Brian Viloria vs. Juan Francisco Estrada & Roman Martinez vs. Diego Magdaleno RBR

Round 3

Viloria is waiting on Estrada and exploding with counters that surprise Estrada with their increasing power and sharpness. Rights soar up over the top or lash out in body shovels from below, and the ever-present left hook keeps Estrada honest to a fault. Estrada is pulling his attacks somewhat, circling while mulling them over and then coming forward with a jab and partially following through on a right cross or body shot before aborting and scrambling out to regroup. Viloria's power is starting to really affect him.

10-9 Viloria

30-27 Viloria

 

"Viloria is in extreme condition"

- George Foreman

 

Estrada is once again giving an excellent account of himself, in what is shaping up to be another clear loss.

He is unfortunate to have p4p candidates blocking his way in both divisions; he is championship material in a weaker era. (or, this same era without a select few obstacles)

 

Round 4

Viloria is coming forward with the 1-2 and trying out the 1-2-3 with the left hook exploring far beyond his reach on tiptoes as Estrada jumps away. Estrada is keeping his gloves up and defending very responsibly with some continuous movement but Viloria's sharp accurate punches are finding the mark anyway. Estrada is landing counters but Viloria is flat out ignoring them.

10-9 Viloria

40-36 Viloria

 

:yikes

I suppose the first two were close. (but I still can't see them going the challenger's way)

3rd definitely Viloria's.

I can see the 4th for Estrada, more than anything.

 

He went through a case of Tsingtao before Vazquez vs. Ishimoto got underway.

 

Round 5

Viloria is blocking the two-piece hatchet combos of Estrada on his forearms and countering with left hooks and piston rights. Estrada is just barely missing with his shots coming forward. BIG 1-2 by Viloria, rocking Estrada badly with his legs turning into jelly momentarily. Viloria is tentative about finishing, wary of Estrada playing possum. Estrada recovers and starts jabbing nicely while moving around Viloria.

10-9 Viloria

50-45 Viloria
