My understanding is that Jonathan Gonzalez did not make weight for his fight on HBO tomorrow night. More details to come #Boxing

Jonathan Gonzalez is overweight by a weight-class-and-a-half? Eh, it's only his HBO debut. Hard to get motivated for fights like this.
One of the Spanish writers tweeted that he weighed 163 pounds. Nice way to debut on HBO. :dead:
Gonzazles only chance of winning this fight was if Dzinzruk who hasn't fought in almost 2 years looked like he hadn't fought in 4 but being fat and slower than he already usually is
not the best way to deal with a boxer
Gonzazles is one of the worst prospects that has appeared in recent memory he's nothing more than a slow plodder without a punch a lesser Angulo basically
Ver good description. I remember a while back some puertorican told me that Mantequilla was going to beat Alvarez lmao.

What a piece of ***** this kid is. All the talk, change of trainer, move to Colorado and he comes overweight like that? Where is the effing discipline? How you want to act like you want to be the next Tito (that is his idol) and you dont even make weight. There is no excuse, not even his age. Another disgrace.
Edit: I asked someone in his FB page and they say that he made weight. If he didnt, all above stand.
Escobedo had to make weight in order to get a shot at the belt. There's no belt on the line for Dzinziruk vs Gonzales. There's zero reason to put himself in further disadvantage because Gonzales is a lazy slob.
Yea, you guys are making good points but I still don't agree with it. I mean, what are the chances this fight is still gonna happen? Now I might have to change my pick to Gonzalez TBH...
Hmmmm... I wonder how this'll affect the fight tomorrow?
I think the razor will still take this. I think Gonzalez was just planning on coming in bigger
So it would've been Ok for Escobedo to miss weight too? Cause apparently they knew Broner was gonna miss his weight.

That is an excuse, Dzinzurik was allowed to come in at whatever after Gonzalez missed it by 9 poinds
uh, why would Dzinziruk continue to drain himself if he was told Gonazales was going to miss weight by 10 pounds beforehand? Making the 154 limit just for the sake of it against a guy coming in at super middleweight would be idiotic.

Agree with the fact that it makes Diaz look bad though, but hasn't Gonzalez had weight issues before?
He did? Sorry, can't say I've followed Gonzalez. Im guessing his undisciplined? Cause he's young...
That's still no excuse bro. Very lame from both guys... Very idiotic.
I read Gonzalez was training with Pedro Diaz too? Not a very good look for the trainer either, smh.
That tells me that Dzinziruk is still planning to make the fight happen, not like it's a title fight anyway.
