Comments Thread For: Roman Gonzalez-Ruenroeng Near Deal For Unification

Those are some old flys, no lie. Everybody is little at one time and flyweight competition gets hard at about 12 years old. Amnat may have something for Gonzalez, he's a dirty old man. Muey tia stuff, rastlin, but you're right. Donnie Nietes is pretty old too

When I first saw Donnie Nietes, I thought he was a retired boxer who's picture show him at 40 years old. Couldn't believe he is actually 33. He looks very old, I guess he just didn't age very well. He can pass for 45 definitely.

Amnat is really good but I think he'll do well to go the distance in this fight. I'd take Roman by mid to late round stoppage and wouldn't be entirely surprised if it ended earlier than that.

I think little people have faster metabolisms, I could be wrong. It's probably stressful too, always worried about bigger people.

Oh hell yeah. Chocolatito does everything you want to see from a fighter.

Ohhh but as soon as GGG wants to unify, suddenly he's ducking Ward.

I really hate the hype Gonzalez is getting, but in Roman Gonzalez defense in relation to Golovkin, hasn't Gonzalez moved up 7lbs already? At least he is unifying in another weight class above him. I'm not gonna sit here and change my tune either, and act as if from 105 to 112 is a big deal. But at the very least he moved up. GGG refuses to do that. If Golovkin was doing what Gonzalez is doing at 168, he'd get credit for it. He'd get credit for unifying 168, which is more on equal terms as RG unifying at 112. Nobody cares about his unifications at 160, as proven by the 97k who paid to watch his unification.

I see what you mean about doing it at 7lbs above. But that is why he's P4P #1 and GGG isn't. You do realize Gonzalez fought in that undercard right? Does that mean no one cares to watch his unifications either?

oh ok and they will care if he moves up and fights jack, abraham and degale? big credit there! jack who just ktfo, degale who lost to groves and abraham who lost to the best fighters he fought at 168. strange how you think that's a strong division and yet label 160 as weak. its almost like you are entirely inconsistent. lemieux was ko'd 4 years ago why is ggg fighting him!....yet jack was ko'd last year move up and fight jack! lmao what hypocrisy.

DeGale is a very good fighter, undeniably better than any top 10 MW. Olympic Gold medalist, and you'd be kidding yourself as bad as saying GGG vs Lemiuex will be an all action competitive fight, if you think otherwise.

Jack bounced back and has better wins than any one GGG has fought. Dirrell and Groves are better than Rosado and N'Dam. Jack's bounce back wins made him an upset king in 2015, he upset both Dirrell and Groves. Jack would also be a physically tougher fight for GGG. Derrick Edwards

DeGale, Jack, Abraham, Ramirez, the Dirrells, I understand why you don't want Lil G moving up there.

TKO'd fam not KO'd.

Amnat is the freshest of the bunch, despite his age. Viloria was a good win, Amnat would be too. Sosa and Valentin were throw away fights.

Also, Amnat has had a grueling string of fights and has remained undefeated. Wins over Arroyo, Casimero, Shiming, Ioka and Fuentes trumps a lot of resumes at any division.

Regardless, if the fight happens and Roman wins, the Estrada rematch would be for all the marbles. A historic rematch for the IBF, WBC, WBO, WBA and the Lineal strap... What more can you ask for? This is simply the best route Roman could possibly take on his way to a rematch with Gallo. Seriously lol, Amnat would be the best name on Roman's resume in years.

We might be looking at the first undisputed champion in the flyweight division since 1965. 2016 is gonna be a pretty exciting year in boxing. Either Gonzalez or Estrada is going to be the first undisputed champion since Jermain Taylor in 2006.
