SONSONA RETAINS RP CROWN
By Epifanio M. Almeda PhilBoxing.com Sun, 22 Apr 2007
Philippine Super-flyweight champion Eden Sonsona retained his crown with a 10th round technical decision with scores of 95-94 and 96-93 twice. The fight was stopped after an accidental clash of heads opened a deep cut on challenger Marvin Tampus which forced the referee to call it a night.
The fight was a give and take delighting the crowd. Tampus appeared to land the heavier blows to the body but could not sustain his attack. Sonsona then dish his own combinations to the head and body.
