Prediction,

I'm very glad this fight is happening, I, like most, was gutted when the very popular, likeable Roman Gonzalez lost a fight which very few thought he would come close to losing. I think Rungvisai deserves a massive amount of credit for his fantastic win, he did Thailand proud, and to his credit, he hasn't tried to quit while he's ahead, he hasn't tried to avoid the rematch, he can't be denied respect.

The first fight was sensational, they both went all out, so many punches thrown, so many punches landed, a lot of blood, a lot trench fighting, just a great, action packed fight which the fans all loved. It is interesting to look back on, not always, but sometimes, often, Gonzalez would out land Rungvisai, whilst Rungvisai migut land with the heavier punches, push Gonzalez back, a lot of the rounds were close, and they both won a couple of rounds decisively, so in the end, the fight could have gone a couple of points either way, the decision was fine, it was good to see a majority decision because it was a very close fight, I personally, scored the fight 7 rounds to 5, in favour of Gonzalez, but which of the two who really edged the fight, is a matter of opinion. It will be interesting to see who makes the wiser adjustments for this awesome rematch, because I believe that is what the winner will depend on in the end.

I believe one of Roman Gonzalez's biggest problems against Rungvisai back in March, was his lack of defence, I believe his own fan friendly, positive style, combined with the fitness, underestimated skill, and devastating power of Rungvisai was very bad for Gonzalez. Gonzalez can walk through walls, in so many fights, he has walked through most of his opponents, showing skill, power, he can box, and fight, and taking punches hasn't really been a problem, but there is always a downside to this, and offensive skill and power, these attributes don't solve the problem, there are historic greats in this sport, like Mike Tyson for example, who are not only dangerous, but skilled with their work on the offensive, but when it comes to needing to retreat, needing to defend themselves from offence on the other side, they struggle, and when you have a puncher like Rungvisai, who is also a proud fighting tough guy, a great, dedictaed athlete who wanted to win, badly enough to beat the best, skilled, experienced, and of course, extremely dangerous, you are unwise to walk forward and rely on power, offensive skill, work rate without focusing much in defence.

Considering how good Rungvisai is, I think Gonzalez did exceptionally well, his engine is phenomenal, he was there all night, I believe he did enough to keep his titles and unbeaten record, he showed guts, stamina, everything that makes a great boxer and a warrior, so no matter what happens, Gonzalez can be proud of not only his whole boxing career but also how impressive he was even in defeat.

I believe Roman Gonzalez will win this fight, I believe he is better than Rungvisai, I think great champions like Gonzalez, they adjust, they learn, they push themselves to go the extra mile and build on their last performance, and I believe that Roman Gonzalez will make the better adjustments, train perfectly, and we will see a better Choclatito than last time. Rungvisai, physically, just like last time, he'll be there for 12 rounds, he'll be in great shape, strong, dangerous, technically, tactically, I'm looking forward to seeing how he has prepared, I believe he will be a technically improved boxer from the first time, but I just don't believe he made as many mistakes as Gonzalez, I don't think he has the level of talent, greatness as Gonzalez, and I think in the rematch, Rungvisai will do himself and his country proud again, but Gonzalez will just simply be too good.

I hope that people can appreciate Rungvisai as a great fighter, and a high achiever in this sport, I believe there are lot of bias people who don't give him credit he deserves, and that is a shame, I do think Rungvisai will become more popular after this fight, I think he'll be more well liked in defeat than he was in victory.

I think we will see a decisive victory for Roman Gonzalez, I think it will be a wide unanimous decision victory for him (116-112, 116-112, 117-111), I think his face will be a mess again, he'll take his knocks, when Rungvisai wins rounds, he will look great in doing it, it will be clear case of Gonzalez good and not Rungvisai bad, it will be another very competitive fight, a hard fight victory for Gonzalez, maybe less difficult than the defeat, and about as difficult as the wins over Cuadras, Estrada.

I think Roman Gonzalez will be considered a possible candidiate for the number one pound for pound position after this victory, he has had a long career, he hasn't been and still isn't as well known and respected as he should be around the world, if he isn't a household name, he should be. There are big fights out there for Roman Gonzalez, not a great deal, but there are some, Guillermo Rigondeaux is an example, that would be an extremely popular fight, and rightly so, obviously, the weight would be something which have to be well handled, because Roman Gonzalez is a 115 lb fighter, and not a large one, whilst Rigondeaux is a 122 lb fighter, and has been for a long time, but if Rigondeaux could make 118 lbs, and make it well, then maybe, just maybe, there could be a great fight there, but with or without Rigondeaux, Gonzalez can still be involved in great fights, and continue the winning ways which I think he will resume when he beats Rungvisai

Devastated!!
Roman Gonzalez will always be a boxing legend!
I think Gonzalez should retire now, he has taken some fearful beatings in there, and I didn't like that finish, it was terrible to watch that last knockdown.

What a performance from Rungvisai!! The warrior from Thailand must be taken seriously now, and shown the respect he deserves, he won the first fight fair and square, and he won this one in a brutal way! You had to have been extremely impressed by Rungvisai in this fight!
