Sonsona the southpaw, in red. Aguelo has "Singwancha" written on his waistband (signifying his affiliating with Thai promoter Naris Singwancha, who is also the benefactor of many Filipinos).
Round 1 Aguelo is throwing pot shot jabs up top and right uppercuts into the belly, while backpedaling and shimmying his way outside in a perimeter spiral. Sonsona is pressuring but looking very slow, telegraphing his left hand leads up top and pawing his way in with a wavy double right jab or swatting low-slung right hook at the hips. Aguelo is employing the nimbler footwork, making Sonsona walks into a light patter of counters, but never really leaning forward to stand his ground and mete out anything with bite. l 10-9 Aguelo
Round 2 Aguelo is ducking into the ropes as Sonsona lobs a big chunky right hook at him from afar, grazing the back of the head, only partially covered by Aguelo's raised left glove as he ducks and slightly bows his neck forward while sitting on the middle rope. Sonsona continues to hack down with heavy lefts across the helipad cresting Aguelo's dome, and winging powerful but slow right hooks into the body. Aguelo is covering up and sliding his buttocks along the ropes, waiting his turn. Aguelo now finally begins to slap up top with left hooks, wrapping them around the vertical right forearm of Sonsona like a drunk motorist's car on a roadside telephone pole. A few combinations by Aguelo on the backfoot, all blocked, except one nice meaty left hook downstairs, his only good connection all round, just working too little. 10-9 Sonsona 19-19
Round 3 Aguelo is catching Sonsona's lead rights between his gloves, pinching them over the fist to clamp it still. A stalemate in the middle of the ring as Sonsona pushes out a right jab and then leaves the glove clasping Aguelo's left shoulder, with Aguelo putting his own right hand out to hold Sonsona in place by his, keeping each other locked in place like squared-up grapplers for a time. Sonsona is doubling up on line drive left hand leads from the rear hip up to Aguelo's head, but they are getting stuffed in Aguelo's waiting right palm, kept hovering by his face as he creeps in with jabs on the brow and body shots hurled in quick underhanded succession. One nice right jab between the eyes by Sonsona late, his cleanest shot of the round, but he's perpetually surrendering ground now. 10-9 Aguelo 29-28 Aguelo
Round 4 Aguelo is pursuing as Sonsona pivots off each set of ropes while doubling up on right jabs to fend him off. Aguelo tries slicing his way in downstairs, but Sonsona is able to wriggle loose and flurry at the head, everything picked off but allowing him the cover to escape to outside. Aguelo walks Sonsona into the ropes and puts up a high shell to catch all of Sonsona's flurries, then gets to work drilling in through his guard with a straight right, and pelting him with body shots below the elbows. Sonsona is muscled into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring but spins into a reversal and tries plugging away on Aguelo's body. Step backward and then a perfectly timed & placed right uppercut by Aguelo, first using his left forearm like a broomstick to clear Sonsona's arms upward and unable to defend, and Sonsona is lying on his back for a while under the bottom rope, gasping. KO4!!!
Pretty nice body shot KO, but can't say it was a stellar performance by Aguelo. My primary takeaway here is that Sonsona - who creditably had only four prior stoppage losses in his 10 losses/48 bouts heading in - looks shot to pieces at just 30 years old. He is on a five loss skid now, stopped thrice in that span. He should call it a day. Aguelo, while a year older, is the fresher looking man and still a serviceable Pacific level journeyman.
Also, it would be great if Powcast would stop advertising fights they upload (on massive delay, so already sort of a diseased blanket) as being in "full", when they are clearly edited and some rounds have only ~2 minutes of footage provided.
