LIFE ISN?T A BOX OF CHOCOLATES FOR ?CHOCOLATITO? GONZALEZ By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Wed, 30 Sep 2015  The World Boxing Council reports that ?Life certainly isn't a box of chocolates for WBC flyweight Champion Roman Gonzalez right now!? In a story on its internet site the WBC said ?Seeking and craving the sweet taste of success, ?Chocolatito? who's up with the larks, hits his roadwork, long before the dawn chorus. And then on to grueling afternoon sessions in the gym at Fight Club Center in Costa Rica.? Chocolatito quipped: "I didn't get where I am today without making some sacrifices!" But so has his challenger for the WBC flyweight title former two division champion Brian Viloria who has looked terrific in sparring against Mexican opponents at the Wild Card Gym of Freddie Roach. In fact early this morning Manila Time, Ala Gym head trainer and former world title challenger Edito ?Ala? Villamor told us that he has watched Viloria spar and said he is looking terrific. Viloria faces off against Gonzalez, the newly installed pound for pound No.1 at Madison Square Garden in New York on October 17. The WBC noted that time ?is ebbing away, in the countdown to the clash with Viloria? and the ?physical condition which Roman has bolted on in Costa Rica will show his mettle as well as iron resolve? on fight night.. Gonzalez? ?speed and the stamina gain, have been significant, plus evident? indicating that Viloria ?must arrive to this fight in similar peak condition, if he wants to square up, viz a best foot forward, toe to toe confrontation with the WBC flyweight Champion.? According to the undefeated Nicaraguan?s trainer, Arnulfo Obando, the idea is that Roman polishes off his preparation with resounding 180 rounds of sparring. He and his team will be traveling to New York on October 10th. Click here to view a list of other articles written by Ronnie Nathanielsz.  |
