RCadayona - Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines - Posibleng idepensa ni Nicaraguan world fly­weight champion Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gon­zalez ang kanyang korona laban kay dating two-time titlist Brian ‘The Hawaiian Punch’ Viloria.

Ito ay itatakda sa Oktubre 17 sa Madison Square Garden sa New York City bilang undercard ng middleweight title unification bout nina Gennady Golovkin at David Lemieux.

“Everything is poin­ting towards Viloria,” sabi ni Carlos Blandon Vidaurre, ang manager ni Gonzalez, sa panayam ng ESPN.com.

“I’m glad Viloria’s team jumped back in the race. I believe he is an excellent fighter and will help Roman give ano­ther amazing perfor­mance,” ani Vidaurre.

Kasalukuyang hawak ng 28-anyos na si Gon­zalez ang malinis na 43-0-0 win-loss-draw ring rceord kasama ang 37 KOs, habang bitbit ng 34-anyos na si Viloria ang 36-4-0 (22 KOs).

Nagmula si Viloria sa first-round knockout win kay Mexican Omar Soto sa kanilang rematch noong Hulyo 25.

Umiskor naman si Gon­zalez ng second round KO victory kontra kay dating world champion light flyweight titlist Edgar Sosa ng Mexico noong Mayo 16.

Inamin ng Top Rank Promotions na nagkaro­on ng pag-uusap ukol sa Gonzalez-Viloria fight.

“There was a conversation about it amongst us on Thursday,” sabi ni Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti.

Bukod kay Viloria, ang iba pang maaaring ita­pat kay Gonzalez ay si­na dating flyweight ru­ler Giovani Segura (32-4-1, 28 KOs) ng Mexico at Puerto Rican McWilliams Arroyo (16-2-0, 14 KOs).
