    An extraordinary clash of modern lower-weight titans. In one corner, "The Monster" - explosive, concussive two-handed knockout power with pinpoint accuracy and elite distance management. In the other, "Chocolatito" - a 4-division maestro celebrated for his seamless combinations, flawless footwork, and suffocating pacing.

    Two offensive dynamos colliding over 15 rounds. Does Inoue’s destructive firepower break Gonzalez down, or does Chocolatito out-work him in a classic? Cast your vote and leave your breakdown below!

    Chocolitito was a hell of a fighter in the lower weights, I think he would give Inoue a run for his money. At 115 I got to favor Inoue by TKO 13 in a barn burner type affair.

    An incredible match up that we sadly missed out on. Saying that though I've always thought that Chocolatito's style would work well with a fast explosive counter puncher like Inoue. I personally think Inoue would have eventually slowed down Choco's aggression, break him down with brutal body shots, and then stop him inside 10 rounds. But what a thriller it would be.
