Cuadras, 27, puts his belt on the line for the seventh time against one of the world’s pound for pound stars and has nine pounds to lose before fight night.
Gonzalez, on the other hand, is just two ounces heavier after coming up from flyweight in a bid to win a fourth weight world championship.
Most people’s current pick as the best fighter on the planet, Gonzalez goes into the bout as a heavy favourite to rule in yet another division.
