On December 18, despite having been inactive for more than a year and a half, former WBC world champion Jhonny González (69-11, 56 KOs) demonstrated his vintage quality stopping Sergio “Dandy” Puente (28-13, 12 KOs) vía fourth round TKO at the Tuzo Forum in Pachuca de Soto, Hidalgo, Mexico.
Jhonny, 40, who was a special guest at the WBC’s Tuesday Coffee explained that even though in the first rounds he felt out of range, he quickly got back into the groove and was landing on target in this bout fought at super lightweight. Jhonny says he wants to stay busy, planning to fight again in February or March. He`s currently studying offers of fights which include England and Phoenix, Arizona.
His next move should be retirement
He might need a couple of fights to get to retirement. Hope he’s done well with his earnings to not have to fight at 40 if he didnt want to. 140lbs is too stacked for Jhonny to have a legitimate run.
I like Jhonny, has always been one of my favorite fighters and he has had some great wins. He’s also had some great losses. But he’s a 40 year old former bantamweight champion. He should be fighting any more and definitely not at 140. He should retire with his health intact.
Gonzalez should be retired by now, for his own good. He has been kayoed 4 times in an 80 fights professinal boxing career that started back in 1999. His chin has never been reliable and always he ends in the canvas when facing a top guy with decent punching power. As I said previously, he should be retired and perhaps around 5 years ago.
Entertaining fighter,hope he financially fixed and retire soon.
Johnny johnny should retire.He is not young anymore.
Wait a minute. How is Jhonny only 40? He’s been fighting since I was like 16 and I’m pushing 50. LOL!!! May he get a few good checks and call it a day
