We have Chocolatitovs. Sor Runvisai results, and it's not what you'd expect.
It's something of acomplete shock, as SrisaketSor Rungvisaiended the legend of Chocolatitowith a stiff right hook in Round 4.
Chocolatito looked completely lost in this fight unlike his first — which some considered a robbery — which went to the scorecards.
This one wouldn't get that far, with the fight ending in Round 4 courtesy of a Sor Rungvisairight hand.
What's next for Chocolatito? Who knows?
But if I had to fathom a guess, we saw Chocolatitomelted tonight.
The penultimate stop before the true fight of the year next Saturday —Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin— was completely entertaining, shocking and all that in between.
Here's how it shook out.
All times Eastern.
