                    [Title] => It could’ve been a draw
                    [Summary] => TOKYO — If Rodel Mayol only won the last round, he would’ve salvaged a draw with World Boxing Council (WBC) minimumweight champion Eagle Kyowa in their bloody 12-round brawl at the Korakuen Hall last Saturday night.


Before the bell rang for the final round, Kyowa led in two of the three judges’ scorecards—Gale Van Hoy, 107-102 and Chuck Hassett, 105-104. Mayol was ahead in Alejandro Rochin’s tally, 105-104. If Mayol took the 12th round with a 10-9 score, the decision would’ve been a split draw. It was that close.

The cut took 15 stitches to close and was the reason why the bout was stopped on the ringside physician’s advice.

not_entMERIDA -- The day after Luisito Espinosa lost a unanimous 11th round technical decision to Guty Espadas, Jr., Mexican newspapers had conflicting reports on the final scores of the bout for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) featherweight title at the Poliforum Zamna here.

Blame it on WBC supervisor Rex Walker, who's a strong candidate for a crash course in arithmetic.
