Comments Thread For: Chocolatito Makes History, Decisions Cuadras For WBC Title

[kiaba360]

I gained a lot of respect for Gonzalez. I already had respect for him despite me saying F him about a month ago. It was mainly because of his fans.

Did you gain any respect for Cuadras?

Doubt the Nietes fight happens seeing as how Nietes vs Sosa is in exactly 2 weeks... If anything he said Ioka was his last fight at 112 before moving up to 115 in a very recent interview. Regardless, Roman looked extremely beatable for a fighter with Estrada's abilities in his last two fights. I hope the rematch gets made soon.

Nietes-Sosa shouldn't be too tough at this stage. Could be ready later in the year if Ioka can't happen.

When two guys give you that, it should be nothing but respect all around.

What a tremendous fight, ****ing awesome. Would definitely love a rematch. And **** that woman judge with her 117-111 score, they should stop letting women score fights.

That was a ridiculous scorecard.

The 116-112 was too wide as well.

I scored it a draw. I can see 115-113 for either fighter.

Tremendous fight. Gonzalez looked off his usual game. His range and accuracy was off and it appears that his power didn't carry up. Cuadras looked like he was trying his hardest to emulate a miniature Sergio Martinez, and just enough to be convincing. His hand speed surprised me most.

My scorecard (for what it's worth):
Gonzalez | Cuadras
9 | 10
10 | 9
10 | 9
10 | 9
9 | 10
9 | 10
9 | 10

113 | 115

Good scorecard.

So crazy because I said in the first half of the fight "this guy (Cuadras) is trying to fight like Sergio Martinez with his hands down and all" . Nice hand speed but too ineffective with his flashiness at times. Great fight nonetheless.

Great action fight, and it was Gonzalez who looked way more damaged in the final rounds. An old fashioned 15 round championship fight wouldn't seen Chocolate bar melt and fold. Cuadras has nothing to be ashamed of, and a rematch would be excellent. Gonzalez looked vulnerable in his last fight, and even moreso this fight. He definitely has some serious talent, but there's so much talent now he won't be #1 much longer. Hope to see both fighters again soon.

Chocolatito isn'ta hypejob. He's not my cup of tea. But he's a terrific offensive pressure fighter. Its hard to look like superman every time out if your actually going out seeking out top opposition. These lower divisions aren't seperated bya lotta pounds. Pretty sure he could camp out a division or two south of where he fought tonight. And anytime moving up came up, claim unification is his goal. And look like a monster.

This is the first decent guy he's fought in four years and he didn't look like any monster I'd be checking under the bed for.

BTW don't look now, but this was one of the bigger fight weekends of the year. Thousands of posts on the main boxing blogs, fans on FB and beyond having a blast. We need more like this.
