Thread: Chocolatito to defend title on GGG-Wade card

Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez to fight McWilliams Arroyo in co-feature of Gennady Golovkin title defense


According to an article on ESPN Deportes, the fight with Chocolatito was first offered to Mexican fighter Juan "Gallo" Estrada, but he declined. Now the defense will be against Puerto Rican fighter McWilliams Arroyo, brother of IBF super flyweight champ McJoe Arroyo.

I like McWilliams better than McJoe and thought his SD loss to Amnat Ruengroeng in 2014 could've gone either way. But Chocolatito is whole 'nother ballgame, considered by most the #1 p4p fighter in the world today. I'll be rooting for McWilliams, but keeping my hopes in perspective.

Can't blame Estrada for ducking Gonzalez.
