Rungvisai vs. Gonzalez II: Who's watching?

[MightyWarrior]

Pretty horrible to watch that, Gonzales backers let him down badly, madness taking this rematch, he tried fricking everything in the first fight, and got a horrible battering, too small at this weight division and the other guy clearly too big too strong. He was never going to win that.

Turned on the TV for the first all Mexican fight and of course FIRST THING I hear is Adam Smith referencing Morales Barrera. What a pinheaded moron he is

Adam Smith is so annoying

Jeebus, what a bellend. In Smith's brain there seem to have only been 3 fights ever worth mentioning.

[handsofstone]

WOW never seen that coming at all although as soon as the 1st bell rung I had a feeling Rungvisai was right up for it, I thought he was lucky to get the win in the 1st fight but he made no mistake this time, right hooks doing the damage, Gonzalez never recovered from the 1st knockdown and it was a bit sad to see him taking out like that, it was hotting up to be a great fight until Rungvisai nailed him


Sor Rungvisai vs Inoue unification would go down a treat

Fucksake it's like he's parodying himself with this 'BARRERA-MORALES!!!' shite

Maybe Smith reads the forum and is just trolling us all for the lols

Horrible to watch Roman like that. Especially seeing his wife the way she was.

I've only followed him since he won the flyweight world title but he has been a great servant to the game. It's just got to him in the end. I hope he packs it up or has a fair well fight in Nicaragua.

As for Srisaket bring in that Estrada fight. Gallo is mandatory.

Fair play to him if he is, it'd be not unlike the Froch '80,000 at Wembley thing', rather more chutzpah than I gave him credit for and not undeserved given the abuse we give him on here

Alternatively he's a completely glib, heedless, cliche-spouting cockwomble

Estrada was excellent last night, I was very surprised to hear the judges/American broadcasters had it so close.

At least the cameras didn't stay focused on her emotional distress for an uncomfortable amount of time. Oh wait...

[Oiky]

Bad do for Gonzalez

Brutal KO

[lefty]

That was pretty much exactly how I described it...I could tell he wasn't feeling it after the 1st round. He'll probably return to Flyweight if he really said those things in the Press Conference about just not being able to handle these guys at 115, but I doubt he'll ever get back to being the Champion he was.

Yeah, the weight clearly told in the first fight imo, Rungvisai seems to take Gonzalez best all night and just kept chugging forward.

Do you think dropping back down would do him any favours at this stage of his career?

Probably not, but I mean he just recently became a big name in the sport and started making decent money so I'd say it's worth at least one more shot, and at least a guy like Nietes is up there in years as well.

I imagine his earnings from HBO will be taking a big hit after that. Not sure how long his contract is though.

No doubt, but they might not abandon ship completely just yet...I mean it wouldn't surprise me if they did, but I think there'd still be an interest in seeing him return to Flyweight. I'd certainly be interested in it.

I'd rather he pack it in. The last couple of fights took a lot out of him and I think the weight making was difficult.

Think it was Jamie Conlan saying how bad he was at the weight for the first Sor Rungvisai fight.


I don't think he can do flyweight again.

Estrada is excellent, he's a great all rounder who can box and pressure and he can take a punch, I fancied him to beat Cuadras and I think he beats Rungvisai, and at the very least gives Inoue hell.

I don't think he has a contract but there is no reason why his earnings would suffer.

I was actually a bit disappointed with his performance and surprised that a lot of people gave him so much credit over the first 5. For me, he took a long time to heat up and was down 4-1 going into the 6th; he had the look of a dangerous technician, but he just wasn't pulling the trigger and wasn't yet landing with the hurtful impact seen later in the fight. I think 114-113/115-112 were the right scores.

[crusader]

inoue ultra-talented offensively but can be lazy defensively...id love to see it

he was in with a survival mode opponent tonight and didn't show all his tools

Style wise I think Estrada is the man with the best shot to beat Inoue. I wouldn't fancy Sor's aggression taking him into the fire of someone who punches like Inoue does.

Agree, although I'd much rather see Inoue-Sor. Bombs away!

I think Sor is quite beatable and it wouldn't really shock me if he went 0-3 against Estrada, Cuadras, and Inoue. Very tough fighter, but I think he caught Chocalitito at the right time and had the right style to make the size difference count.

Yeh, in terms of selling out a reduced or small arena, he is about on the same level as Lomachenko. Lomachenko has been selling 2,000 or more lately 3,000 on his own his last few fights that he has headlined. Similar to what Gonzalez vs. Cuadras

Dreadful that was I thought. Keep the camera on the winner at least.

Watching this again Adam Smith said Rungvisai used to walk 60 miles to work.

SIXTY
