Rungvisai: I knew I was going to KO Gonzalez

By Daily Sports on September 11, 2017

Srisaket Sor Rungvisai says he knew he was going to knockout Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez in their last Saturday night rematch at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Rungvisai, 30, made easy work of Gonzalez, knocking him out in the 4th round in one of the easier fights of his career.

Gonzalez offered up almost no offense before getting knocked down twice in the 4th. It wasn’t a fight. It was a rout. Gonzalez was overmatched in this fight and he had no business being inside the ring with the taller, stronger and more active Rungvisai.

Rungvisai feels he can beat anyone in the super flyweight division, and he may be right. He retained his WBC 115 lb. title in beating Gonzalez for the second time, and he also showed a lot of people in the boxing world that his earlier win over the Nicaraguan fighter was no fluke.

Rungvisai defeated Gonzalez by a 12 round majority decision on March 18 of this year on HBO PPV on the undercard of the Gennady “GGG” Golovkin vs. Danny Jacobs card at Madison Square Garden in New York.

There were a lot of complaints from the boxing fans that Rungvisai didn’t deserve the victory. But the judges saw the way that Gonzalez’s body was being moved from the impact of Rungvisai’s big punches in the first fight, and they felt that he had landed the heavier and cleaner shots.

Moreover, Rungvisai had knocked Gonzalez down in round 1 of that fight. ”I knew I was going to knock him out,” said Rungvisai.

“I am very proud of my performance; I hope I inspired all Thais that we are as good as any other people in the world. I have showed the world that I am number one at 115 pounds. I think the way I fought today should eliminate all doubt that anyone has [after his controversial first victory over Gonzalez].”
