Experienced veteran and former WBC Light Flyweight Champion Mexican’s Edgar Sosa (46-7, 28 KOs) forced the referee to stop his brutal almost one sided assault of Japanese Flyweight champion Shigetaka Ikehara (22- 4-2, 18KOs) before the start of the ninth round to defend his WBC Silver Flyweight title at the De La Feria, Leon, in Guanajuato, Mexico on July 27, 2012.
He is currently ranked #7 by Fightnews.com and #9 in the world by Boxrec.com
As in September, I once again ran out of gas in the 10th & 11th championship rounds of October & November with this column, but I recovered to complete them and will unleash a few more flurries to close out the 12th and final round.
In the first week of October, Hassan N’Dam won a UD over Curtis Stevens in an eliminator for the right to challenge Jermaine Taylor who defeated aging Sam Soliman to regain the IBF Middleweight title. How Taylor even earned this title shot is another story altogether, but it is all irrelevant as he is now the champion. However he will not have too much time to savor his victory as he has assault and battery charges pending against him and an upcoming court fight that may turn out to be the toughest fight of his life, just when things started to look up for him in boxing, we wish him luck.
