Fighting in front of raucous crowd of 6,714 at The Fabulous Forum on Saturday night, Consensus #1 Pound-for-Pound Fighter Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez, (46-0-0, 38KO’s) captured his fourth divisional world title with a unanimous decision over WBC Super Flyweight World Champion Carlos “Principe” Cuadras (35-1-1, 27KO’s) in a sure-fire “Fight of the Year” candidate telecast live on HBO World Championship Boxing.

Roman Gonzalez defeats Carlos Cuadras
WBC super flyweight champion Carlos “Principe” Cuadras (35-1-1, 27 KOs) didn’t have the engine to defeat unbeaten challenger Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez, (46-0, 38 KOs) in getting beaten by him by a 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night at The Forum in Inglewood, California. Cuadras, 28, had the youth, power, weight and height to beat Gonzalez, but he didn’t have the heart or the stamina.
In the end, the 28-year-old Cuadras was beaten by the smaller Gonzalez because of his inability to stand his ground and fight in an old fashioned way. When the fight called for Cuadras to stand and trade in the championship rounds, he spent it on his bicycle trying to keep away from the 29-year-old Gonzalez. When Cuadras was trapped by Gonzalez on numerous occasions in each round, he would resort to holding to stop Gonzalez from landing his shots. The judges didn’t like Cuadras’ fighting style and they gave Gonzalez the fight by the scores of 117-111, 116-112, and 115-113.
