Comments Thread For: Roman Gonzalez Plans 112 Move, Eyes Yaegashi

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The WBA's "super champion" at flyweight, Nicaraguan Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez (35-0, 29KOs), is likely not returning to the junior flyweight division. The boxer flew to Panama on Tuesday to officially pick up his WBA belt, but he informed the sanctioning body that there are no opponents at the weight and plans to make a full jump to the flyweight limit of 112-pounds. One potential opponent being mentioned by his management, says Gonzalez, is WBC flyweight champion Akira Yaegashi (17-3, 9KOs) of Japan. Last weekend Gonzalez stopped Ronald Barrera in five rounds. The bout was fought at 116-pounds, which made many doubt the talented boxer would ever return to 108.

I like Gonzalez but, there's no opponents at 108? What a joke. Nietes, Hernandez and Fuentes are all good opponents for him. And Nietes and Hernandez would be unification bouts.

I think what he meant by that was there's no opponents at 108 that can make his as much money as at the higher weight classes.
