He is the WBA 108lb. champion and he is fighting, on Saturday, about 4 miles from where I grew up. Unfortunately, I now live about 1004 miles from where I grew up. My friend says Gonzalez is pretty good, and his record (31-0, 26KOs) seems to bear that out. I have not seen him fight and was wondering if any of you are familiar with him.
The guy is an outstanding little fighter, he was also the top guy at 105 mainly thanks to his win over Sithsamechai, before moving up
I pick him to stop Garcia
Haha I read the OP and my first thought was to use the word "outstanding".Quote:

Agreed, I hope he really starts upping his opposition level again starting with the Garcia fight.Quote:

I meant Niida (not Sithsamerchai). He has been beating a host of mexican fighters of late. Even Beristien said he is amazing. Wouldn't mind seeing him face Solis or NietesQuote:

His biggest problem will be his size, there just isn't the money to get the best to fight each other at 108.
The thing that is odd about his fight, the one coming up in Pomona, is that it wasn't publicized at all. My friend not only follows boxing very closely, but he sells art at car shows, etc... at the LA county Fairgrounds on a weekly basis, and he knew nothing of the fight. The publicity, apparently, has consisted of one article in the local paper.
I tend to agree, but he is starting to feature now in the states & the buzz around him continues to grow. If he can keep defeating solid opponents from Mexico & Asia I feel the bigger fights will get madeQuote:

Pretty good scrap. Gonzalez seemed to hurt him with everything he landed
Very heavy handed fighter.
I almost made it out to the event but two things stopped me. The seats I wanted were $200 dll seats and to be honest I don't think the card was worth it. Also my cousin was celebrating his bday and well I couldn't leave him hanging... Would have loved to add him to my fighter pic gallery and to have seen him live.
El Chocolatito is excellent the only issue I ever had and it wasn't with him is that he was labeled early on as the next Arguello. With all due respect to Roman, but no.
I forget the writers name it was on a boxing site from Panama in early 2007 when I read it.
The kids got the tools and he quickly became a favorite of mine since then.
