Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez (46-1, 38 KOs) will be attempting to avenge his loss to WBC Super flyweight champion Srisakt Sor Rungvisai (43-4-1, 39 KOs) in less than 3 months from now on September 9 on HBO Boxing After Dark from a still to be determined venue in California. The Rungvisai-Gonzalez 2 fight comes just one week before the huge fight between IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez on September 16 on HBO PPV. It’s unclear how much the Rungvisai vs. Gonzalez fight winds up hurting the Canelo-Golovkin fight promotions. It’s obviously not coming at a good time for the Canelo vs. Golovkin fight. Some of the boxing fans that would be focused on the Canelo vs. Golovkin fight will be talking up the Rungvisai vs. “Chocolatito” rematch. Golovkin vs. Canelo is already dealing with the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor fight undercutting it with that fight being staged on August 26. The last thing Canelo and Golovkin needs is to have Rungvisai vs. Gonzalez taking place one week before their big fight on HBO. It would have been better if Rungvisai and “Chocolatito” had been added to the Canelo-Golovkin card as the co-feature bout. That would have helped make the fight card bigger and it would give less competition to the promotion of the card. read more http://www.boxingnews24.com/2017/06/roman-gonzalez-faces-srisaket-sor-rungvisai-sep-9/
