SONSONA CONFIDENT OF MAKING WEIGHT By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Thu, 05 Jun 2014  ?Marvelous? Marvin Sonsona is confident of making the 126 pound featherweight limit by the time of the official weigh-in at 3:00 p.m. on Friday (Saturday in Manila) for his rematch against former Wilfredo Vazquez Jr of Puerto Rico. Sonsona?s manager Dr. Rajan Yraola told the Manila Standard that they went jogging and worked out in the hotel gym in an effort to bring Sonsona?s weight down to 129 from the previous day?s 131. He said he is confident that Marvin would make the weight in time for the official weigh-in. Sonsona who spent ten days training at the gym of Nonito ?Dodong? Donaire Sr in Oakland, California before proceeding to New York sparred once. Yraola told us that ?Marvin is okay. He didn?t suffer any injuries during training in his Mindanao Avenue Gym and that he had ?some good training? in Donaire Sr?s gym in California. The manager said they had to ?manage Marvin?s food intake in the US and were forced to control his diet? so he could make weight. He praised Sonsona who lost two pounds a day for the past two days ?for cooperating with us on his food intake.? Sonsona and Vazquez will be presented in a press-public preview at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday (Friday in Manila). Photo: Sonsona poses in front of the Madison Square Garden in New York.
