Gonzalez has knocked out his last eight opponents. In his last four fights, he’s beaten Valentin Leon, Rocky Fuentes, Akira Yaegashi, and Juan Purisima. "For Roman, this is very similar to the opportunity Gennady had against [Grzegorz] Proksa, the first time on HBO to impress the fans," Loeffler said. "The fight against Proksa being on HBO changed everything for Gennady." Gonzalez was more succinct in his analysis of the Sosa bout: "I believe this fight will steal the night."
