Former junior bantamweight champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai got in some pretty light work in Thailand, stopping Kwanthai Sithmorseng after three rounds of one-sided action, setting himself up to likely face the winner of Saturday night’s Estrada-Chocolatito 2 fight later this year.
Rungvisai (50-5-1, 43 KO) didn’t seem to be putting in much serious effort here, and even the commentary noted that he wasn’t throwing much at even 50 percent power. It felt, in all honesty, like the “hard sparring” we heard all about from the California commission last fall before Tyson-Jones; this wasn’t an exhibition, mind you, but it didn’t feel much like Sithmorseng (50-8-1, 27 KO) was legitimately trying to win, either. He did throw back, but Rungvisai just kept the hands moving and overwhelmed everything.
