Mofo2 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Juan Carlos Sanchez lost his IBF super-flyweight title on the scale on Friday but beat Roberto Domingo Sosa in the ring on Saturday. The Mexican, nicknamed Zurdito, beat the challenger from Argentina 117-110 on two cards and 116-111 on the third in Las Vegas.He used his height and reach advantage to outscore the previously unbeaten Sosa who was knocked down in the twelfth round. Sanchez improved his record to 16-1-1, including eight knockouts, but he had to leave Las Vegas without the IBF belt. He was stripped of the title on Saturday morning, a day after he failed to make weight for the fight.Sanchez spent two hours trying to lose half a kilogram, but even on a third visit to the scale he was two ounces over the super-flyweight limit.The IBF declared the title vacant, and had Sosa won he would have claimed the belt. Instead he suffered his first defeat, falling to 24-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
