Newly installed pound for pound No. 1, undefeated Nicaraguan World Boxing Council flyweight champion Roman ?Chocolatito? Gonzalez looks in great shape according to the WBC following his required weigh-in 30 days prior to his much anticipated clash with Brian Viloria, the two division world champion.
The WBC reported that Gonzalez ?tipped 123.6 pounds on the scale,
looking in great shape.
The WBC website said ?Chocolatito? continues apace bar nothing, at his training camp in Costa Rica, ?needing the very best build up preparations of his career, as he acknowledges Viloria is an accomplished as well as dangerous rival, who'll try his utmost to usurp and dethrone him.?.
The manager of Viloria, Gary Gittelsohn contends that the elevation if Gonzalez to the No. 1 spot on the Ring pound for pound list ?can?t motivate him any more than he is.?
Gittelsohn told the New Standard/boxingmirro.com that ?I?m not sure that the additional ring rankings gives him (Viloria) more motivation that he already has coming into this match-up. He is demonstrating in his preparation for this fight that he?s going to leave nothing in that ring.?
The Viloria-Gonzalez showdown takes place at Madison Square Garden on October 17 on the undercard of what promises to be a war between Gennady Golovkin and Lucas Matthyse.
