Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez ranks among the best super-flyweights at present. With his exuberant resume, Gonzalez has cemented himself as the legend at this weight class. Moreover, he’s the most active fighter in recent times who keeps himself relevant in the roster. As he prepares for his upcoming unified title-fight with Juan Estrada, we look at his magnetic pro-boxing record.
‘Chocolatito’ debuted in 2005 in the flyweight division. In a 4-round fight against Ramon Urbina, Gonzalez showcased a snippet of his skills and knocked him out in just 2 rounds. This was a staggering entry into the professional boxing world.

With that win, ‘Chocolatito’ just kept piling on to the top with constant wins. He won his first WBA interim flyweight belt in 2010 with another sensational second-round KO. After this win, he was a clear contender for a title shot, and he even claimed the same in his next outing against Manuel Vargas.
Gonzalez kept adding those crucial ‘W’s to his name while changing divisions. In fact, he suffered his first career loss a whopping 12 years after his debut.
But he didn’t let it halt his charismatic run. In 2020, he won the WBA super-flyweight belt and even defended it successfully once. ‘Chocolatito’ is full of confidence ahead of his title unification clash against the WBC champion, Juan Estrada.
