The expected war between undefeated Puerto Rican Jonathan "Bomba" Gonzalez and former double world champion Giovani Segura is now official.

This after both easily dominate the weighing on Friday afternoon at 112 pounds each going for the Latin title of the World Boxing fight Saturday at the star-studded "Night of Champions", to be held in the International Ballroom of El San Juan Resort and Casino in Isla Verde, Carolina, and is transmitted through the system of pay-per-view Direct TV in Puerto Rico.
Both Gonzalez (13-0, 11 KO) and Segura (29-3-1, 25 KO) remained several minutes on the face to face posing for the media after brawl scheduled weighed for a maximum of 10 rounds. And there were no incidents even though both have been quite vocal when it comes to talking about his rival in power.

Segura beat Iron Boy Calderon in his last days of his career, now a young Puerto Rican is looking for revenge. Same height but caring a punch and much faster than Iron Boy. This fight will be worth seeing, hoping for Jonathan to win this event. The winner will get a straight ticket to face double Mexican champion Juan Francisco 'El Gallo' Estrada before the end of 2013.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Veteran fighter Giovani Segura confirmed Saturday night what he had been saying all along: his experience would be enough to beat a courageous, yet inexperienced Jonathan Gonzalez.
Segura, of Mexico, a former two-time titlist, used a powerful right hand to disarm the finesse of Gonzalez and knock him out at 2:25 of the fourth round at the San Juan Resort and Casino.
The victory sends Segura, 31, to a possible title shot against flyweight champion, and countryman, Juan Francisco Estrada.
Segura (30-3-1, 16 KOs), fresh off a May loss to Edgar Sosa, sent Gonzalez (13-1, 11 KOs) to the canvas once in Round 2 and twice more in Round 4 – all on straight right hands -- to finish off the previously unbeaten 22-year-old from Puerto Rico.
"This fight is dedicated to the memory of my manager Arturo Mota," said an emotional Segura. "I want now a fight with Estrada. Simply give me that chance or a rematch against Edgar Sosa or Brian Viloria. I felt strong and better than ever."
The victory was Segura's third consecutive when facing a Puerto Rican opponent. He scored the two biggest victories of his career over former junior flyweight kingpin Ivan Calderon.
"The only thing I have to say is that he is a great world champion," said Gonzalez. "Even though I spoke too much, well this is part of boxing spectacle. But congratulations to Segura, he is a great champion and will be again."
On the undercard, Jonathan Oquendo scored a fourth-round TKO over Miguel Tamayo. Oquendo (22-3, 15 KOs), making his first appearance since a 2012 loss to Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., could become an option to face Ukranian Vassyl Lomachenko in his much-anticipated pro debut on the Oct. 12 Timothy Bradley-Juan Manuel Marquez undercard in Las Vegas.
Former 2008 Olympic gold medalist Felix Diaz, of the Dominican Republic, defeated Mexico's Edgar Llanes by first-round knockout.
