As much as i like rungvisai-estrada i still prefer rungvisai to unify since ancajas next mandatory is mediocre and is the most available of the current top dogs
I don't think so ancajas team said that bob offered rungvisai 500k to fight ancajas but then rungvisai also got offered huge money by hearn.
Estrada was close to stopping SSR in the 12th round. If Estrada turns it up sooner, he will get SSR out of there.
Great news! Hoping to see another war between these two. Although I do think that Sor Rungvisai will find a way to win again in a close fight. He's a much smarter fighter than most people give him credit because of his come forward style that seems crude at first.
This. I thought he looked a bit off even vs Estrada. Reminded me of the way Roman Gonzales looked vs him. Or Matthysse vs Provodnikov. I felt like he didn't really want to be there. Looked like he just wanted the fight to be done with.
Damn, I was hoping for Rungvisai vs Jerwin and if Rungvisai wins, he'd move up to fight Inoue (after hopefully winning the WBSS). This quote got my attention at the end of last year: "I have been watching him fight and I think he’s a great boxer especially in terms of his style fighting backwards,” Rungvisai said of Ancajas whilst speaking with Inquirer.net. “If I really get to fight with him, I would definitely move forward and try to knock him out. I think that will be a great fight. My wish is that I would like to unify the [115 pound] division. If I really can do it, I want to clean up the division first, unify the whole thing and when it’s all done and if it really happens I would consider going up to the 118 pound division to fight Inoue.” Inoue vs Rungvisai is probably my top wish list
On paper, this sounds like a savage war and FOTY candidate... However, Rungvisai is slow as molasses and easy to hit. Inoue knocks him out in under 6 rounds.
