    I can't hate on a guy who's clearly excellent, very entertaining and is getting paid $500k wanting to get paid more especially with a limited shelf-life especially in this sport in those divisions.
    He was the already paid way more than anyone in his and around his division. The whole number 1 p4p and hbo fight got to his head. No hes out and its about Sor and Estrada

      long time admirer of Choco since the streaming days of is miniweight fights but he needs to retire, Rungvisai I was the end of him, and you have to wonder deep down losing his trainer around that time.

          Well said, sometimes people pick on little things that they don't know much about or investigate. This guy was entertaining and fought big fights without getting well compensated for it.

            He should consider going back down a weight. I think his style, while superb offensively, isn't outstanding on defense and he can't afford to be absorbing the kind of punches he was taking when his opponents at Super Flyweight got a chance to fire back at him.
