After an eight-year wait, Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez and Juan Francisco Estrada will once again step into the same ring.
The duo first met in Nov. 2012, with Gonzalez claiming a unanimous decision to retain the WBA junior flyweight title. In the years since, both men have gained a ton of experience and championship pedigree, with each fighter near-perfect in their respective bouts in the interim.
Now their paths have converged once again, this time with each sporting super flyweight gold. They'll square off in Dallas on Saturday, with Gonzalez carrying the WBA (Super) super flyweight title and Estrada holding the WBC and The Ring belts.
With each fighter in good form, Saturday's unification bout could be one of the best fights we see all year.

BetMGM has Estrada as a slight favourite to avenge his Nov. 2012 loss to Chocolatito. At -150, one must bet $150 dollars to make a return of $100 on a winning bet. Gonzalez, meanwhile, is valued at +125 to win the fight outright. This means a $100 dollar stake would yield a $125 profit, should he emerge victorious.
