    Are you claiming that Gonzalez doesn't get hit? You might want to rewatch his last fight. He slips and catches a lot, but far from everything. He's a bull, not a matador. Albeit a highly skilled bull

    Sor Rungvisai is a much more basic fighter but if Roman meets him in the middle of the ring, he is in danger of being overpowered down the stretch

      I havent seen him fight on the back foot and box no.

      This could be a horrible fight for Gonzales. Maybe much more torrid than the Cuadras one.

      Im tempted to bet on Rungvisai depending on the odds.

If someone could show me a fight where he does this.
        its not his style ,his not ouutboxer and he dont need to,jis rolling punches and fight inside very effective ,with good movement.

        Dont be offended ,just be more specific ,he can box for sure,outside he probably could but not as good as inside,you can fight bigger guy inside with succes.

          That is not his game and likely never will be. Is he talented enough to do it if he wanted to? I would say yes. I really don't understand the purpose of the question though. Very few fighters in the entire history of boxing were capable of doing everything in the ring and of those capable of doing it, even fewer were willing to do so when it would of benefited them in the ring. 99.9% of fighters are what they are and no matter how good you are. You are going to run into someone that is good enough that their style is going to give you fits.

          I mean seriously. How many fighters have you seen change up their style from fight to fight?
