Former World Boxing Council (WBC) light flyweight champion Rodel Mayol defeated Javier Gallo of Mexico in the preliminary bout of the Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosely 12-round title fight on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.
Mayol, who is being promoted by Pacquiao's MP Promotions, won by majority decision against his Tijuana-born opponent.
Judges Jerry Roth and Lisa Giampa saw the fight in Mayol's favor, both giving the Filipino a 98-92 edge while C.J. Ross scored it 95-95.
Mayol's victory hiked his ring record to 28 wins, with 21 coming by way of knockout, against five losses (two by KO) and two draws.
The 29-year-old from Mandaue City, Cebu, won his second straight match after losing his WBC light flyweight championship belt to Omar Nino Romero of Mexico by decision last year.
Gallo, who is coming off a split decision win over countryman Jose Luis Araiza, suffered only his fourth loss in his 22nd match. He has 17 wins (9 KOs) and one draw.
Mayol weighed in at 112 lbs for his eight-round bout against Gallo, who tipped the scales at 114 lbs. — JVP/LBG, GMA News
