JOSE LOPEZ vs MARVIN SONSONA Fight

Jose “Clarita” Lopez vs. Marvin “Marvelous” Sonsona boxing fight will happen at Casino Rama in Ontario, Canada on September 4, 2009. A very young athlete versus the experienced athlete will be a much awaited match. The left-handed Sonsona is just 19 years old and has had only 13 professional fights (12 KO wins, one win by decision), and he has never been past the fifth round. Lopez, 37, has had 48 fights and he has been the 12-round championship distance nine times.

Sonsona has beaten only one boxer of any real international standing, and that was the seasoned Thai, Wandee,
whom he flattened in the second round with a big left hand from his southpaw stance to win the WBO Oriental 112-pound title. Wandee, however, was the smaller man with a lot of wear on him (the Thai started boxing as a 15-year-oldin the 105-pound division) and he had been knocked out by Daiki Kameda in Japan
in his last fight.

Lopez, of course, has had a long career, but he seemed to be fighting as well as he has ever done in his last contest. To make
Sonsona’s task appear even more daunting, he is moving up three pounds from the flyweight division to meet a sturdy 115-pounder although Sonsona is two inches taller.
