Comments Thread For: Roman Gonzalez Stamps P4P Status, Stops Viloria

[daggum]

He's good but doesn't exactly look like pfp number 1 material. Need to see more of him

yeah he didn't clinch enough to be a truly great fighter like floyd, ward, or wlad. lol the era of your boring cheaters is over. sorry dude

I went through Roman's resume and looked through every opponent. This was the only pulse hes fought since Estrada. He wasn't that impressive, hes a transitional "#1 P4P" till GGG gets it. He did good, as expected, key word, he was EXPECTED to. Estrada beat Viloria in better fashion. I truly believe Estrada beats Gonzalez in a rematch. The HBO commentators were hilarious, they would give Roman props for taking punches and discredit or not even mention the work Brian was doing. It was painfully obvious and cringeworthy to watch HBO at work. Roman is a great talent, but he struggled tonight, and hes not what people think he is. He's the Wlad of the lower weight classes.

he beat estrada, he beat the #1 guy at 105 when he was there, he beat a guy who is #2 at 105 right now, he beat the lineal champ at 112, and he beat viloria. yea his resume sucks because you don't follow these divisions derp! he struggled tonight by losing maybe 1 round and dominating a top fighter in his division? how is he the wlad? he doens't clinch like a cheater. sorry this is actual boxing. i know you are used to boring clinchers who don't want to engage at all but that era is over. go find a new sport if you want to see guys like ward and floyd who don't want to engage and use their hometown advantages to steal fights. these guys come to win not spoil.

The large majority of Gonzalez haters are people who don't watch the lower weights and assume that he has never beaten anyone since they have no clue about those weights. It's pure ignorance driving them to hate rather than learn.

I totally agree. This guy is the best fighter out there right now. The lower weights have always had the best fighters, but no coverage in the media. I am tired of the Mega fights that only disappoint, and make you feel robbed. These guys perform. I will put all of my money towards the lighter weight from now on.

Cheater like golovkin punching while David was on the mat. Mr rule enforcer where's the outrage

Pound for pound theory is bull****. It's just another way to market American fighters in the lower weight divisions because no one in this country is an elite fighter at the heavier weights. At some point, the media in this country is going to say that Andre Ward is the best fighter pound for pound even though Sergei Kovalev fights in the next weight class and can kick his ass.

terribly weak division ?

you're a perfect example of what the guy quoted above you is talking about .
you clearly had no idea who Roman was before late 2014 , still have no idea who the likes of Ioka , Estrada ,ruenreong etc.. are and haven't watched a single fight of these guys .
yet you'll go out on a limb and claim that a division that you never followed , a division not even shown on TV where you live, is " weak " and that any top fighter from it has a padded record built on fighting cab drivers .

seriously , this negative pushback the moment a fighter is getting some hype from the media and some fans is getting annoying .

Thank you!!!

you can tell Viloria was in great shape for this fight that's the only way he was able to take that beating and still stay on his feet after the first knockdown. Chocolatito throws some of the nicest combos of an fighter I've seen and he's accurate. He was born to box.

Great post!

i would have loved to see the ref not intervene and roman take that W with no question.

If this guy doesn't impress you, no one will. He is the best fighter out there! Be fair. I have not seen that kind of balance, and skill since Finito lopez, or Chavez Sr. Viloria is a very good fighter, and will beat most fighters in this weight class. There is no fighter as good as this guy right now.

that guy you quoted is an idiot. es all.
