Rodel Mayol vs. Omar Nino Romero Ruled a Technical Draw

At the Coliseo Olimpico de la UG in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Omar Nino Romero (28-3, 11KOs) and Rodel Mayol (26-4, 20KOs) fought to a three round technical draw. Mayol keeps his WBC junior flyweight title.

The ending was very controversial and the announcers, at first, called Romero the winner by TKO.

Nino did well in the first round as the two boxed. In the second, Mayol was landing some heavy punches that put Nino in trouble. Nino began to throw back some big punches to send the crowd into a frenzy. They traded punches with Mayol getting the better of the action.

During the third, there was a weird situation where Mayol got hit with a low blow and the ref was coming in to pull Nino back during the finish. When Rodel got hit with the low blow, he dropped his hands in pain and Nino stepped on his foot and hit him with a left hook that knocked him out cold.

As Nino was throwing that hook, the ref was trying to pull him back to warn him for the low blow - or at least that's what the replay showed. A very controversial ending. Mayol was taken out on a stretcher.
