Mayol Rips Title From Sosa

After 10 successful defenses in about 28 months, defending WBC Jr. Flyweight Champ, Edgar Sosa (37-5, 21 KOs), was shocked, along with his partisan Mexican crowd in Chiapas, Mexico, by Filipino challenger, Rodel Mayol (25-4-1, 19 KOs).

After a fairly even first round, Sosa was dropped by an unintentional headbutt in the second round. Mayol then pounced on a still-groggy Sosa to, first knock the defending champ down again, and then force the stoppage.

This was Mayol's fifth attempt at a world title.
