Last night at Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario, Marvin Sonsona and Alejandro Hernandez fought to a draw over the vacant WBO super flyweight title.
Filipino southpaw Sonsona had won the belt from Jose Lopez in September but lost it on the scales Friday when he was 2.5 pounds over the super fly weight limit.
Mexico City based Hernandez came into the clash with the experience of having faced perhaps Argentina's top fighter, undefeated WBO flyweight champion Omar Andres Narvaez, in a big hearted but failed title bid.
The seasoned Hernandez fought Sonsona, just 19 years of age, to a standstill over the course of 12 difficult rounds and forced a 115-113, 113-115 and 114-114 draw. More...

There was a good fight card north of the border last night with a WBO title belt on the line as well as the continuing comeback of Canada's top boxer, Steve Molitor, at his home base of Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario.
Longtime flyweight contender Jose Lopez of Puerto Rico finally hit the jackpot in March of this year, outpointing Thailand's Pramuansak Posuwan to capture the vacant WBO super fly crown.
But making his first defense last night, the 37 year old from Trujilo Alto ran into trouble against WBO Oriental beltholder Marvin Sonsona.
The Filipino southpaw proved just too quick for the Puerto Rican vet and walked off with the WBO super fly trophy via a 114-111, 115-110 and 116-109 unanimous decision victory. More...

Steve Molitor, the IBF Super Bantamweight Champion, is looking towards a defining moment in his career. The undefeated boxer is fresh from winning his most recent bout, against Ceferino Dario Labarda. According to his handlers Orion Management, a victory would secure Molitor a title unification fight against Celestino Caballero. So far, no news about any upcoming fight. Instead, there is a lot of speculation about Molitor's past choices and what this means for his future.
The Canadian Kid, as Molitor is known, has made headlines over the past few months, but not because of his boxing accomplishments. Molitor got into a public argument with his manager, Allan Tremblay, reportedly because of his recent fight purses.
The public fight is now resolved, but there were casualties. There is a strain now between Orion Management and Steve Molitor, and his trainer for the past seven bouts, Chris Johnson, has been replaced. Molitor is now being trained by Stephane Larouche, the man who is responsible for Lucian Bute and Adrian Dianocu. Will this be a good match for Molitor? Only time will tell.
Another issue that has been brought up in the Canadian press, is the quality of Molitor's opponents and his unwillingness to fight outside of Canada since he won the IBF title. His opponents have been carefully selected by his management team to make Molitor shine in his title defenses.
The list goes as follows: Labarda, Takalani Ndlovu, Ricardo Castillo and Fernando Beltran Jr have been his last four opponents. These fighters have little experience fighting real contenders and have rarely fought outside their home countries.
Why hasn't a fight against a more aggressive and experienced opponent been arranged for Molitor? It would benefit him because if you fight against better fighters, you become a better fighter and real contenders will want to fight you. More...

Last night at the Casino in Rama, Ontario, IBF Super Bantam titlist Steve Molitor retained his crown for the fifth time when he stopped WBC Latino titlist Ceferino Dario Labarda in the tenth round.
In a battle of southpaws, Molitor proved to have more in the tank as he pulled away from the Argentine visitor in the later rounds after the early going was fairly close.
With the win, the 28 year old "Canadian Kid" run his record to 28-0 (11) and edges ever closer to a lucrative unification match.
Fighting for the first time outside of Argentina, 27 year old Labarda suffers his first career loss to drop to 18-1 (7).
Molitor's top domestic competition, NABA Super Bantam titlist Olivier Lontchi, 16-0-2 (6), drew with Eduardo Garcia, 18-5-1 (7), after ten rounds of combat.
Another NABA titlist, super featherweight Benoit Gaudet, 18-1 (7), outpointed Alejandro Berrera, 18-2 (12), after ten rounds.

There were two good fight cards in the Great White North last night, with IBF Super Bantam world titlist Steve Molitor leading the way at Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario on an Allan Trembly/Orion Sports promotion.
Sarnia, Ontario's favorite son was facing perhaps his toughest challenge to date as a pro in the form of seasoned Mexican Fernando Beltran, Jr, who like Molitor is a quick southpaw and had given the world's top super bantam at the time, Joan Guzman, a difficult challenge three years ago.
From the start, the bout fell into a comfortable pattern for Molitor, who prefers to counterpunch his opponents rather than take the lead, as Beltran surged forward trying to inflict damage. More...
