Legendary warrior, well deserved.

[Boxing Logic]

Legend. Overcame more adversity in this fight than certain cherry pickers of the last couple eras showed their entire career. A true warrior's heart.

As a real boxing fan I'm going to say this because I am honest to my self: Chocolatito really won the fight! If I say Chocolatito lost the fight then I am just fooling myself!

Chocolatito got robbed! It is an honor to see him fight! Just like older generations got to witness chavez sr. Wilfredo gomez, sal sanchez, sugar ray etc... thanks chocolatito for your epic battles and giving us flashes of what the sport used to be!

Chocolatito is already a legend. He will rematch Sor and win the rematch. Like all great fighters do he will bounce back.

Rungvisai takes Choco the distance AGAIN, beats him AGAIN, because Choco doesn't know how to fight at range.

Chocolatito is one of the very few fighters of today that fights for honor, and he doesn't get paid well considering all that he has accomplished. A true warrior!

u missed the fight i take it or dont know how pro fights are scored. according to the 4 crieteria for scoring fights, gonzales beat rungvisai by a significant margin, but he couldnt beat the judges.
