Former WBC light flyweight champion Rodel Mayol will fight IBF super flyweight champion Juan Carlos Sanchez Jr in a venue some two hours from Tijuana, Mexico, but there?s no date as yet.
MP Promotions Michael Koncz, Manny Pacquiao?s adviser told the Manila Standard that the 21 year old Sanchez who has a record of 14-1-1 with 7 knockouts ?has no power and I think Rodel has a good chance. He?s getting old and he?s got to do it.?
Mayol is 31 years old and has a record of 31-5-2 with 22 knockouts.
He is coming off a dominating ten round unanimous decision over former world flyweight champion Julio Cesar ?Pingo? Miranda last May 13 at the Ynares Sports Center in Pasig in a fight promoted by Solar Sports.
Mayol?s biggest win was a 2nd round TKO over then WBC light flyweight champion Edgar Sosa on November 21, 2009 but Mayol lost the title by a unanimous twelve round decision to Omar Nino Romero in Mexico on June 19, 2010.
Since then Mayol has won five fights in a row and has looked impressive.
Sanchez won the IBF super flyweight title with a twelve round unanimous decision over Rodrigo Guerrero last February 11 and then successfully defended his title against Juan Alberto Rosas on May 19.
Sanchez has won seven bouts in a row after a 2nd round TKO loss to Daniel Rosas in a clash for the vacant WBC Caribbean Boxing Federation title on February 6, 2010.
