Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez has reached a landmark beyond those of his first HBO main event at the Forum on Saturday night and the possibility of becoming a four-division world champion at 29. The 5-foot-3 flyweight champion Gonzalez will be tested Saturday when he moves up three pounds to fight for the World Boxing Council super-flyweight belt belonging to unbeaten Carlos Cuadras of Mexico. “The combinations I know, very few rivals know,” said Gonzalez (45-0, 38 knockouts). Gonzalez can foresee a career that could have him fight four more divisions above him, up to 130 pounds. The HBO broadcast begins at 2:30 p.m. PDT with unbeaten middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s title defense against unbeaten welterweight champion Kell Brook at London’s O2 Arena.
