Jhonny Gonzalez-Marlon Aguilar Clash on December 16

By Mark Vester

Former world champion Jhonny Gonzalez (41-7, 35KOs) will face Marlon "La Rata" Aguilar (21-8, 16KOs) for the WBC International featherweight title on December 16 at Auditorio Condesa in Mexico. The card has been billed as "Mexico vs. Nicaragua" mainly due to the main event but there will also be some undercard bouts pitting Mexican fighters against those from Nicaragua. A win may set up Gonzalez for a title shot in 2010.

Aguilar seems to be durable. He dropped his last two fights, both by decision, to Victor Terrazas and Daniel Ponce De Leon. Interesting that his last two fights were also for regional titles within the WBC and NABF.
