Chocolatito back in September?


According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, former four-division world champion Roman Gonzalez could be back in September.

Gonzalez, the only fighter from Nicaragua to win world titles in four weight classes, lost his junior bantamweight belt — and his status as the widely recognized pound-for-pound No. 1 fighter in the world — to Thailand’s Srisaket Sor Rungvisai on March 18 on the Gennady Golovkin-Daniel Jacobs undercard at Madison Square Garden in New York.

“The WBC ordered the rematch, and that’s the fight we’re looking at doing. HBO wants to air that fight. The rematch is the plan but we haven’t finalized an agreement yet, but that’s the plan as of now,” Loeffler said. “We saw the first fight was and it was a tremendous fight.

“Srisaket rose to the occasion and performed under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden and took advantage of the opportunity, but most people thought Roman won that fight and that’s why the WBC ordered a rematch. So it will be a fight to see if Roman is still a top pound-for-pound fighter or if Srisaket is really the top fighter in that division.”
