Just becuz dude is new on here it doesn't mean his opinion is any less valid. Boxing fans are so hateful. Dude just loss. Let's have some respect here. Chocolatito was already a p4p talent before casuals first watched him on HBO. Moving up a 4th weight class and winning a title there at 46-0 solidified his #1 status. I was shocked to see my bro
@Newzz on Twitter right after the fight shytting on Choco and saying he was never p4p1. He cited the move from 112 to 115 as not being enough to justify his decline.
So I'm only gonna say this once to all the ppl on here who never boxed or had to cut weight or add weight- weight classes matter. And if you're saying moving from 112 to 115 shouldn't matter, I have to question if you know shyt about boxing cuz first of all, when you're movin up, it's not the weigh in weight you're trying to adjust to, it's the in ring weight you have to adjust to. You're fighting guys who are bigger on fight night that guys you faced before. And last night Sor rehydrated to 127, and had a functional 7 lb weight advantage on Chocolatito.
But I don't think it was solely the bigger weight that affected him. I feel it was his age of 30 (which affects smaller fighter more than bigger ones), all the wars he's been in in the ring, and imo most notably the passing of his trainer. He's had 2 different trainers since that happened. I feel all those factors play a role in his demise. But obviously the biggest factor was Sor Rungvisai himself. Full credit to him must be given to him.
