    he says within the next year or two we can expect this fight
    what do you make of it and do you think they can get a fight scheduled in 2016?

    He should do it. It will be a great technical match while it last but Gonzalez is moving up to 115 from what I understand.

    Gonzalez isn't that big (5'3" same as Nietes). He can move back down three pounds and make the fight. Super flyweight is a good fit for him, and I think he's only thinking about moving up because HBO wants him to fight Inoue. But there are good names for him to fight at super fly: Estrada, Ioka, Ruenroeng, and Reveco.

    Meanwhile, if Inoue and Gonzalez are destined to face each other at 115, first I want Inoue to fight Zolani Tete to prove that he's not just dominating smaller men with his size advantage, and I want Gonzalez to fight Narvaez to accustom him to the weight class.
