RODEL MAYOL VS NINO ROMERO ENDS IN TECHNICAL DRAW


PhilBoxing.com




The Rodel Mayol vs Omar Nino Romero fight was declared a technical draw after the bout ended in the 3rd round in a controversial fashion at the Coliseo Olimpico in Guadalajara, Mexico late Saturday night (Sunday morning in Manila).

Before the end came, Romero hit Mayol with a series of low blows the last one landed squarely on Mayol crouch that backed Mayol up. Referee Vic Drakulich came in to stop the action when Romero unleashed a wicked left that hit squarely at the jaw of the momentarily defenseless Mayol who crashed to the canvas almost unconscious. While Mayol was being prepared to be carried by a stretcher and while the Romero camp celebrates, ring officials headed by WBC Vice President Mauricio Sulaiman deliberated the situation which resulted in a technical draw decision allowing Mayol to retain his light flyweight title.

After a feeling out first round, Mayol unleashed a barrage of powerful uppercuts on Romero in the second round that wobbled Romero but Romero's chin held up to survive the round. Mayol came in strong in the third round until a series of low blows by Romero veered the fight to its sudden end.

As a precaution, Mayol was brought to the Military Regional Hospital in Gualajara and was thoroughly checked.

"He's okay now," Dr Ed de la Vega who acted as Mayol's cutman informed. "Although he was hit hard on the jaw, there was no fracture in his jaw and his neck is fine. We are about to get back to our hotel from the hospital."

It was unclear if the WBC would or could order a rematch as there was no rematch clause in the contract.

Mayol's record now stands at 26-4-2 with 20 knockouts while Romero dips to 28-3-2 with 11 knockouts.
