Estrada still boxing well, Salas still relentless, then walks into another left hook to the body which puts him own on a knee again. That was a weird one, it looked like a grazing smack to his underarm. I guess Salas has glass underarms.

Yeah, not bad! Although some of the suspense was lost, knowing about the knockdowns and that he survived ahead of time. The official scorecards were **** too, while I wouldn't call it a robbery, it's pretty ****ing close to one.
