SOSA CUT BADLY, BUT PRAISES RUBILLAR


PhilBoxing.com




The 31 year old Rubillar (46-11-7, 22 KOs) was unable to escape the aggressive Sosa despite his efforts to fight back on occasions and after absorbing a hard shot to the liver according to journalist and fight judge Rey Danseco, was groggy and after a flurry of punches referee Harold Laurence stepped in to end the contest with six seconds remaining in round seven.

It was only the second time that Rubillar was stopped in a career where he has battled for the world title or interim crown no less than five times. He praised Sosa as “a great champ[ion” adding I gave it my best but it wasn’t enough.”

WBC president Don Jose Sulaiman said it was “a fantastic fight” and that Rubillar “came to fight, not to box. Sosa put on one of his classiest performances and devastated Rubillar in the seventh round. You cannot image the emotion among the huge crowd of fans. It was a fight that was good for everybody, especially for the WBC and the sport of boxing.”
