PhilBoxing.com




The amiable promoter of “Marvelous” Marvin Sonsona, Sammy Gello-Ani, provides us with an update on the preparations of Sonsona for his upcoming championship fight against the dangerous Wilfredo “WV2” Vazquez Jr.

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.

Yesterday, Sonsona did his regular jogging in the morning and in the afternoon we was offered a tour by Filipino residents lead by Mrs Rebecca Domingo. Rebecca is the wife of Col. Edwin C. Domingo, US Army Garrison Commander of Fort Buchanan , Puerto Rico . Team Sonsona toured the old San Juan National Historic Sites : Castillo San Felipe del Morro ,Castillo San Cristobal and San Juan de la Cruz as well as the walls of San Juan . These are the largest and oldest spanish fortifications built by the spanish forces. They began construction in 1516 and took them 250 years to complete.
