Review: 2014-06-07, disappointing fight between Wilfredo Vazquez Jr and Marvin Sonsona: this second fight gets two stars. Wilfredo Vazquez Jr entered this fight with a pro boxing record of 23-3-1 (19 KOs=82%) and he is ranked as the No.15 super bantamweight in the world, he fought twice in 2013 losing the first bout against Yasutaka Ishimoto but then he defeated Guillermo Avila.
His opponent, Marvin Sonsona, has a record of 18-1-1 (15 KOs=83%) and he entered as the No.15 featherweight, he suffered his only loss when he faced Vazquez in their first bout in 2010 when Sonsona was just 19 years old (the fight was valid for the vacant WBO super bantamweight title), since then he has won four times and in his last bout he beat Akifumi Shimoda in a fight valid for the vacant WBO Int Fw title (one of the best knockouts of the year, rated with 4 stars: Shimoda vs Sonsona). Vazquez Jr vs Sonsona 2 is valid for the vacant NABF featherweight title; undercard of Miguel Cotto vs Sergio Martinez. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Review: 2014-02-22, simply one of the best knockouts of the year: Akifumi Shimoda vs Marvin Sonsona gets four stars. Akifumi Shimoda entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 28-3-2 (12 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.18 featherweight in the world, he suffered his last defeat in 2011 when he faced Rico Ramos losing also his WBA super bantamweight title (=Ramos vs Shimoda).
His opponent, Marvin Sonsona, has an official record of 17-1-1 (14 KOs=82%) and he entered as the No.52 in the same weight class, he is 23 years old (six years younger than Shimoda) and like the Japanese, he also won a world belt (WBO super flyweight title) in the past years but when he tried to move up in weight class to the super bantamweight division, he lost to Wilfredo Vazquez Jr (on February 27, 2010). Shimoda vs Sonsona is valid for the vacant WBO International featherweight title and it is on the undercard of Zou Shiming vs Yokthong Kokietgym. Watch the video and rate this fight!
