By Dan Ambrose: In a disappointing fight, WBC flyweight champion Roman Gonzalez (44-0, 38 KOs) will defend his title against #9 WBC McWilliams Arroyo (16-2, 14 KOs) in a voluntary defense on April 23 on HBO Championship Boxing on the undercard of the Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade fight card at the Forum in Inglewood, California.
The 30-year-old Arroyo hasn’t been that active in the last two years after losing to IBF World flyweight champion Amnat Ruenroeng by a 12 round split decision in September 2014. Arroyo looked bad in losing to Ruenroeng in that fight, and it should have been a wider score than a split decision. I think that was bad judging. Arroyo was clearly beaten.
