Wilfredo Vazquez Knocks Out Marvin Sonsona

Wilfredo Vazquez made a history after knocking out Marvin "Marvelous" Sonsona in the 4th round of their clash on February 27, 2010 to hold the WBO super bantamweight title. He aimed to be part of father and son champion and he got it.

Vazquez showed the thousand of viewers in his home town how he managed Sonsona attacks. He jabbed and avoided most of Sonsona’s single shots in the first and both fighters landed their respective straights but neither scored with any significant punches. Vazquez landed a counter right hand off the ropes in the second that appeared to cut Sonona under his left eye and ended the round landing several jabs and powerful right hands. Sonsona seemed distraught by the end of the round. In the third, Sonsona landed a straight left that gave him some confidence as he let his hands go a little more. Still, the Puerto Rican managed to work the body and land rights of his own on the now swelling eye of Sonsona.

Vázquez went after his man in the fourth and pinned him several times against the ropes using his jab and straight right hand until one of those right hands broke through Sonsona’s defense and hurt him. A follow up left hook to the body put Sonsona down for the full count.

Wilfredo Vazquez won the WBO bantamweight belt!
