Mr. Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez (46-1-0-38) fell prey to one Mr. Srisaket Sor Rungvisai A.K.A. Wisaksil Wangek (42-4-1-38) in what was a more costly tune-up even than bringing your Jaguar into the shop. The lighter fellas tend to age quickly as fruit flies... was this, that? There was an inkling thereof. See how Gonzalez's punches took a bit longer to return on their path inward from outward? I doth think they done did, gentlepersons. Too, his feet were set a tick wide. These factoids aided in allowing Runvisai to get in. Oft with his head. Then oft with a pawing mitt. Lettuce take nothing away from the Thai champ, humsoever, as he showed to be very fast and quick to plant feet. He also hath a style that looks to me like a person taking a basketball jump-shot with the incorrect foot forward. He's not pivoting per se, but twisty and showing an abundance of being quite ready to. On the opening stanza knock-down of Gonzalez, his back foot was actually the lead. A righty fighting southpaw, mayhaps? Interesting.
Also, he was a solid and natural weight division atop of Chocolatito -- something which practically no one seems speaking to. Gonzalez did work some very good to excellent angles, and also countered well, but alas, the judges got it right I feel. Rung's point deducted offset by the knock-down, and then up seven rounds to five. Again, on my meaningless scorecard. Included therein was a round twelve where he fully out-paced the former champ. My surprise is that a fight fought a la Rungvisai Saturday seldom gets rewarded by judges. Maybe that's a good thing.
All told, it was a violent fight even by pugilistic standards an 'unintentional' headbutt in the third opened up Gonzalez and his cut-man Mr. Miguel Diaz proved sadly unable to stop the proverbial crimson mask. Perhaps the old adage of judges scoring blood, won out. As two judges scored it 114-112 and the third 113 all, for a split decision crowning of a new WBC 115 pound crown-wearer.
What's next? Rungvisai is open for a rematch. Perhaps at 118 where both men would be closer to their natural weight. Who do I like? I like my doxie, Ruby Vondella. In a re-match, I like Gonzalez -- whom did not at all like his first taste of defeat. I also like him to retire shortly.
My silly card:
Rungvisai 10 10 09 09 09 08 10 10 10 10 10 09 = 114
Gonzalez 08 09 10 10 10 10 09 09 09 09 09 10 = 112
