Comments Thread For: Is There a Second Act For Roman Gonzalez?

"Chocolatito" will put together another 1 maybe 2 (Including Sat.) fights WIN & look OK but will help him get some of his confidence back a bit. Then ultimatley another fight against either Srisaket Sor Rungvisai or Estarda. (Rung KO's him again & Estrada punishes him thru 12)

he’s also lost many fans in his native Nicaragua due to his politics.

Explanation needed.

He lost a Bunch of Casuals, true boxing fans still back him up, I for one do not agree with his political views and the views of Alexis Arguello both Sandinistas to the core(FSLN Sandinista Police is responsible for about 300 death on the recent social Nicaraguan Unrest) But Chocolatito did not pull the trigger on the protesters and was the Sandinista Party Police and to make it things worst he wore the Nicaraguan Police Cap so people are even more pissed, but I look beyond that, I have made a habit of appreciating the boxing skills of the boxer on the ring, what he does outside of the ring is of very little concern specially political views



I believe he can still **** with guys his size and coming from similar weight, for example Nietes and Ioka(Ioka avoided chocolatito like the plague when they were both 108)

If there is it'll be a short one. Lil guys don't last as long in the game as bigger guys. And I think he's 31, 32 now.

I think lil guys level off quicker cuz fighting is harder on a lil guys body &/or maybe cuz speed/timing is much more important in the lil guy divisions so if you lose just a lil bit of speed/timing, as you do as you age, it has much more traumatic results in the ring.

Its interesting that its a thing that lil guys do reach their prime sooner & thus burn out quicker to & theorizing why that is is an interesting topic.

Chocolatito working rate is beyond belief, the guy averages 1000+ punches per fight, is relentless, so that on top of what you said will shorten the boxing career of anyone

I don't see it. He's had some tough fights, and Rungvisai mauled him last time. He's still a terrific fighter, but don't think he has the reflexes or the punch resistance to be the absolute top dog.
