Sonsona vs Alejandro Hernandez
Round 1 Sonsona
Sonsona showed his speed landed an earlier right hook straight left, then mid round
Sonsona landed a straight left hand and an uppercut toward the end.
Round 2 Sonsona
Sonsona landed two counter uppercut and a straight left toward the end
Round 3 Hernandez
Hernandez put the pressure on Sonsona this round, he managed to go to Sonsona's body
and pinned Sonsona on the ropes at one point.
Round 4 Sonsona
Hernandez started well by going to the body and bringing his shot back
up top but Sonsona started to take over mid round with his aggression and
straight left hand to the body and head, at one point Sonsona had Hernandez
pinned in the corner, Sonsona did get caught with a good right hook right at
the end where some people may have seen Hernandez pinching the round but
i still went for Sonsona, so to did Russ Anber
Round 5 Hernandez
Best round for Hernandez. Hernanandez pressured Sonsona throughout
went to the body and landed a number of clean punches on Sonsona when
he trapped him on the ropes
Round 6 Hernandez
Sonsona was having a decent round but he stepped off the gas toward the
end and let Hernandez back in to take the round. Sonsona the hunter in the early part of the round
became the hunted when he let Hernandez back him up, Hernandez rocked Sonsona mid round with a
right hook. Sonsona is best on the front foot pressuring Hernandez but he keeps letting Hernandez back him
up. To Sonsona's credit he did hurt Hernandez to the body
in this round
Round 7 Sonsona
sonsona landed a right hook early in the round that seemed to stun Hernandez and put him off
balance momentarily. I gave it to Sonsana on the power shots that he landed, he landed with the uppercut and dug
some hard shots to the body.
Round 8 Sonsona
Better round for Sonsona he pressured Hernandez and hit Hernandez hard to the body and pinned him on the
ropes for the most part, Henandez landed some good shots to but he was a little inactive
Round 9 Sonsona
Both scored punches in this round and the round was on the table up for grabs but Sonsona manged
to nail Hernandez with a hard combo that tipped the round his way imo. Russ Anber has also given
Sonsona the last 3 rounds.
Round 10 Hernandez
Good round for Hernandez, Sonsona was in control but Hernandez took over mid round and put
him on the backfoot, pressured him and landed some good shots. If Hernandez is losing this fight its because
of his lack of consistency, Sonsona has been more active in the mid to late rounds.
Round 11 Hernandez
Very good round for Hernandez, he nailed Sonsona a few times here. Sonsona looks like he is tiring and
making the weight could be taking its toll on him. Hernandez pressued him througout this round
Round 12 Hernandez
Another excellent round for Hernandez. Sonsona did not do much and Hernandez was all over him like a
rash pressuring him and going to the body thourghout. Sonsona was getting nailed clean at the end of the
fight.
Sonsona caught too many clean shots for my liking, but in the mid to late rounds 7 through 9 he showed his
heart by coming back whilst Hernandez took his foot off the gas, it might have cost him the fight to. Herandez
came back strong in the late rounds and Sonsona did looked tired (possibly making the weight starting
to effect his performance) but there was too many of those middle rounds between 7-9 where Hernandez
was not consistent enough with his attack. Who knows what would of happened if Hernandez had the right
footwear from round one, maybe he does not lose round 1 & 2 and wins the fight. Hernandez had the wrong
footwear on and had to change his shoes inbetween round because he was slipping on the canvas badly. q
When Hernandez changed his shoes he won the very next round.Henandez managed to rock Sonsona
in round 6 but Hernandez was rocked himself in round 7.
I noticed in the Lopez vs Sonsona fight how Sonsona had trouble when pressured and it was the same
story here. When Sonsona was the aggressor forcing Hernandez back he was effective, but when he was pressured
by Hernandez he got trapped on ropes and caught on tail end of too many shots.Comment
