Marvin Sonsona Vacates Title, Next Stop is 122 in February

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBO bantamweight champion Marvin Sonsona (14-0, 12KOs) vacated his title after not being able to make weight for his bout with Alejandro ’Payasito’ Hernandez (22-7-1, 11 KOs), scheduled to take place at Casino Rama in Ontario, Canada. Sonsona was 2.5-pounds over the limit at 117.6. If Hernandez wins their fight, he becomes the champion after weighing in at 115. [details]

his camp made the right decision. no use draining him just to make weight.

5'9"? that's a JW-WW potential right there.

Unprofessional move by Sonsona. The fact he came in over two pounds over makes me think that he didn't even try to make the weight. I won't pass judgement on him though until I see him in the next division. But making weight is a part of an obligation as a pro boxer and I'm tired of boxers not living up to that obligation. Especially when training and nutrition is better today than when the old timers fought.

First he wasnt the bamtamweight champion. he was teh superflyweight champ.

Second if they knew he wouldnt make the weight why this ull****!!!

They should move him first to bantamweight, not super bantamweight

he's doing a pacquiao. i think manny jumped from 115 to 122 without fighting at 118.

They're following the Pacquiao route.
Pac jumped from flyweight to super bantam after failing to make weight.

Read:
"The 19-year-old is growing fast. He is listed at 5'7 but his handlers tell me Sonsona has grown by two-inches in the last year and now stands at 5'9."

The kid is growing(literally)...You can't blame him for growing now can you?...I think it's about time he moves up in weight class....
