By Dave Lahr: Former World Boxing Organization super flyweight champion Marvin Sonsona (14-0-1, 12 KO’s) will face Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (17-0-1, 14 KO’s) this Saturday night for the vacant WBO super bantamweight title at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Both of these fighters are terribly flawed at this point in their young careers, and it’s hard to imagine that the winner of this fight will be able to hold down the WBO title for more than a defense or two without losing it to someone. Sonsona, 19, is a skinny slugger who got by on his power alone while fighting at super flyweight.

Sonsona and Viloria Could Be Fighting on Same Card in Manila – News
