HBO slated to televise all super-flyweight card, featuring Rungvisai-‘Chocolatito’ rematch

In a week in which UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson let loose a claim that Sean Shelby told him “smaller fighters don’t sell,” it appears as if HBO is going to have an event showcasing the world’s best 115 lbs boxers.

K2 Promotions’ Tom Loeffler told RingTV.com that Roman Gonzalez (46-1, 38 KOs) will have a rematch on Saturday, September 9th with Thailand’s Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (41-4-1, 38 KOs) for what is now Rungvisai’s WBC super-flyweight belt. The venue has yet to be finalized but it looks like it’s heading for Los Angeles, for “Chocolatito” has regularly featured over the past two years.
