Roman Gonzalez vs. Brian Viloria: Will Chocolatito make us forget the shoulder roll?

by

1-ROMAN GONZALEZ VS BRIAN VILORI (8)By Gerardo Granados: It is possible that the reader hasn’t seen him fight yet, maybe some pay little interest to fighters who campaign below the welterweight division, perhaps the lower weight divisions aren’t in the spotlight as they should be and the CEO´s of the TV Networks know very little about what true fight fans like.

I think that we can agree that once you see how a talented boxer performs inside the ring you´ll know his real potential based on his boxing skills and not just on his magnetic personality; in Chocolatito´s case he is an intriguing character who at the same time will give blessing to the Lord God and also to his opponent but will not hesitate to destroy him.

Rigondeaux about to be stripped of WBO of title

by

rigondeauxBy Dan Ambrose: WBA/WBO super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KOs) is on the verge of being stripped of his WBO 122lb title by the World Boxing Organization for failing to defend his title in more than nine months since his last title defense against Japan’s Hisashi Amagasa on December 31st 2014.

Rigondeaux has 10 days to explain to the WBO why he hasn’t defended his title during the last nine months. Given the WBO’s past history in dealing with fighters that fail to defend their WBO titles in a timely fashion, Rigondeaux will likely be stripped of his title in the next 10 days unless he can come up with a really good explanation.
