When it comes to colorful prizefighters at the top of his game, Carlos Cuadras figures to be near the top of the list. Cuadras himself will tell you he is at the top of the list. The jovial fighter is quick to throw jabs, both verbal and physical. The mixture of his personality and humility seems to draw more boxing fans with each passing day.
WBC champion Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez (46-0, 38 KOs), Nicaragua, 114.6 pounds, vs. Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (41-4-1, 38 KOs), Thailand, 114 pounds. Golovkin and Jacobs weighed in at almost exactly the same weight Friday morning inside The Theater at Madison Square Garden. Kazakhstan’s Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) officially weighed 159.6 pounds for their 12-round middleweight title fight at Madison Square Garden. Brooklyn’s Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) weighed 159.8 pounds.
NEW YORK – There figures to be much more weight separating Gennady Golovkin and Daniel Jacobs when they enter the ring Saturday night than there was Friday morning. Golovkin and Jacobs weighed in at almost exactly the same weight Friday morning inside The Theater at Madison Square Garden. Kazakhstan’s Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) officially weighed 159.6 pounds for their 12-round middleweight title fight. Brooklyn’s Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) weighed 159.8 pounds. Because their weigh-in was about four hours earlier than usual, at least 38 hours will pass between the time they weigh in and the opening bell for their HBO Pay-Per-View main event. Jacobs is expected to weigh at least five or six pounds more than Golovkin once their fight starts, but Abel Sanchez, Golovkin’s trainer, doesn’t think the earlier weigh-in will amount to more of an advantage for Jacobs than for Golovkin.
New York - Carlos Cuadras (35-1-1, 27 KO’s) made a name for himself on HBO last year when he took the consensus number 1 pound for pound fighter in the world, Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez (45-0, 38 KO’s), to depths we have never seen before.

World Boxing Council super flyweight world champion Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez (46-0, 38 KOs) of Nicaragua sent a loud response to Mexican boxers Carlos 'Príncipe' Cuadras and Juan Francisco 'El Gallo' Estrada. Both of the Mexican boxers are chasing after Gonzalez, who beat them both over the years.
1. This is your first training camp without your long-time trainer, Arnulfo Obando, who tragically passed away in October. This must have been extremely difficult for you on a personal level when that happened. Professionally, did it take much time to decide how to proceed?
The supposed plan after March 18 is to make a Roman Gonzalez-Carlos Cuadras rematch. That’ll require Nicaragua’s Gonzalez (46-0, 38 KOs) to defeat Thailand’s Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (41-4-1, 38 KOs) and Cuadras (35-1-1, 27 KOs) to overcome fellow Mexican David Carmona (20-3-5, 8 KOs) on the Gennady Golovkin-Daniel Jacobs undercard next week at Madison Square Garden (HBO Pay-Per-View). If Gonzalez is successful in a mandatory defense of the WBC world super flyweight title he won from Cuadras and Cuadras defeats Carmona, Cuadras gets the sense that there’s no guarantee that Gonzalez will fight him again in his next bout.
On the night of March 18th at the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City, both Roman Gonzalez (46-0, 38 KOs) and Carlos Cuadras (35-1-1, 27 KOs) - who engaged in an entertaining back-and-forth affair this past September - will be in action on the Gennady Golovkin-Danny Jacobs HBO pay-per-view undercard.
