Jonathan “La Bomba” González captured the WBA interim flyweight title after defeating Yankiel Rivera by unanimous decision this Saturday at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

A spirited all-Puerto Rican battle ended in victory for the more experienced fighter, as the judges turned in scorecards of 117–110, 116–111, and 114–113, all in favor of González.

The 34-year-old González, a former world champion, entered the bout determined to reclaim championship status. Despite being listed as the underdog on paper, he showcased his full arsenal in a grueling contest, outworking Rivera and halting his bid to capture the black-and-gold belt.

The win is a pivotal one for González, who was coming off a loss to Anthony Olascuaga. He rebounded immediately in a high-profile, meaningful fight that keeps him firmly among the elite of the flyweight division.

With the victory, “La Bomba” improved his record to 29 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw, with 14 knockouts. Rivera suffered the first defeat of his career and now stands at 7–1–1, with 3 knockouts.
