Comments Thread For: Jonathan Gonzalez Puts His Weight Issues Behind Him

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to his advisor, Gabby Penagaricano, Puerto Rican junior middleweight slugger Jonathan "Mantequilla" Gonzalez (15-0-1, 13 KOs) has turned a corner in his career after having the best camp of his career.

Looking to erase the memory of his lackluster, overweight performance last September against former world champion Sergei Dzinziruk, Gonzalez will appear in the co-featured bout of ESPN's Friday Night Fights 2013 debut broadcast on Friday, January 4, 2013, live from Stage 305 in the Magic City Casino in Miami, Florida against Philadelphia's Derek "Pooh" Ennis (23-3-1, 13 KOs).

Gonzalez beat Sergei regardless of weight issues he earned the win even though it wasnt impressive

[Optimistic]

Well this is good news. I've always thought Gonzalez had talent, but his fatass has had no commitment except for eating food. But if this is true, and he's finally decided to put the fork down & actually train seriously, I applaud him. He could've beaten Dzinziruk more convincingly if he had started earlier, but better late than never.

This kid has no future in the sport. When I heard about him I thought I'd check him out. After years of watching, you can tell he lacks so much and doesn't have anything to really offer.

[ShoulderRoll]

For someone so young I thought he did well against the far more experienced Dzinziruk. If he trains like he is supposed to I wouldn't mind seeing him again.

Noticed they are not saying what weight class he will commit to. Expect the same **** if it's lmw.
