NEW YORK / MANAGUA (September 3, 2010)—Tonight the man some boxing insiders say is the best little fighter in the world, WBA Straweight champion Roman “El Chocolito” Gonzalez makes his debut of 108 lbs with an eye of fighting new world champion Giovanni Segura.
The entire fight card is sponsored by Boxeo Prodesa and will feature a former world champion on the card and can be seen LIVE on www.gofightlive.tv for free at 9pm eastern by simply clicking: http://www.gofightlive.tv/Events/Fight/Boxing/Lluvia+de+Estrellas%26%23047%3BIt%26%23039%3Bs+Raining+Stars/785
Gonzalez has a perfect record of 25-0 with twenty-one knockouts and has a crowd pleasing, seek and destroy style.
He won the title on September 15th, 2008 with a pummeling of longtime champion Yutaka Niida in front of Niida’s fans in Japan. He has since made four defenses and now looks to move up in weight to capture a 2nd world title.
Gonzalez will be taking on Jesus Limones (9-1-1, 4 KO’s) in a scheduled ten round bout.
The co-feature will pit former WBA Lightweight champion, Jose Alfaro (23-6, 20 KO’s) taking on power puncher Joel Juarez (25-10-1, 23 KO’s) in a Jr. Welterweight bout scheduled for 10 rounds.
Alfaro won the WBA Lightweight title on December 29, 2007 with a twelve round split decision over Prawet Singwangcha in Bielfeld, Germany. He dropped the belt in his first defense as he was stopped by Yusuki Kobori.
Alfaro won three in a row that set up a big fight that was seen all over America against Antonio DeMarco on Showtime.
Alfaro fought well before being stopped in a fight that catapulted DeMarco to a world title against the late Edwin Valero.
In Alfaro’s last fight, he dropped a tight twelve round unanimous decision to Mexican legend Erik Morales in an exciting bout that will be on the short list for fight of the year.
Juarez is a former WBC Continental America’s and Mexican Welterweight champion and the Mexican native is coming off a knockout loss to undefeated Roberto Ortiz
