazed, too game or too damned proud to do this, and look where his pride and heart got him. Sometimes it is prudent for a fighter to do the sensible thing. Before the so-called "no foul" rule even the old-time fighters were occasionally known to try to cop a win by DQ when hit low. I'm afraid to say that the British heavyweight Phil Scott was notorious for this.

Hard to forget the fine acting job Francisco Lorenzo pulled after getting destroyed by Soto, but of course he had significant help from Joe Cortez and the various incompetents of the NSAC ringside that night.

Oh man Lorenzo was the worst of them all
what a joker !
Yeah, I'm being too hard on Mayol
He did the smart thing to keep the title
But he is shady character
willing to do whatever it takes
He obtained the title so unfairly (and lost me so much money doing it), that I have a personal anger towards the fighter
:142smilie :142smilie :142smilie
I would love for Edgar Sosa to get a rematch. At some point last night, Nino Romero was going to get stopped. But Sosa is a better fighter and, in a fair fight, would have good chance to take the title back.
Of course, I am beginning to think that FAIR FIGHT and MAYOL cannot be put in the same sentence...ever.
