Former three division world champion Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez (40-0, 34 KOs) is very geared up to make the first defense of his WBC flyweight championship. Gonzalez takes on tough Filipino challenger Rocky Fuentes on November 22nd at the Yokohama International Swimming Pool in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.
"I'm fine. I'm in excellent physical condition thanks to the training I've had for this fight on November 22. Rocky Fuentes is a strong opponent, who uses his hands well and throws a lot of punches. I hope all things go as well as they did in all my fights," Roman said after a training session with his team formed by Arnulfo Obando (Coach), Wilmer Hernandez (Physical Trainer) and his father Luis Gonzalez (Assistant).
"We've worked hard on the physical part. We hope to God that we have no problems on the day of the fight. I've been sparring with strong guys such as Felix Alvarado, looking for the best conditions to face Rocky. I'm leaving on the 6th f November to Japan and I am grateful to God for all things."
