Viloria Back in Training For Possible Chocolatito Clash - Boxing News
Absolutely cracking little fight if this comes off. I'm really not sure who I'd pick to win it either.
Please God make this fight happen.
Viloria is one of my favorite current fighters. I think he's really stepped up his game. His wins over Segura and Marquez were class. A win over Chocolito would be monster.
OMG, excellent fight if it happens. People need to pay attention to this fight. It's the superfight of the flyweight division.
I'm going out on a limb here, but I think a big network picks it up as either a stand alone fight or supporting to another big fight.
I'm very excited about this prospect. Choclitito is one of my favorite fighters at this current and present moment!
The guy who is now running HBO was supposed to be going to ignore shit fights featuring faded names like Mosley Paulie ( I know it's on Showtime) and picking up lots of fights like this for HBO. So hopefully he does. It's a perfect Boxing After Dark fight, they can pick it up for not much money and show a great fight.
I think Wealth TV showing the card of the year (the Viloria Marquez fight was arguably the third best on that card) and picking it up for buttons will have given HBO and Showtime bosses pause for thought. They can't not at least bid for this fight in case it's another barnburner.
Viloria wins btw.
Arum is involved via Viloria so I would guess Hbo grabs it should it get made. Arum is just as likely to stay in house and milk this Viloria resurgence for all its worth. Its a remarkable run for a guy that has been in the game for well over a decade but he has never seen anyone close to Gonzalez. He had to work last time out but I think he may have overlooked Estrada. I like Brian but he will think he is fighting a crowd if he ever fights Roman. I don't know what they will do about the weight unless Gonzalez was already thinking on moving up. 4 pounds is a lot that far south.Quote:

Well that's a good point and I certainly wont discount it. Morales took his power for the most part with him from 122 to 126. Its more likely that he takes his power with him at these weights. I think they will most definitely be on the same card in the spring but there is no doubt a risk to fight your first at 112 against Viloria. Worthy of the reward in my eyes for both guys but especially for Gonzalez moving up both legacy and earnings wise. 2013 has some pretty good potential.Quote:

Seriously this is my most anticipated fight of 2013..
Any matchups between Viloria, ROman, Ioka, and Cuello are superfights for the hardcore boxing fans..
Dang you Peter Som, you made me spill my coffee. When you said, "this current and present moment", did you mean now? I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you--I hope-- because I have done the same thing.Quote:

It looks like it might be Gonzalez/ Ioka instead which is just as good if not better!
Gonzalez has been one of my favs for a long time now, but I see either of these fights as 50/50
It won't be Roman-Viloria but it will be Roman-Ioka... The purse bid to be held on the 18th of this month.
Am excellent fight either way.
That's what I just said:pQuote:

Did everyone see Gonzalez vs Estrada?

Much tougher than expected for Gonzalez but a great scrap
Estrada will Viloria's next opponent
How fucked up are P4P ratings when Broner is top 10 but Viloria a 2 division champ is not. :-\Quote:

The best fight of 2013.. There are some animosity between these two cuz Ioka has been talking alot of shit and Gonzalez wants to shut that mouth..
IOka truly is a dynamite of a fighter.. He's a best young japanese ive seen in the past 15 years or so but im on the fence with this one..
Who wins this fight?
I'm slightly favouring Gonzalez
It's a truly fantastic match-up!
A win for either guy is a victory for the sport!
Let's just hope the fight gets made first.
It looks like Ioka might turn away the fight vs. Roman and look to fight "interim" WBA champ Rossel...
Iokas pops along with his management team feel it's too much too soon for Ioka to face Roman.
We'll just have to wait and see what happens on the 18th the day of the purse bid.
Yeah I read that yesterday tooQuote:
