Sonsona’s physical condition
At present Team Sonsona is quite pleased with the physical condition of “Marvelous” Marvin Sonsona. It seems that the early arrival in Puerto Rico has helped Sonsona acclimatize himself. His daily jogging at the Isla Verde beach line near Verdanza Hotel where the team stays has kept him fit and ready As announced earlier, he is within the required pre-weigh-in weight of 126 lbs. This weight check was done last Feb. 19, 9 days before the fight schedule.
