Are people overlooking Carlos Cuadras' chances against Roman Gonzalez?

roman doesnt care much for defense. if he steps up any more in weight, he might get his head knocked off. Walking forward and just throwing punches all night. THen he moved his head to avoid here and there

Just watched the fight again. Still thought it was clear Gonzalez took it, looked up the rd by rd punch stats and they mirrored what I saw. Except the 12th I couldn't tell who landed more and if I guessed I would have guessed Cuadras. But there was a long stretch where Gonzalez was the only one working so I can't say him showing more was egregious.

The telling difference for me was leverage. Cuadras would flurry, Gonzalez uses combinations. Gonzalez is so skilled, similar to Spence every punch has great leverage.

Fun fight, would love to see a rematch in 2018. I want Gonzalez to get 2 more fights at this weight and then an Inoue fight. If he could slip a Cuadras fight in next and then a soft seat before Inoue that would be fantastic.

Choco's face getting interviewed told the story of this fight. He's going to have problems knocking bigger guys out and he's going to take plenty back himself. I think HBO will want the Estrada rematch next but they're probably not going to offer him as much as he wants for the purse.

Yes Kirk Roman has found his limit super fly I don't think he is big enough for the bantams.
I feel he should stay put at the weight or even drop back to fly weight.
Gonzalez is great fighter but he has reached his limit with his size and power.
