?Marvelous? Marvin Sonsona has sparred four rounds with former world champion Sugar Shane Mosley at his Big Bear training camp in California.
In a conversation with his manager Dr. Rajan Yraola, Sonsona who has been training in the US for the past three weeks said he was honored by the opportunity to spar with Mosley since some of his fighters were not ready to spar with Sonsona.
Mosley stepped up and Sonsona said he was ?really very fast like the Mosley of old.?
Sonsona whose routine includes jogging at noon because of the cold weather and works on the punch-mitts and heavy bag in the evening while doing conditioning with Angel ?Memo? Heredia.
Sonsona was being matched in a mandatory North American Boxing Federation title defense against undefeated Jayson ?Maravilla? Velez of Puerto Rico but his failure to train seriously upset his international promoter/matchmaker Sampson Lewkowicz who scrapped the scheduled fight because he was not prepared to take any chances.
The talented southpaw with a record of 19-1-1 with 15 knockouts is ranked No. 2 by the WBC, No,. 4 by the IBF, No, 5 by the WBA and No. 12 by the WBO.
Sonsona is training in Big Bear along with flyweight mandatory challenger Johnreil Casimero who will face the winner of the showdown between China?s former two-time Olympic golkd medalist Zou Shiming and Thailand?s IBF champion Amnat Ruenroeng in Macau on March 7.
