Reigning WBO Junior Bantamweight champion “Marvelous” Marvin Sonsona (14-0, 12 KO’s) and his opponent Alejandro “Payasito” Hernandez (22-7-1, 11 KO’s) of Mexico City promised a war this Saturday night as the main event of Rumble at Rama X at Casino Rama, in Rama, Ontario. The 19 year-old Sonsona, who captured the crown against Jose “Carlito” Lopez this past September via thrilling 12 round unanimous decision, promised to once again treat Ontario fight fans to another scintillating performance. “When I first fought here in September, I was treated so well, and welcomed so warmly that I wanted to deliver a great performance to my new fans in Ontario..”
“Now that I’m back, I remember that feeling, and am willing to go through hell once again for my fans and my sport.”
For the 23 year-old Hernandez from Mexico City, Mexico, Saturday’s fight is his second crack at a world title – he dropped a 12 round unanimous decision to IBF Flyweight champion, Omar Andres Narvaez, of Argentina, in September of 2008 – and he is keen on returning home a world champion.
“This is what we dream of when we get into boxing. These chances are never guaranteed, and you must make the most of them when they come around,” Hernandez said.
“I’ve been blessed with a second chance at a world title, and I don’t plan on wasting it.”
In other action Saturday night, former IBF Junior Featherweight champion “The Canadian Kid” Steve Molitor (30-1, 12 KO’s, IBF #2) will lock horns with Argentina’s Jose “Pamperito” Saez (17-8-4, 8 KO’s) over 8 rounds in the evening’s co-main event.
“I’m in a position where I have to be patient and disciplined. I have a ranking to maintain if I want to get another crack at the world title, but at the same time, I have to feed my family,” Molitor said.
Saez is a dangerous guy with a great opportunity to make a name for himself Saturday night. If I’m not 100% focused, then I won’t get my title shot anytime soon, and will have to start virtually from square-one.”
Both the Sonsona-Hernandez and Molitor-Saez fights will be broadcast in Canada on TSN on Saturday, November 21st, beginning at 10:30 PM, as well as on Solar Sports in the Philippines, and on a national carrier in Mexico.
K “WILD WILD” WEST VERSUS KASHA CHAMBLIN TO FIGHT ON UNDERCARD OF BRADLEY VS. PETERSON
Just over four months after scoring an impressive unanimous decision over a tough Rolanda Andrews in the Featherweight division, female sensation K “Wild Wild” West is preparing herself for another tough battle, this time, dropping down to her normal fighting weight in the Bantamweight division.
On December 12, 2009, West (11-1-0, 2 KO’s) will be squaring off against Louisiana native Kasha Chamblin (11-4-0, 5 KO’s) at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California in a bout that is sure to be a crowd pleaser. West is back on track of her pursuit for a world title and showing the boxing community that she is willing to put it all on the line in order to give the fans what they want…one hell of a slug out.
Taking time out of her training camp in Moreno Valley, California, West stated the following, “I’m stepping up in competition to prove to my fans and the world that I deserve a shot at a world title and I will be a World Champion soon.”
When speaking to Manager and Trainer Juan West, he indicated that, “I made some significant changes to K’s training camp and with the help of veteran trainers Ruben Castanon and Charlie Perez, K will be in the best shape of her career and definitely put on a spectacular performance.”
The talented Bantamweight contender will again be fighting on the undercard of her Southern California colleague and friend WBO World Light Welterweight Champion Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley Jr. as he headlines the live Showtime main event. Bradley will be defending his title against interim WBO World Junior Welterweight titlist Lamont Peterson.
