I think I'd make Juan Francisco Estrada the "fighter of the weekend"

    I guess the question I'd ask myself is whether Estrada could have handled the version of Yaegashi any better than Roman did, based on the way he performed against Segura (and vice versa).

    I suspect that Gonzalez-Segura might be just as one-sided, and end perhaps a bit sooner. Estrada-Yaegashi, I suspect, might not produced quite as definitive an ending as Gonzalez-Yaegashi did.

    It's all speculation, and it's really tough to choose between the two, but based on that alone, I'd have Gonzalez just shading this category.

    While between Gonzalez and Segura, I think Gonzalez was more impressive. I feel Segura just doesn't have much to win if he doesn't have a size and strength advantage.

    Estrada won every round, then stopped Segura. It was an outclassing and a beatdown. Gonzalez was just superb against Yaegashi though, he probably nicked my attention ahead of JuanFran.

    I think I was just happy to see Gonzalez in a fight of real meaning once again.

    Gonzalez because I think Estrada beat a clearly shopworn version of Segura, while Roman beat a still dangerous version of Yaegashi

    Nah. Segura looked cooked from the onset.

    It was definitely Roman's weekend.
