Gonzalez has been the bigger stronger guy most of his career. He runs into one guy that's bigger and stronger and he can't adjust? He can't use his #1 p4p skills to win? The bigger stronger guy doesn't always win. The more skilled guy wins.
Not when the smaller guy is shot to bits at the opening bell. He looked terrible from the get go.
why all the hate now hes lost? Do u all just hate any fighter who isnt american? You guys are ****ing pathetic. Give his opponent credit instead of trashing gonzalez whos proven himself repeatedly to be an elite fighter over the years.

I don't dislike Gonzalez but I have always had a problem with him being ranked P4P #1, I've argued against that status long before he faced Rungvisai
Wow, an intelligent approach to being full of sh_t! Gonzalez did not implore any tactic or strategy other than throw more punches! Had he tried to actually do other things tactically maybe we'd know if size played a factor or not. As it stands "size" is not why he loss, walking into punches is!
We objective and rational boxing fans already know size plays a factor. It ALWAYS plays a factor when two guys are relatively evenly matched. HENCE = weight divisions exist and not tactic divisions.
Perhaps he didn't do those things you've mentioned because they would've been ineffective either way. Truth is, when someone is significantly bigger than you in size and is relatively evenly matched with you in skills, no amount of tactical changes could overcome the size disadvantage.

So put Rungvisai and Gonzalez at 112 and your telling me Gonzalez wins? You saying you only saw a size difference? Did you not also see a skill difference? I did
Roman is the type of fighter that imposes his will upon you. He makes you fight the way he wants to fight. The issue is he ran into a man that was perfectly comfortable fighting that and when he did, he did not show versatility. He lacks the most effective attribute in boxing, not a jab, not a hook, not defense or offense.........the ability to ADJUST is the very most effective in all of the sport.
