Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez Out of WBO Rankings, Moloney Rises

Gonzalez’s last fight was in July 2024, when he scored a 10th-round TKO over the 27-5 Rober Barrera in a bantamweight bout. That was Chocolato’s first time back in the ring since his trilogy with Juan Francisco Estrada wrapped in December 2022. Gonzalez, 52-4 (42 KOs), will soon be concluding his latest long layoff; he’s scheduled for a September 12 bout in his hometown of Managua, Nicaragua, against Hector Robles, 13-8-3 (4 KOs).
