Srisaket Sor Rungvisai knocks down Roman Gonzalez during their fight

Thailand's Srisaket Sor Rungvisai knocked out Nicaraguan Roman Gonzalez in their rematch in the USA to retain his WBC super-flyweight title.

Srisaket won their fight in March by majority decision but floored Gonzalez twice on Saturday, finishing the bout with a right hook in round four.

"This fight I knew I was going to knock him out," said the 30-year-old.

On the undercard, Japan's Naoya Inoue knocked out American Antonio Nieves to defend his WBO super-flyweight crown.

Britain's Kal Yafai holds the super-flyweight WBA title and he will next fight on Saturday, 28 October against mandatory challenger Sho Ishida of Japan at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
