By Gav Duthie: One of the great successes of 2017 was the HBO SuperFly card put on at the back end of the year. The network had been trying exhaustively to promote P4P contender Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez and this card was seen as one of the ways to do it. It’s very difficult to market anything below featherweight and there hasn’t really been any potential lower weight stars since Ricardo Lopez in the 1990s.
By Dan Ambrose: The SuperFly 2 card is now set for February 24 with WBC super flyweight champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai defending his title in the main event against mandatory challenger Juan Francisco Estrada at the Forum in Inglewood, California.

By Michael Montero – An announced crowd of 16,353 packed the Forum in Inglewood, California to watch the one-two punch combination of the “Little Drama Show” and the “Big Drama Show” Saturday night. In the co-feature, Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez defended his flyweight title against Puerto Rican challenger McWilliams Arroyo and in the main event, unified middleweight titlist Gennady “GGG” Golovkin squared off against mandatory challenger Dominic Wade.

By Jim Dower: WBC flyweight champion Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez (45-0, 38 KOs) finally was made to look human tonight in having to battle hard to defeat #10 WBC challenger McWilliams Arroyo (16-3, 14 KOs) by a 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night in a fight on HBO Championship Boxing from the Forum in Inglewood, California.
By Jim Dower: IBF/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) made on Friday for his title defense tomorrow on Saturday against his IBF mandatory challenger Dominic Wade (18-0, 12 KOs) on HBO Boxing from the Forum in Inglewood, California. A thin-looking Golovkin weighed in at 159lbs, which was one under the 160lb limit.
By Dan Ambrose: WBC flyweight champion Roman Gonzalez (44-0, 38 KOs) has what amounts to be a stay busy fight this Saturday night against Puerto Rico’s McWilliams Arroyo (16-2, 14 KOs) on the undercard of the Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade fight at the Forum in Inglewood, California.
While the promoters have tried to build the Gonzalez-Arroyo fight as a competitive one, it’s not going to be. Arroyo is huge step down from Gonzalez’s last opponent Brian Viloria, and about the only interesting thing about the fight is predicting when Gonzalez is going to get Arroyo out of there.
By Chris Williams: K2 Promotions and Gennady Golovkin may be without one of their biggest drawing fighters in WBC flyweight champion Roman Gonzalez (44-0, 38 KOs) after this Saturday’s fight card on HBO PPV from the Forum in Inglewood, California.
After appeared on two of Gonzalez’s previous fight cards, Gonzalez is ready to branch out and headline his own career. He’ll be fighting McWilliams Arroyo (16-2, 14 KOs) this Saturday on the Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade card, but the 28-year-old Gonzalez feels he’s ready to be his own main event and it’s quite understandable him wanting to do this. Gonzalez has picked up a big fan base in the United States recently, and yet he’s not making the big money that we normally see from fighters of his talent level.
By Dan Ambrose: WBC flyweight world champion Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez (44-0, 38 KOs) will be starting his training camp this week for his April 23 title defense on HBO pay-per-view against #9 WBC McWilliams Arroyo (16-2, 14 KO’s) at the Forum in Inglewood, California. The main event will have IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin defending his title against Dominic Wade.
This card is interesting in that it has the #1 pound-for-pound fighter Gonzalez and the #3 in Golovkin. Gonzalez wants to make sure that he can keep his No.1 spot by putting on a good performance and winning his fight against the 30-year-old Arroyo in style.
