Sor Rungvisai: I've Been Patiently Waiting As Estrada's Mandatory For Over A Year

•Mar 17, 2021

Srisaket Sor Rungvisai doesn’t want to hear any talk of a trilogy among junior bantamweights unless he is directly involved. The former 115-pound champion from Si Sa Ket, Thailand has long served as the mandatory challenger for WBC and lineal junior bantamweight king Juan Francisco Estrada (42-3, 28KOs). In lieu of enforcing such status, Sor Rungvisai stepped aside to allow Estrada to enter a long-awaited rematch in the form of a WBC/WBA title unification clash with Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez (50-3, 41KOs) which took place this past Saturday in Dallas, Texas.

Srisaket Sor Rungvisai is on the comeback trail. The former WBC 115lbs champion has won his last three and is coming off a comfortable win over Kwanthai Sithmorseng last Saturday. Kwanthai and Srisaket are both former world champions with bags of experience. But from the opening bell at Workpoint Studios in Bangkok it was abundantly clear that there would only be one winner.

Juan Francisco Estrada understands that he is obligated to fight Srisaket Sor Rungvisai next. Sor Rungvisai, the mandatory challenger for Estrada’s WBC super flyweight title, stepped aside to allow Estrada to fight Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez again Saturday night in Dallas.

Four division world champion Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez is very frustrated with the scorecards from last Saturday's fight against Juan Francisco "El Gallo" Estrada.

Eddie Hearn felt a bit guilty after watching greatness unfold before his very eyes Saturday night. Having paid Avni Yildirim more money than Juan Francisco Estrada for their disparate efforts in recent weeks didn’t sit quite right with the British promoter as he discussed Estrada’s admirable performance against Roman Gonzalez in their 115-pound title unification fight Saturday night at American Airlines Center in Dallas. Whereas Estrada earned every penny of his undisclosed purse, Hearn didn’t walk away from Yildirim’s mandated shot at Canelo Alvarez’s WBC super middleweight title with the same feeling February 27.

Roman Gonzalez believes he has already beaten Juan Francisco Estrada twice. Boxing’s former pound-for-pound king still would welcome a third fight against his Mexican rival. Gonzalez, more commonly known by his nickname, “Chocolatito,” might have to wait to encounter Estrada a third time because Estrada is supposed to make a mandatory defense of his WBC super flyweight title next against Srisaket Sor Rungvisai.

Juan Francisco Estrada-Roman Gonzalez II: Afterthoughts

•Mar 15, 2021

So little in life is reliable. In boxing, even the most exciting fights on paper can go wrong. Styles might not clash. Head clashes can send things home before the fourth round leaving us with no result. So far, the saga of the Hardcore Four bucks the trend. It’s reliable. It doesn’t disappoint. Sometimes it’s just pretty good. More often, it’s been great. On several occasions, it’s been timeless.

By Corey Erdman - When Juan Francisco Estrada and Roman Gonzalez fought for the first time in 2012, the boxing industry and the streaming media world were a whole lot different than they are today. That year, the Olympics streamed on YouTube for the first time, an upstart called Spotify was entering its second year, and for the first time, according to CNN, Americans paid to watch more movies online than they did on DVD.
