‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez vs. Julio Cesar Martinez preview: A great fight marred by weight miss

There is another major combat sports event on this evening besides UFC 272. At the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, CA, Matchroom Boxing has a card on DAZN topped by the return of the great Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez (50-3, 41 KOs). The Nicaraguan great and four-division world champion was supposed to be in a championship bout, but instead will take on WBC flyweight king Julio Cesar Martinez (18-1-2 NCs, 14 KOs), who’s moving up in weight for this one... and then some.

The DAZN main card starts at 8:30 PM ET, with early prelim action live at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT.
