  • On March 5 in San Diego, Nicaraguan pound-for-pound legend and former four-division king Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez clashes with Julio Cesar Martinez, a late replacement for what was set to be a trilogy fight with Super-Flyweight rival Juan Francisco Estrada.
    Martinez - WBC World Champion at Flyweight - came in after Estrada tested positive for COVID-19, stepping up a weight class to take on one of the Mexican's idols in the sport.
    Despite the threat, Chocolatito says that the decision to take on such a dangerous opponent was 'no problem' as he looks to line up the final few fights of his career, cementing a legacy in the final few fights he wants to clear 'for family and country.'
    Watch as we go in camp to talk legacy, March 5 and how the lower weight classes have enjoyed the spotlight in the last decade.

    He's what boxing is all about - humble yet an absolute icon in the ring. It's such a pleasure watching Chocolatito fight. Future HOF.

      @@avtobus1234 @Flow Kickz Hey leave that poor man alone, he clearly lacks an eye for top tier boxing skills what so ever.
      i watched a lot of boxing and Choco is one of the, if not the smoothest aggressive boxer/punchers I’ve literally ever seen.
      His aggressive, come forward while defensively responsible talent is akin to Errol Spence. But errol isn’t nearly complete a fighter as Roman.
      Romans inside game is nasty as fk, slip, step back inch away from a punch, come back with hooks to the body and all that jazz is beautiful, he’s doing so much shit on the inside that most aren’t even conscious of. Anyways Im rambling but Roman Gonzalez is “special”, this word is thrown to quickly but he actually is special.
      Anyways this fight with Martinez, I’ll admit I haven’t watch enough of Martinez, I will but from what I’ve seen so far, dude has a heart of a lion and can punch like a mule. A little worried, yes. And that’s how it should be, “the big drama show”
