Naoya Inoue vs Roman Gonzalez

[FinitoxDinamita]

How far away is this fight realistically and who wins?

[NEETzsche]

Realistically it's not going to happen. Inoue is moving up to bantam and Roman has his hands full at super fly

Well Chocolatito-Sor Rungvisai rematch is next then who knows. This fight lost a lot of luster last month. I still want to see it but Chocolatito isn't the same fighter anymore, regardless of what you thought the decision should have been

This was THE FIGHT I wanted to see, IMO the best matchup you could make. Mainly because I had no idea who would win -- they were IMO evenly matched.

Even though I thought Chocolatito clearly beat Sor Rungisvai, yeah, I agree that the fight has lost some of its luster.

Monster would probably be too much for Chocolatito - too young and energetic and too big. I'd still like to see it. Chocolatito would probably give a hell of a fight. I mean Sor Rungisvai never stopped coming, and Chocolatito never relented.

But 118 is too big for Chocolatito. As it is, he's noticeably undersized at 115.

Not going to happen. But with Cuadras & Estrada, I hope there are still great matchups at 115 w/ Chocolatito.

This is one of the most mouth watering fight that could be made yet nobody wants to talk about it?

Ya rather talk about Porter's sexuality or what Floyd mayweather invests his money on?

This is how i know that nsb has very few hardcore boxing heads.

Inoue-Gonzalez is the sht

I've talked about it a lot at work and I want to see it but you can't blame people for not knowing. Even some of the bigger fans at work don't know Inoue. I was a lot more excited prior to the loss, still would be a great fight but with a rematch coming I can't see Inoue sticking around for it.

Imo though Inoue is too big, active, and his body work would be punishing on an older guy like Roman.

Thats funny how the #1. guy in Inoue has not had a quality opponent like a Cuadras, Rungvisai, Estrada @ 115 but its Roman that has his hands full, shouldn't it be the other way around? whats up with this guy getting a pass?

I understand he has a desire to move up and become three weight champion but hes done nothing special at 108 with the exception of winning the title in such a short time and now at 115 hes become lineal -- great but there are dangerous fights for him that can solidify him as top P4P here but hes passing on them too? this guy is like the A.B of the lighter weights.

Knowing whether or not Porter takes penis is incredibly important. Moreso than some "punching match". What do you take us for?

[AKAcronym]

Naoya at this point would probably take it. Roman before Cuadras was on a roll and was looking pretty indomitable. But, the left that Viloria landed on Roman in the 9th? (can't remember which round) made me question how well he would do against Naoya. Inoue is obviously naturally bigger and stronger, with a great body attack. The fight as others have said has lost some of its luster. I think we've seen the ceiling of Roman and 118 is too much.

I like Inoue myself but everything you stated is on point. That comparison is fair as well. All the talent at 115 and Inoue evaded the top names and defended against lesser ones... smh.
