Press & Public to get sneak peak as undefeated 19 year-old preps for WBO Jr. Bantamweight champ Jose Lopez

RAMA, ON (Friday, August 27th, 2009) – On Tuesday, September 1st the media are invited to Toronto’s Cabbagetown Gym for a glimpse at undefeated “Marvelous” Marvin Sonsona (13-0, 12 KO’s) as he prepares for his explosive battle with WBO Junior Bantamweight champion Jose Lopez (39-7-2, 32 KO’s) that tops Rumble at Rama IX, set for Friday, September 4th, at Casino Rama, in Rama, Ontario.

The nineteen year-old Sonsona, from Manny Pacquiao’s hometown of General Santos City, the Philippines, is coming off an impressive second round demolition of former world champion Wandee Singwancha this past May, a victory that put his name atop the list of boxing’s elite blue-chip prospects.

Despite the hype surrounding Sonsona, Lopez isn’t about to treat the first defense of his world title as a coronation for the young slugger. The Puerto Rican veteran has never been stopped in his career, and hasn’t lost in eight years, going 15-0-1, with 9 KO’s during that stretch, including a unanimous decision victory over Pramuansak Posuwan this past March to capture what was the vacant WBO Junior Bantamweight crown.

To ensure proper access the media should RSVP to: Jason Abelson (416) 778-9280, email: jason_abelson@yahoo.com.
