The Mexican defeated by split decision to the Central American after 12 intense rounds and is monarch Supermosca of the CMB and AMB
DALLAS – The Mexican Juan Francisco “Gall” Estrada he took the best part of a real battle up the quadrangle, from which he came down with the Super Fly championships of the World Boxing Council and the World Association.
Estrada defeated the Nicaraguan by split decision Roman “Chocolatito” González in the stellar fight of the evening of boxing in the center of Dallas, Texas to add to its championship of the CMB, the one of the AMB.
The judges saw Estrada win 115-113 and 117-111, while another saw González win 115-113 in the second edition of his first mutual fight, which was worth the wait for almost nine years.
However, it is very likely that the real winner has been boxing in general, with one of the brightest and most explosive fights of recent times between two true world champions.
“Chocolatito is a great boxer and he came to really fight,” Estrada said. “I knew I had to attack non-stop because I was facing a real champion. I think he takes control more clearly from the tenth round.”
Estrada (42-3-0) came out as literal as “rooster”, with the initiative and forcefulness against “Chocolatito” (50-3-0), which took to start his attack, perhaps waiting of measuring the beating of his rival, who was at a more natural weight.
But just in the middle of the second round, both boxers let go with all the aggressiveness and precision for the rest of the fight, to the delight of about 4,000 fans who paid a ticket to the boxing function of the American Airlines Center, in Dallas.
“I think I did a good job and the fight was very close,” Gonzalez said. “I think that fight was a lot better than the first one.”
The third roll was no different. Estrada and González attacked with their best repertoire repeatedly and alternating the attack, with good combinations, waist movements and determination, when the public was already standing since then.
This was a battle of “big leagues”, both of which gave respite and it seemed that the Nicaraguan Gonzalez seized the lawsuit in the fourth round, when the Mexican Estrada responded to the height.
In the sixth round, “Chocolatito” González and half more his blows for accuracy than for quantity and managed to connect from the right, shooting from the left in the face of Estrada, who suffered to hit their combinations, in front the defensive speed of the rival.
Neither fighter kept anything. They kept throwing punches towards the second half of the fight everywhere. The seventh was for Estrada, who hit well in the face on Gonzalez, who had scored in at least two of the previous rounds.
While “Gall” Estrada got his biggest damage with hooks in the soft areas, González hit his face, in smaller amounts but with power. A scuffle fight, which by now could go for either.
For the last quarter of the fight, the Mexican took advantage of a very close fight, with his incessant attack up and down, without lowering the speed, nor by far the rate, against the Nicaraguan, who seemed to suffer more to defend himself and decipher the enemy guard.
They both closed the last episode as they began, throwing their entire arsenal, in the epilogue of a real battle over the rope.
One of the best 12 rounds ever seen in good weather, never stopping until the last bell rang.
“I have to make a mandatory defense, but after today’s fight, I’m willing to give revenge to‘ Chocolatito ’whenever it is,” Estrada said.
