Triple world champion Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez is in the fast lane warpath, stepping on the gas, heading straight for the Forum in Inglewood, California, intent on the biggest fight of his career, against also undefeated Mexican world champion, Carlos Cuadras,
The WBC reports that ?the Roman road leading to a fourth championship in different divisions, would make him the first quadruple champion in Nicaragua surpassing the historic line in the sand etched by the legendary Alexis Arguello, who was crowned in three different weights: featherweight, super featherweight and lightweight.?
The WBC internet site states ?the much anticipated battle, in which Carlos "El Pr?ncipe" Cuadras defends his WBC super flyweight crown, contains all the bittersweet ingredients to be the sugar sweet Fight of the Year.?
This bejeweled war will be broadcast to the entire country on Saturday night by Box Televisa Deportes thanks to joint effort of Promociones del Pueblo and businessman Salvador Briman.
Since 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez captured his first world title at 105 pounds in 2008, until winning his third scepter at 112 pounds, he has prevailed against a fair sprinkling of Mexican fighters. This Saturday might be his tenth victory against Aztec fighters.
And as world champion, the first Mexican he demolished was Francisco "Chiquita" Rosas in February 2009, and then repeated the dose next year in Tokyo, Japan.
Roman also beat Ivan Meneses. After the two wins against 'Chiquita' Rosas and Meneses, followed Manuel "Chango" Vargas in March 2011.
In the middle of that year he defeated Omar Salado and in October beat Omar "Lobito" Soto. The following year, in April, he beat Ramon Garcia Hirales and then Francisco 'Gallo' Estrada.
The bulldozing WBC flyweight champion won against Edgar Sosa, in less than two blazing and blistering rounds.
Mexican Carlos "Prince" Cuadras has vowed ?to mix up and batter a Chocolate sponge, putting a savored sweet topping on his career.
You can't make an omelette, without racking eggs! Carlos has been scrambling around his most exacting most training camp, but it's led to sunny side up, ease and speed, toward the seventh defense of his green and gold belt at 115 pounds, against the best pound for pound fighter in the world.
Cuadras has said "For the weight I'll sweat a little and then rest my body. Not too much hard work. So I?ll feel strong, well. I have everything to make a smart fight. I'm well focused and won't make mistakes, plus connect the best shots without receiving ".
Cuadras age 28 has a professional record of 35 wins and no losses, 1 draw and 27 knockouts, while Gonzalez who's 29, has 45 triumphs without defeats and draws and 38 knockouts.
