Chocolatito: Estrada Has The Right To Talk; We're Going To See On Fight Night

•Mar 13, 2021

Roman Gonzalez has taken notice of Juan Francisco Estrada’s comments during the promotion of their long-awaited rematch. The respectful champion more commonly known as “Chocolatito” declined to respond to his Mexican rival’s talk of how he deserved to win their first fight and how he’ll knock out Gonzalez in their rematch. The 33-year-old Gonzalez, a four-division champion and former pound-for-pound king, would prefer to let his hands talk for him in the ring Saturday night at American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Juan Francisco Estrada felt he couldn’t pass up his first world title fight. Estrada knew, of course, that dropping down to 108 pounds to challenge Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez for his WBA light flyweight title would put him at a disadvantage. Mexico’s Estrada had never competed in that division before boxing Gonzalez in November 2012, but Estrada, then 22 years old, accepted that title shot anyway.

After an eight-year wait, Juan Francisco Estrada will get his shot at redemption Saturday night in Dallas. Yet even with his rematch against Roman Gonzalez fast approaching, Estrada can’t help but think he deserved more credit than he received on the scorecards in their first fight. Gonzalez won a 12-round unanimous decision in their 108-pound championship match in November 2012, but the margins by which the judges favored Gonzalez are what Estrada questions.

While he is obviously biased, Jose "Chocolatito" Gonzalez (17-0-2) is very confident that his cousin Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez (50-2) will come out with a victory when he faces Juan Francisco "Gallo" Estrada (41-3) on Saturday night in Dallas in a rematch of their 2012 fight that Gonzalez won by unanimous decision. The fight will top a DAZN stream that is promoted by Matchroom USA.
