Chocolatito was supposed to be long in the tooth & get knocked out by Estrada. The robbery leaves him with a mere moral victory when in reality he should be unified champ in yet another weight division.

Great point about still being potentially undefeated. My immediate thoughts were that he should have the 1 knockout loss on his record, but Rungvisai never would have had the rematch opportunity if the first fight had the right decision.
While there was a wide card that decided it like this fight Gonzalez was busier and landed more that Cuadras. I can see the argument for the harder more effective punches in Cuadras' favor, but I don't see that one in the same light as Gonzalez-Rungvisai I or Gonzalez-Estrada II.
I honestly can't see much of a difference, I thought both fights 6-6 or 7-5 and in both fights a judge had it 117-111. In person Gonzalez didn't seem to really be landing significant punches, it was nearly shoe shining. Gonzalez is loved by the media though.

If you want to talk about who really won fights Cuadras clearly beat Gonzalez and got robbed.
Cuadras hit him a lot, especially late ... but 8-4 or 9-3 Gonzalez was reasonable https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/comments/527biz/gonzalezcuadras_punch_stats/
It was was a close fight, no way 9-3 for that fight was reasonable. That's why this feels like Karma.
