Juan Francisco Estrada Romero vs. Jesse James Rodríguez Franco & Sunny Edwards vs. Adrien Curiel RBR

He looked bad in my opinion yeah. His footwork and speed are gone, probably a combo of age and inactivity.

I got my hopes up too much for this fight I was praying for a classic and a 7-5 8-4 type decision either way since I like both but I was rooting for Gallo.

Great performance from Rodriguez he's definitely a new star in the making this was a real passing of the torch moment from a former great to potentially a new great in the making.

Two things annoyed me about this fight the commentators kept saying Estrada was bigger are they blind ? two of the judges scorecards were a disgrace.

Estrada was one of my favourite fighters so it's sad to him lose i think the tough battles, age, inactivity, have finally caught up to him. But Rodriguez looks like a fantastic fighter so no shame in losing to him i'm also excited to see what the future holds for Rodriguez.

 

The first 3 rounds reminded me of those points you made, age and layoff. Bam was sharp but Estrada looked worse than I expected but it shouldn't detract from what Ban did.
