A victory to win the WBC Jr. Bantamweight crown for Sor Rungvisai, who is also known as Wisaksil Wangek, that was seen as controversial by some over Gonzalez, who is regarded as one of the best fighters in the world.

It was perhaps the champion’s second title defense however, that may have caused some doubts regarding Sor ...
