PhilBoxing.com




Marvin Sonsona?s capability and talent will be put to the test when he fights the FECOMBOX Champion, Carlos ?El Relampago? Jacobo of Mexico on October 15th at the Hoops Dome, Lapu-lapu City.

Jacobo who has ?Flash of Lightning? as his ring name cannot be taken lightly by Sonsona. He is good and his records will show that he also has the knock-out power. This was confirmed by the Team Hirales (who lost to Filipino boxer, Donnie Nietes recently) who said that ?Jacobo has good movements and has speed. He will be a very good match for Sonsona since he is also young. The audience can expect a very good fight.?

He will be flying to Manila together with SGG? top man, Sammy Gello-ani and Marvin Sonsona on Wednesday for the national press conference at Ayala Center in Makati which will be hosted by TV5 and will be back in the evening.
