Niida will probably control the early part but Gonzalez can step it up and will and he dosent mind taking a shot to land two if he thinks he needs too.
Japan will not be a problem, hes fought there and loves the place and Niida is hardly the peoples champion.
Gonzalez has better skills than Margarrito too, that 2 minutes when he went way up the talent pool to fight Gejon showed just who he is.
Its gonna be war though, Niida is a great fighter.
I like Gonzalez. And I wouldn't mind seeing become champion some day. But i just can't see him doing it against Niida. Gonzalez might have fought in Japan before. But those were minor fights against minor opponents. This is his first championship fight. How will he handle the pressure? Niida has been in championship fights for the last 7 years.
