On the morning of March 5, 2022, Beijing time, Roman Gonzalez and Julio Cesar Martinez, nicknamed Chocolate, held a pre-game weighing ceremony in San Diego, USA. During the weighing ceremony, Nicaraguan boxer Roman Gonzalez, who has won the title of World Champion in four categories, easily passed the weighing ceremony with a provisional weight of 114.8 pounds (52.07 kilograms). His opponent, Julio César Martinez, had an unexpected situation during the weighing ceremony.
First of all, in the first weigh-up, Julio César Martinez weighed 117 pounds (53.07 kg), which was 2 pounds more than the game requirement. Faced with this result, the California Athletic Commission, the overseer of the event, asked Julio Cesar Martinez to immediately carry out a surprise weight reduction.
Julio Cesar Martinez returned to the weighing site after two hours of exercise weight reduction, but when he stepped on the scale for the second time, it was clear on the scale that he weighed 116.4 pounds (52.97 kilograms) and still did not meet the competition requirements (under 115 pounds). After the event supervisor announced the weighing results, the Romain Gonzalez team expressed strong dissatisfaction, and even the audience began to boo.
Finally, after some consultation, the two teams reached an understanding. Julio Cesar Martinez will still be scheduled to play tomorrow at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California, against former world boxing champion Roman Gonzalez, though he will face a fine for winning or losing.
The weighing results of this weighing ceremony also reflect the readiness of the two boxers from one side. Roman Gonzalez, 34, currently has a professional record of 50 wins and 3 losses, with 41 KO opponents. In today's professional boxing super flyweight is enough to compete with Mexican boxer Juan Francisco Estrada for supremacy. Originally, the two old enemies were supposed to have a three-time duel tomorrow, and Roman Gonzalez also made very meticulous preparations for this. But Juan Francisco Estrada had to close the training camp and withdraw from the game and be hospitalized because he recently contracted pneumonia from the new coronavirus. So the organizers of the tournament brought in Julio Cesar Martinez, a compatriot of Juan Francisco Estrada, to save the game.
Julio César Martinez, 27, was also a super ropeweight boxer when he first entered the professional boxing world in 2015, and considered that his strength was not superior in the super ropeweight, he has been playing in the ropeweight and won the WBC Flyweight Boxing Championship. However, in November last year, Julio César Martinez's defending title was temporarily terminated due to a head injury from his opponent, and the match was ruled out of result.
After the end of the defending battle, Julio Cesar Martinez was in a sabbatical, and when he was invited to come to the rescue, there were less than 6 weeks left before the match was held. Almost all Julio César Martinez could do was lower weight. So it's doubtful what Julio Cesar Martinez will be able to play tomorrow.
According to the publicity, Julio César Martinez and Roman Gonzalez will compete for the WBC-certified Diamond Boxer title tomorrow, but given julio Cesar Martinez's overweight, the Diamond King Gold Belt is almost 100% out of line with Julio Cesar Martinez.
