Rodel Mayol vs Edgar Sosa

Rodel Mayol won the WBC Junior Flyweight title when the referee stopped the bout during a flurry after Mayol dropped Edgar Sosa in the 2nd round. After a number of unsuccessful fights to gain a title, Mayol finally gets to take one back home to the Philippines. Both fighters have verbally agreed to a rematch.

Marvin Sonsona fought Alejandro Hernandez at Rumble at Rama X in Rama, Ontario to a draw on Saturday. Sonsona was stripped of his WBO Super Flyweight title earlier for not making weight. Since his last fight, he has gained two inches in height and wasn't able to get down to 115. He plans on moving up to the super bantamweight division for his next fight.

I have Tim Hightower, but I picked up Beanie Wells right after his big game. Just read on Rotoworld that they aren't changing the lineup and will still have Hightower start. Who should I start for Week 11: Wells or Hightower @ St. Louis, or Kevin Smith @ Cleveland. Also, Justin Forsett, Jason Snelling, and Ladell Betts are on the wire. Should I drop Wells or Hightower for one of them? Thanks. Feel free to discuss your own team.

Edit: Also, I'm in a PPR league. And Snelling just got picked up so he's out of the picture.

Jerome Harrison is on the wire and I'm thinking of picking him up. Who should I drop for him? I'm a little tired of waiting for Jonathan Stewart to get back to full form, but I'm afraid of dropping him if he blows up. Manningham wasn't too hot in his last game, but he was targeted 8 times. I have a feeling I might end up sticking to what I have, but I'd like to hear some suggestions. Feel free to discuss your own players here.

Marvin Sonsona beats Jose Lopez by UD

Sonsona

‘Marvelous’ Marvin Sonsona bacame the youngest Filipino champion in history with a decision win over Jose Lopez moments ago at Casino Rama in Ontario, Canada capturing the WBO junior bantamweight title in just his fourteenth pro fight. Both fighters felt each other out in Round 1, but in the second stanza the taller rangier Sonsona had great success in landing hooks and uppercuts under Lopez’s attack and hurt him in the closing seconds. In Round 4 Sonsona dropped Lopez hard with a well placed hook, but the cagey Puerto Rican champion survived the round.

Continued on Fightfan.com.

Haven't seen the fight, but according to people who saw it, it was a close fight. The knockdown and a point deduction from repeated low blows by Lopez secured the UD win for Sonsona. Hopefully, we'll see a video soon. I knew this wasn't going to be an easy fight for Marvin. Congratulations are in order for Marvelous Marvin Sonsona, the youngest Filipino Champion in history.
