Will Filipino challenger Rodel “Batang Mandaue” Mayol(25-3-1-19 KOs) will win over WBO champion Puerto Rico star Ivan “Iron Boy”Calderon (32-0-1-6 KOs) in a title rematch? Their much awaited rematch on September 12, 2009 at Coliseum de Puerto Rico “Jose Miguel Agrelot”. During their last fight, Calderon was bleeding in the sixth round due to sudden head butt by Mayol last June 13 match at the Madison Square Garden, which ended in a technical draw. Fans and relatives in every side were very upset and unsatisfied.

Some boxing analysts predict that their fight will be a different and more exciting than the last time. The Filipino boxer Mayol continues his daily exercise in Puerto Rico. Mayol weighted 118 lbs. last week, 10 lbs. over the limit, but should drop again this week due to massive workout.

Moreover, Mayol will be entering the most difficult stage of training. He trains at the Wild Card Gym of world- renowned coach Freddie Roch and also he spars some Filipino fighters such AJ Banal and WBO minimum weight world champ Donnie Nietes, both from ALA Gym in Cebu, Philippines.
