Main Event: Non-title fight (10 rounds)
Srisaket Sor Rungvisai: 114.7 vs. Kwanthai Sithmorseng: 114.9
Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, the former two-time WBC world champion at super flyweight (115 lbs), made the weight at 114.7 lbs for his 10 rounds non-title fight against the former WBA world champion Kwanthai Sithmorseng, who made the weight at 114.9 lbs. Even though this is the first time in almost 2 years that Sor Rungvisai makes the weight at 115 lbs limit, he looked sharp and ready at the weigh-in ceremony. His most recent fight at 115 lbs was in April 2019 when he lost his WBC world title to Juan Francisco Estrada by close UD. If he wins against Sithmorseng tomorrow, Sor Rungvisai will be in line to fight the winner of Juan Francisco Estrada and “Chocolatito” Roman Gonzalez, who will fight for WBC and WBA super flyweight world title unification this Saturday March 13th (USA Time) in Texas.

I doubt Chocolatito wants anything to do with Srisaket Sor Rungvisai…
It is so unusual these days they have to say it is a fight not for any title.
