This weekend, former Bantamweight champ, Jhonny Gonzalez, gets his first shot at a title since his surprise loss to Gerry Panalosa back in 2007. He’ll be taking on reigning WBC Super Bantamweight title holder, Toshiaki Nishioka, in Monterrey, Mexico.
On the same card, Rafael Marquez makes his long-awaited return against Jose Francisco Mendoza in a WBC Super Bantamweight title eliminator.
If Gonzalez and Marquez both win, you can expect a great showdown between the two later in the year.
