Breaking News: Vazquez Jr stops Sonsona in Round 4

Boxing News World

A wicked left hook to the body finished the job for Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. Marvin Sonsona could not beat the count. The official time was 2:01 of the fourth round.

Now WBO super-bantamweight champion at 25 years of age, Vazquez improved his record to 18 wins and 1 draw, 15 KOs.

19-year old Sonsona (now 14-1-1, 12 KOs) suffered the first defeat of his young boxing career. Sonsona, who was forced to vacate his superflyweight title for not making the contracted weight of 115 pounds in his last fight against Alejandro Hernandez, skipped the bantamweight class.

Both fighters started off cautiously. A couple of left straights by Sonsona to the head of Vazquez earned him the 1st round on my scorecard.

But it was Vazquez onwards. Vazquez's punches began to find their targets opening a small cut under the left eye of Sonsona.

In the fourth round, Vazquez landed a series of blows to the head and body of Sonsona while the latter was trapped on the ropes. A massive left hook to the liver sent Sonsona to the canvas and ended the fight.
