Now that the luster is off Chocolatito...

[Mike D]

Terrific little action fighter, no question. But a lot of the aura around Roman was that sparkling 46-0 record and the fact that he was considered by some to be the sport's pound for pound mythical #1. Well all that's gone now.

Last 2 fights -- dragged into deep waters against Cuadras, and now, an unthinkable loss. I mean yes give the Thai dude all the credit in the world. He deserves it. But Roman was a MASSIVE favorite over him.

It already seemed like the ceiling for him was fighting on HBO Golovkin undercards...does this remain the same? I really don't see him headlining his own card -- especially now that the shine is off, but even before this L guys (like him) at the much lower weights don't really garner much of a demand as is.

So now that the aura and mystique is all but gone, where does Roman Gonzalez go from here? How much has this loss damaged his current status?

The size means a real lot to the little guys, Roman is the better fighter he just struggled with the size and strength, great fight .

[The Gambler1981]

I would just say enjoy him while he lasts because he is not going to be around that long at that size taking that much punishment with already a ton of mileage.

The loss hurts because he really needs a gimme or two and some time off to rest up, but he is probably going to go in tough again so that damage is only going to compound further.

From the outside looking in, being a weight bully came back to bite him in the ass. He needs to fight in a weight class where he can have boxing camps instead of fat camps where he's doing road work covered in garbage bags.

Once he finds that weight class, we'll see where he goes from there. The dude weighs more than Rigondeaux on fight night. It's ridiculous.

He got a bad cut in the 2nd round, hopefully he has a rematch clause cuz I would love to see a rematch

I didn't score the fight but I watched the entire fight and I thought Rungvisai won but Roman deserves a immediate rematch

There's a lot of issues surrounding him. First off, He wasn't able to carry his power up to Super flyweight. The type of style he has requires power. Second, his long time trainer died so an adjustment period was expected. Third, he took a beating against Cuadras and I'm not sure he's recovered from that.

He might be in a position where he just can't go forward. He got really beaten up in this fight.

He cant make the 112 pounds!

This is his real weight!

He can't make the flyweight division, he said that he was super tired trying to make 112.

This is his real division, like Chavez Jr, this guy was bullying people in lowers weights.

Maidana was 15 pounds heavier than Floyd and Floyd outboxed him.

Roman does not have skills and his defense is sh.it, he is a one dimensional fighter with a lot stamina but stopping all with his face.

I don't think it is it gets harder as they get older but he needs to stay there because he cannot give that kind off size away to top guys as he cant hurt them, gotta take my hat of to the Tia he fought his heart out they both did gee that was an excellent fight.
