Rodel Mayol, the young man from Mandaue, Cebu called “Kid Rapido” will be attempting for the 5th time to win a world title. He will be fighting Edgar Sosa of Mexico for the WBC Minimum weight title on Saturday, Nov. 21 at Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, Mexico.


With the Pacquiao media frenzy buzzing at its crescendo since the Pacman snatched the WBO Welterweight crown from Miguel Cotto at the MGM at Las Vegas this past Saturday, nothing else seem to matter to the boxing media including those from the Philippines. But that is expected.

Thus, in all probability, not too many in the home country know that Mayol is again up for a title fight.

Mayol trained for the last several weeks at the Wildcard Gym. But, with the Pacman the only show in town when he trains there, guys like Mayol are left on the fringes. But be that as it may, Mayol indicated that he is more than ready for his big day on Saturday.

Mayol left on a red eye trip for Chiapas mid-night Tuesday. He informed that he should have been there earlier as he had a press conference to attend but apparently his plane tickets were not arranged until the last minute by Michael Koncz.

Koncz understandably was too busy with the Pacquiao fight to mind small time fighters like Mayol. But he could have easily delegated the task to someone so Mayol could be in Mexico as expected by the promoters.

Mayol will be in Chiapas with an assistant of Freddie Roach named Jesse and Jing Quijano, a former trainer from the ALA Gym. His wife Lira will be flying in on Friday to join the Team and

SOSA-MAYOL PRESSCON

Tuxla Gutierrez, Chiapas, Mexico:- The final press conference for the battle between Edgar Sosa and Rodel Mayol was held today at this beautiful tourist town in southeast Mexico. Considering the stopovers this city is some 9 hours flight from Los Angeles.

Sosa and Mayol will be fighting for the WBC minimum weight title on Saturday.

Prior to the presscon where Sosa met Mayol for the first time, Sosa was predicting that he will knockout Mayol outright. However, at the presscon for some reason, he started changing his story saying that he will fight Mayol toe to toe if that is Mayol’s choice, or he will work the body to breakdown Mayol and if a knockout opportunity comes, he will take it.

Why the sudden change in the Sosa’s tune? Only Sosa and his team know for sure.

As for Mayol, he indicated that he will do his best to make the fight interesting and entertaining but along the way, he plans to bring home the WBC belt.

The WBC head honchos headed by Don Jose Sulaiman arrived today at the hotel fight headquarters, the Holiday Inn along Boulevard Bellisario Dominguez in downtown Tuxtla Gutierrez.

Tomorrow at 1:00PM they will hold the official weigh in. Mayol is in perfect shape and his conditioning is just right. He is slightly underweight so that he can afford to eat, indeed an advantage for fighters in his weight class.

Mayol’s food is not from any of the restaurants in town. It is specially cooked for him by Jing Quijano. “We did some some grocery shopping today and I have everything I need to cook Mayol’s favorite food”, Quijano stated. Quijano brought portable cookware and a stove from Los Angeles upon the advice of Lira Mayol, Rodel’s lovely wife.
