Four-weight world champion, Roman Gonzalez, has revealed his expectations for the blockbuster fight on Saturday. The WBA super-flyweight champion says both Nicaragua and Mexico will come to a pause when he fights Juan Francisco Estrada.

The two champions will meet in a highly anticipated unification bout on March 13. In addition to fireworks in the ring, ‘Chocolatito’ expects a lot of excitement out of the ring in both fighters’ home countries.

The 50-2 champion gave his views at the pre-fight press conference. He said, “I think the both countries are going to be paralyzed on Saturday watching these fights and hopefully we can give a good fight, we can go back home to our families, and may the best man win.” [via Translator]

This comment showed that Gonzalez knows the magnitude of this fight for the fans. In addition, the champion knows it will be a close fight and therefore he refrained from predicting a knockout win. Thus, it promises to be a fantastic event for all involved.
