Very nice. He's a fun guy to watch, was worried it might be a Mayol-Kyowa type deal. Need to find a download.

Great win for Gonzalez. Niida is outstanding fighter. I need to see this fight first before really commenting on it

Chocolatito: king of the world
For all the doubt about weight, inexperience and being over hyped it took Roman ‘Chocolatito” Gonzalez less than 12 minutes to destroy a champion who many consider to be one of the best ever at the minimum weight.
From the sound of the first bell Gonzalez showed little respect for the six-year reign of the champion Yutaka Niida.
Niida had the keys to the office and Gonzalez was not about to wait around 12 rounds for the judges to decide whether they were changing hands.
From the first bell he hunted his man down with the same precision as when he defeated the highly rated Filipino Ereberto Gejon. Niida had no answer to the punishing double left hooks that have been a trademark of Gonzalez’s meteoric rise through the ranks.
In a little less than four rounds Gonzalez had reduced the Japanese icon to a punching bag. Niida’s face was bloodied, battered and with one eye virtually closed the referee saw no need for the little tiger from Managua to inflict any more pain on a desperate flailing champion.
When the end came the words of Gonzalez in his recent interview with the Post, about what this would mean for him, were there for all to see. All the hard work, the starving to make weight, the expectations of following in the shadow of the legendary Alexis Arguello were all gone. Tears rolled down his face as he was carried head high in the ring.
This wasn’t just a moment for Gonzalez though; on the weekend of their independence a nation of people starved of the most basic things in life had been given a moment, a moment to forget all their worries and come together to celebrate their new king.
For many westerners this may seem like an overstatement but if you’ve ever been in the jungles of the Philippines with 50 people huddled around a TV watching Manny Pacquaio fight, you might just understand.
This was a great day for the Nicaraguan people, a day to take pride in their country. With two champions now at the minimum weight, they can lay claim to being the toughest little hombres on the planet.
Sounds like a quality breakout performance For Gonzalez.Great quality match up.....VIDEO??.......:feedme: ;D
Gonzalez deserves a lot of credit. He completely took Niida out his game plan. He made Niida trade with him. And that's not Niida fight. Niida was game and showed a great chin. And he landed his share of punches. He just didn't have the firepower to match Gonzalez. It was a great fight while it lasted. Great win for Gonzalez.
Everyone here in Nicaragua want to see Chocolatito go up to 108 and take on Ivan Calderon. Hope this will happen sometime next year since Ramon has suggested he wants to move up due to the struggle to make the 105.

Lo unico que no me gusta es el comparamiento que le estan haciendo con el gran Alexis Arguello. Yo soy un gran fan de Alexis y honestamente Roman le falta muchisimo para llegar al nivel de Alexis.
El estilo esta un poco parecido, pero no tanto como lo hacen ver.
Bueno, saludos a todos los Nicas desde aqui en Los Angeles.
Gracias por la bienvenida.
Comparto tu opinion Ramon esta lejos de ser un Alexis Arguello.
Pero tiene todo para hacer su propia historia.
Chocolatito hizo algo que Alexis no pudo lo cual es ganar un titulo
en su primera oportunidad. Se habla mucho de Alexis talvez por que
el mismo Arguello ayuda a Ramon en su tecnica y especialmente en la
preparasion de esta ultima pelea. Aqui en Nicaragua tenemos unos
cuantos prospectos que espero salten en los rankings y ganen cinturones.
Lastima que Luis Perez sufrio por estar inactivo por casi un año con una
derrota anoche en Panama contra Ricardo "El Maestrito" Cordoba.
Te envio saludos desde Managua.
Sabes noto que tu lo llamas Ramon, pero se llama Roman...
Solo queria clarificar eso. Dije no vaya hacer que este yo equivocado. ;D
Estas en lo cierto que Roman va a escribir su propia historia. Solo con este titulo ya empeso. Y si que empeso con el pie derecho ganandole a uno de los mejores boxeadores que a tenido los peso Minimos.
Bueno Marcel era grande en ese tiempo, y llevava toda la ventaja a su favor. Marcel no avia perdido una pela de titulo en mas de 3 anos.
Pero bueno, Alexis hizo lo que pudo pero no fue suficiente.
Luis Perez se miro muy mal ayer. Solo salio con un plan y era perseguir a Cordoba. No tuvo un segundo plan y toda la noche Cordoba lo recivio con jabs y ganchos. Yo le di los primeros 7 rounds a Cordoba, rounds 8, 9, 10 y 11 se los di a Perez el 12 se lo di a Cordoba.
Cordoba es mu disciplinado y son pocos los errores que comete. No le dio oportunidad a Perez y como dije tambien Perez no encontro la manera de superarlo.
muy cierto, y yo pense que la pelea entre Cordoba y Perez hiva a ser la pelea mas competetiva de la noche. pense que sus estilos estaban hechos el uno para el otro. pero Cordoba demonstro su superioridad esa noche. tambien bienvenido a Nicaraguense de parte de este Boricua. que disfrutes
Great fight, Gonzalez looked like a bull in there. Niida showed a high level of skill, but here it was all about Gonzalez's power. One thing that will hurt Gonzalez going forwad is his jab it's a little slow, I think a pure boxer like Calderon count rack up some points easily off of that. Gotta say that the 3rd round was one of my favorite rounds this year at least in my top 10.
Its on youtube now, if you can't find a way to get there, well life is problematic.
I like the left uppercut. Apparently so does he.
He might lead with the left a bit too much but he's a little buzzsaw. Niida got a bit chippy there in the third, didn't seem to bother him, just kicked his ass.
sums it up right there... ;DQuote:
