Former WBC light flyweight champion Omar Nino Romero (28-3-2, 11 KO?s) predicts he will knock out reigning champion Rodel Mayol (26-4-2, 20 KO?s) or win by a wide margin on the judges scorecards.
The title fight is scheduled to take place at the Plaza de Toros in Queretaro, Mexico on June 19 in a fight card of Zanfer Promotions.
It is a rematch of their controversial encounter last February 27 when Omar Nino Romero dropped Mayol with a clear low blow and just as referee Vic Drackulich was moving in to stop the action Nino Romero caught Mayol with a left hook when he was down and knocked him out.
After some confusion the WBC officially announced the result as a no-contest enabling Mayol to retain the title he had won also in somewhat controversial fashion from Edgar Sosa last February 27 in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Mayol scored a second round TKO when he caught Sosa on the ropes and threw a flurry of unanswered punches following an accidental head-butt in round one that made Sosa groggy. It was later discovered that the head-butt fractured Sosa?s cheekbone.
Boxingscene.com quoted Nino Romero as saying "It will be a great fight the second time around against Mayol and now I'm going to knock him out or dominate him on points widely. There will be a new champion."
Well-known Zanfer CEO Fernando Beltran said he expects a good fight, because the public will be watching after what happened in the first fight.
Beltran said "It's a fight we all want to see after what happened in their first fight, and I'm sure there will be a winner this time."
