While former two division world champion Brian Viloria is right now concentrating on his upcoming ?stay busy fight? in Glendale, California against an opponent yet to be named, he told the New Standard/boxingmirror.com, ?I?m licking my chops? in anticipation of a possible title fight against undefeated Nicaraguan Roman? Chocolatito? Gonzalez who has zoomed to the No. 2 spot in Ring Magazine?s pound for pound rankings behind Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Viloria told us he is right now concentrating ?on getting myself ready as they look for a possible opponent? for my next fight.
He said he?s been training for the past two months at the Wild Card Gym of Freddie Roach in Los Angeles who at times works with him but most of the time its Roger ?Speedy? Gonzalez who is a fighter/trainer and was described by Viloria ?really good especially on the punch-mitts and is slick.?
Viloria?s regular trainer and the assistant of Roach, Filipino Marvin Somodio is currently in the Philippines reportedly attending to the papers of his wife so she could go to America with him.
Brian indicated that ?the word is out? about a possible showdown with Gonzalez which he said ?I welcome and am looking forward to. It should be a great fight? even as he pointed out that Gonzalez is ?a well-schooled fighter.?
The former WBO/WBA flyweight champion who lost his titles in a terrific fight with Mexico?s Juan Francisco Estrada by a split decision in Macau on April 6, 2013 said ?I have faith in myself but I will have to be in top shape for that fight.?
The 34 year old Viloria has a record of 35-4 with 21 knockouts while the 28 year old Gonzalez has a record of 43-0 with 37 knockouts.
