Elio Rojas vs Jhonny Gonzales

Is the Rojas/Gonzalez fight being televised in the US?

I still favor Gonzalez after the impressive wins (blowouts!) against Hasegawa and Mtagwa, but Rojas is a very good fighter and has a good chance, if only he didn't only fight once a year... Not high on garcia lets see how he does against cab who people are sleeping on Is that fight confirmed? (Garcia-Caballero)

rojas is trained by buddy mcgirt. i'll take gonzalez in this one. lol yup. And Jhonny is trained by Nacho. I'm on Jhonny.

some one needs to step up and take that tittle from john dude is ready to go golden boy should de leon over if he goes back to his volume punching I think he has a great shot to take that tittle It has to be someone who's out of favor with US tv execs, Caba fits the bill. De Leon is promoted by GBP and still gets some tv time. Plus the WBA love them some Caballero, tho not sure if they can mandate that fight, with John's super champ status.

Yeah no doubt Ao is a great fighter the best or second best in superfeather weight but that all rojas has done. IF he cathes jhonny he might get the ko but I really doubt any one is outboxing gonzalez. Not high on garcia lets see how he does against cab who people are sleeping on Caballero has been hittable at 126+, and Garcia is pretty tall himself. I doubt he gets flustered by Caba's volume (if he dares). He's also very dangerous for Jhonny, who's less hittable lately and can definitely outbox (even punish) Mikey, but has no margin for error. Caba would be a good candidate to go to Indonesia and relieve John of that belt, if he loses to Mikey and doesn't take too much punishment.

He just seems too inconsistent. When he shows up, he's a nightmare for any and everyone. But, he's got to show up. He strikes me as a guy who either doesn't like fighting as much anymore, or cant get himself up for any fight other than a big one.

jhonny will keep him at bay with that great jab. Nd dam didnt know that might be the first time jhonny faces some one as tall as him. But jhonny has fought the best and has shown he can hang with any of them had it not been for his fragileness he would have one of the best resumes. But no one is sleepy on rojas this is a tought fight that should be on hbo I think jhonny has a slight edge but only slightly bc of his great power and has been looking great with nacho Agreed. I like Jhonny in the fight, but can definitely see the upset happening too - a lot of it has to do with the fact that I think Rojas will be able to land and with Jhonny being a bit soft between the ears, it may give Rojas some big confidence. I think a lot of people won't give Jhonny the big credit he deserves if he dominates this fight either though. This is a tough one, stylistically. And like I said, Rojas dominated Ao and Ao is a REALLY good fighter. I like featherweight though, great division to watch right now. Wonder if Garcia can measure up.

Nevermind, the updated schedule says FOXD

Rafael doesn't list a tv channel for this one on his schedule. Anyone know who's televising this? Is it likely to be on the wbcboxing stream? It's an awesome fight, and the Salgado Honorio undercard should be competitive.

Rojas might be able to outbox him, but I think he is capable of knocking him out also and to me Gonzalez is more vulnerable to get beat that way. His last three loses are all stopages. Plus don't forget this fight is on Gonzalez's turf so he is likely to get the benefit of the doubt should it go to the cards. If Rojas doesn't play to the stoppage he is taking a big risk. I always liked Gonzalez but those knock outs always give me pause, especially against a guy the caliber of Rojas but I think he will win. I certainly wouldn't be shocked if Rojas found a way to win as he is a stud also.

Not gona happen gonzalez is one of the best boxers out there. He has fought way better fighters than rojas and has outboxed them all. Never once has he been down on the score cards. His only flaw and a great flaw is that chin. You're underrating Rojas bro. Rojas will prove to be the better boxer by contrast of styles. The difference maker will be Jhonnys ridiculous power off that hook, which is then countered by him being a bit chinny. They will both be the same height and i think they share the same reach, the big difference will be Rojas's linky posture. He's got a longer torso and wider shoulders and gets absolute extension on his punches, and will most likely look to counter punch. Something Jhonny doesn't like and hasn't had to tolerate often. He also gets pretty low, which will prove effective for him because jhonny stands very tall. He's got the Nacho fighter stance. That Finito/Marquez-esque posture. I think people are sleeping on Rojas. The upset is very likely here, very very likely. Not sure how Rojas will look at this level being so inactive either though.

The Ao fight is on youtube, watched it last month. Ao, by the way, is actually really really really good. He dominated. Says a lot about Rojas. I'd expect him to upset Jhonny with superior boxing if he can withstand the power.

Yea Rojas has been real inactive only 1 fight each of the last two years. He was a stud though going to Japan and taking a title out of there is not the easiest thing, and the guy he beat for the strap Ao has not lost since. He should be a real stiff test for Jhnny Gonzalez

I'd be surprised if Rojas didn't win.

Rojas was a very dangerous title holder that got derailed by injuries. No clue what he looks like now.
