Comments Thread For: Roman Gonzalez-Giovanni Segura in The Works For 3/5

[SlySlickSmooth]

No need to see this fight. I'm sure Mexico's boxing fans have heard of Chocolatito. They need to stop tip-toeing around the rematch with Estrada.

Same night as Thurman-Porter? Lol

This is wtf I'm talking about...all of boxing is in a complete lull right now, no1 is doing ****...and yet we have threads about American fighters being cherry pickers or how Haymon doesn't put together even mediocre fight. Who the **** 8s putting together good fights? Not HBO. Crawford vs. Lundy, Gonzalez vs. Segura, Golovkin vs. who the **** cares and where the **** is Lomachenko?

Yup. Boxing is in a rebuild stage. Other than Canelo, who is considering Monroe or Rosado, there are no stars.

[Aztekkas]

What's with Roman taking a liking for Estrada's leftovers all of a sudden? Shame, this is a horrendous fight... Segura should have just gone on with the Luis Concepcion fight, especially over this one sided beat down that awaits him.

Estrada Roman

3 straight past-prime opponents for Gonzalez on HBO. Why not Estrada II, Ruenroeng, Nietes, or Inoue?

[Kagami Taiga]

HBO's new strategy for building stars seems to be no different from the old one. Keep showcasing these guys, shoeing them score spectacular knockouts and talking about how great of a fighter they are in lieu of some big mega match that never happens. One can only hope 2016 is more exciting in the second half of the year.

So many surprised at this?

he is being pushed as P4P 1 but just 3 fights ago he fought some guy who was 38-31

exactly....

[The Gambler1981]

Watching Roman whoop someone's ass is kind of fun. it would probably be more interesting to watch someone who can resist a bit (like Viloria) before getting violated.

At the Forum or Stub Hub? I don't see this fight doing real well on it's own at the Forum.

There are several venues for such a fight in the Los Angeles area. The Alameda Swap Meet, for one.

Overboard

Gonzalez is fighting a fighter well past his prime they are hyping him up too much. It would be nice if he fought a champion and then some contenders.
