World Boxing Council super flyweight champion Carlos Cuadras has promised to have fun when he steps into the ring against unbeaten pound for pound No.1 Roman ?Chocolatito? Gonzalez at the Inglewood Forum in California on Sunday, Manila Time.
The WBC quoted Cuadras who said, ?I am very happy having the opportunity of doing what I love the most. I will get inside the ring and I will have fun. That is the most important thing? even as Cuadras pledged ?I will fight with passion and pride.?
Meantime, pound for pound No.1, unbeaten Roman ?Chocolatito? Gonzalez moves up a division to face Cuadras in an attempt to win a fourth world title.
He said ?this is a great opportunity to get my fourth belt, something my great idol Alexis Arguello couldn?t do but now I will try to achieve it in honor of his memory. For me it would be great.?
Gonzalez has been training in spartan Big Bear, California while Cuadras has been hard at work in Maywood with both training camps situated in sunny California.
Gonzalez has been minimumweight, light flyweight and flyweight champion and he is now going after the super flyweight crown which, if he succeeds in winning will make him the first Nicaraguan to win four world titles.
