Gonzalez seems really talented from the clips of I've seen of him. I actually prefer that he stay a minimum weight though.
There are really intriguing matchups there for him including the South African Joyi and Raul Garcia. Those two guys had a pretty good fight a while back and they seem to be willing to travel and make quality lower weight fights which seems rare cause of the money issue.
who's he fighting next
Word was he was supposed to fight Juan Hernandez (who beat Meneses twice, I believe) on the Morales undercard, but the fight never came off. Haven't seen anything since, and I've been checking the major newspapers from Nicaragua every now and then.
Gonzalez-Segura is probably the most fan friendly fight that can be made from 112 and below.
He is in my top 5 favorite active fighters.
P4P one of the hardest punchers in the sport.
I was really hoping to see him on the Erik Morales undercard. Was disappointed when I found out he was not going to be on the card anymore. I don't even know why he wasn't on it...
Had a great coming out fight with Niida. Fought another good opponent in Katsunari Takayama.
But, after that he has really stepped the level of comp... He really needs to step the level of comp up soon like his next fight.
I would love for him to fight Oleydong at 105 and then move to 108 to fight the likes of Segura and Calderon...
All I know is that he needs to step it up soon... I am one of his biggest fans on here. But, he can't keep fighting this cans..
He could definetly fight at featherweight, What's holding this man back is what I want to know. Him against hozumi at bantam would be a dream match lol.
let's hope he can move up well in weight.
Beause a lot of people are just casual fans. They don't know anybody else but Mayweather, Pacquiao, De La Hoya (who is retired) but you still get some of the same responses anyways. I've seen some of his highlights and the kid can punch. Correct me if I'm wrong, but has he fought in the states? And add the fact that he's at minimum weight doesn't help his case. Just imagine if he was 30-40 lbs heavier and fighting in the states. He would be known to all.
Because he fights in the least talked about division.
You'll get little to no responses in a thread talking about him or showing video of his fights.
Good fighter nonetheless, His destruction of Niida was a replica of JCC Sr. He just walked him down, stayed in his chest, beat him up and chopped him down.
