Juan Francisco Estrada; An Appreciation Thread.

Hear hear.

It's a prime example of how the lower weights are mostly ignored that, a guy as good as Estrada, having just prevailed in a quality fight, is applauded only by that small percentage of true fans.

Put him higher in the P4P rankings.

 

I first saw him against Brian Viloria and have been a fan ever since

It taking 8 years for the rematch with Gonzalez to be seriously discussed is criminal

That rematch should have happened years ago

 

Became a big fan of El Gallo ever since his close fight with Chocolatito. I knew he was gonna do big things even after losing to Gonzalez. It’s a shame that he’s not as popular as Canelo because of his weight class, he deserves more attention. He’s already a lock to the HOF.

Hoping the long awaited rematch with Chocolatito happens next year. He has so many great fight options ahead of him.

IMO I think he’s the best Mexican fighter since Juan Manuel Marquez. Beautiful stylist, excellent skills, and fun fighter to watch.

 

I never got this because it's not like these are defensive technicians where you need to study and maybe box yourself to get what they're doing. Anyone with a pulse can appreciate the entertainment proposition Gallo and Chocolatito are offering.

It seemed like his mechanics were a little off yesterday. For whatever reason I got the impression his elbow or shoulder was stiff or sore. Could also be his opponent was giving him problems too, can't write that off!

 

This deserves a bump. Say what you will about the results, it was still a close fight that could have gone either way. Estrada can really fight.

 

Hes a great fighter!

 

Another bump. The more I watch Gallo the more I see a mixture of Erik Morales and JMM in him. Blood and guts warrior, superb offensive technician, porous defense at times, and has that bad habit of fighting down to the level opponents but boy does he make for a highly entertaining fight. The guy will definitely go down as an ATG.

 

He's arguably the goat SFLW

 

Gallo is a damn warrior and a helluva fighter. Both Gallo and Chocolatito deserve massive respect for always giving the fans a show.

 

Both will go down as some of the greatest and exciting boxers of the 21st century.
