Comments Thread For: Srisaket Sor Rungvisai Knocks Out Roman Gonzalez in Four!

I actually thought Chocolotito was just laying back letting Rungvisai work harder and get tired. But after like 2nd Round I just thought he wasnt even there. Like I said I thought he won the first fight but he totally did not show up for this one. His face looked blank the whole fight like he was a deer in headlights. Something thing looked off, and it really didnt help that Rungvisai had an awesome 4 month camp, probably was able to do alot of training with good rest. He looked alot more fresh and sharp than Choco. I never believed Choco was P4P but I know he's better than this. Too bad he might not get another big shot. That's what most people are probably sad about, its hard to see boxers you know have more lose it.

I think he himself knew after the Cuadras fight he was declining, which is why he didnt want an immediate rematch. He took this Thai guy on thinking it would set him up nicely as an HBO main event and HBO would now pay handsomely for him to rematch Estrada. It backfired the first fight, and now with this KO loss, it blew up in his face.

Yeah.

Cause I see people saying his power didn't carry to super fly. The thing about that is that he had already gone the distance vs Arroyo at fly right before moving up to super fly and going the distance now 3 times in a row plus a KO loss. So that aura of invincibility I felt it started with him not really being able to run through and hurt Arroyo inside the distance at flyweight.

I really believe that going from the older guys he was destroying recently, like Yaegashi, Sosa, Viloria and the several journeymen no hopers in between, who people were using as confirmation of his greatness and power - to going to these younger, fresher fighters like Arroyo, Cuadras, and Rungvisai was a big mind**** for him.

He should've taken that Estrada rematch much sooner, instead of going on that run of about 7 no-hopers, with about 3 legit old contenders close to retirement. It would've kept him sharp as a fighter.

Rungvisai has heavy hands and he was punching thru not at chocolate.....it was a beautiful dismantling of chocolate

Those punches definitely pop. It's not the fast type like Inoue but it has alot of weight behind it it seems.

The p4p list will be shifting again

[Combat Talk Radio]

reminded me a bit of the pacquiao feeling...

Thus why I refer to him as Minny Pacquiao. Besides his looks and the color of his trunks.

Chocolatito was overthinking everything. Idk why he strayed away from his game plan in the first fight. He's not a thinker. He's not a boxer. He's a fighter and he was in his own head.

Bring on Rungvisai vs Estrada!

He was scared, that what it is. That's what a ring bully does to you.

Yup. Plus I was reading an article like two years ago when Gonzalez was clear #1 p4p, I think maybe by cliff rold? He was arguing that high activity fighters in lower weight classes have a very very short prime and that Gonzalez maybe done in a year or two. He called it. Rungvisai is no joke though. He's wild, but he's tough, very strong and relentless. He'll win a couple more wars then go out on a whimper after taking too much damage.

He did yep I vaguely recall that too. His slippage has been evident for a while now granted I thought he'd get the job done tonight but he looked very faded tonight but credit to Rungvisai nobody can argue with the result this time.

Hopefully Chocolatito has made enough money he can retire happily. I'd like to see him take a farewell fight in his hometown & call it a day now he's been a terrific little fighter and I feel honoured to of followed his run. One of the very best little fellas I've ever seen.

HBO can replace choco with Inoue i guess. that was the fight that everyone wanted it, they can make him fight rungvisai or estrada.

Idk how much of any of this really has to do with HBO cause they put on two great cards and one as-advertised showcase. I feel like they did their job. As far as I see it, Visai vs Inoue is more appealing than Gonzalez, who is clearly not built for the weight. That's a great fight between two heavy handed guys.

Gonzalez - great, great run, he just hit his limit. But a fantastic fighter.

Glad Sri got the decision in the first fight because no way would he have gotten the rematch if Choc had won and Sri would have wondered what could have been, maybe his whole life cause Choc doesnt give rematches.

What a night of boxing, amazed at how close the judges had Estrada and cuadras good fight but I saw Estrada clearly winning countering effectively catching and parryng most shots from the 6th on.

Rungvisai god damn !!! Ko of the year for sure unless someone gets brutally koed next week
