MANILA, Philippines – Thinking it would be very difficult to win by decision on a hostile turf, Cebuano fighter Rodel ?Batang Mandaue? Mayol vowed to go all-out for a knockout when he challenges Mexican champion Hernan ?Tyson? Marquez (32-2, 25 KOs) for the WBA flyweight title on March 24 in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico.
?I know it?s tough to fight at your opponent?s territory that is why I am aiming for no less than a knockout to avoid any hometown decision,? said the 30-year-old Mayol (30-5-2, 22 KOs). ?But I?m ready to go for 12 rounds because that is what I prepared and trained for.?
