It appears as though the final HBO boxing broadcast will be on Dec. 8. Promoter Tom Loeffler told ESPN on Wednesday that he has an HBO doubleheader in the works for that date on which junior bantamweight contender Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez (47-2, 39 KOs), the former pound-for-pound king and four-division world champion, and undisputed women’s welterweight world champion Cecilia Braekhus (34-0, 9 KOs), the world’s No. 1 female fighter pound-for-pound, would face opponents to be determined. He said there is no venue yet for the card but that it would likely take place in Las Vegas or Los Angeles.
