Roman Gonzalez Says Every Fighter Who Was Able to Withstand His Punch Became a World Champion

Roman Gonzalez is all set to headline the main event on Saturday night against Juan Estrada. The pair will fight for the unified super-flyweight belts, thus looking to trace the pathway of the undisputed championship ahead. Moreover, this will be the second time Gonzalez and Estrada will touch gloves with each other inside the squared circle.

Ahead of the fight, ‘Chocolatito’ was in a chat alongside Matchroom Boxing, unveiling his anticipation for this fight.

“I feel that every fight I’ve faced who’s been able to withstand my punch, have become world champions, and that’s what happened with ‘El Gallo’ (Estrada). Now, he’s one of the best at 115 lbs and he’s the WBC champion. And he’s a guy who’s gotten stronger.”

“Same as me, same as many other champions. And here we are, really happy that we’re going to put up a great fight,” he said.

Estrada and Gonzalez fought way back in 2012 for the WBA light flyweight title. ‘Chocolatito’ won this fight with a unanimous decision after he traded substantial punches with ‘El Gallo’ for 12-rounds.

However, both of them were substantially young then and lacked the experience they possess today. Gonzalez acknowledged the same and lauded Juan Estrada for the progress he’s made over the years.

‘Chocolatito’ seemed thrilled to confront a more polished version of ‘El Gallo’ in this rematch, which has higher stakes than the original.
