It’s not a new thing to notice the buzz in an arena before a big fight. It was impossible to miss tonight. Fans showed up knowing what they were going to get. Two of the greatest sub-bantamweight performers of all-time were locking horns for the third time. It was special twice already.

GLENDALE, Arizona – Cristofer Rosales put one in the win column for Nicaragua over Mexico in the first of two matchups on the night between the two countries. It came on a night where he was meant to serve as a test for a rising prospect in Mexico’s Joselito Velazquez. It turned out to be too much, too soon for the 29-year-old from Oaxaca, Mexico, as Rosales prevailed in a well-earned ten round, unanimous decision.

GLENDALE, Arizona – Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez once again under the divisional limit for a highly anticipated showdown with Juan Francisco Estrada.
