for those who didnt watch the fight earlier 2day estrada was outgunned and knocked out in the 8th! Soto-Karass stops Estrada! By Andreas Hale at ringside It was an interesting welterweight clash that pitted fighters from both the Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito camps against each other on Friday night at the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel in Las Vegas. WBC #7, WBO #8 welterweight Jesus Soto-Karass (21-3-3, 15 KOs), trained by Javier Capetillo and managed by Francisco Espinoza (same as Margarito), scored an eighth round TKO over WBC #9 ranked David Estrada (22-5, 13 KOs), who is trained by Evangelista Cotto (trainer and uncle of Cotto). Soto-Karass dropped Estrada in round eight and although Estrada beat the count, the bout was waved off by referee Tony Weeks at 1:03 of the round. Unbeaten super featherweight Brandon Rios (18-0, 11 KOs) demolished former Johnny Tapia-conqueror Sandro Marcos (29-19-2, 24 KOs). Rios dropped Marcos in round one and then three times in round two before the bout was stopped at the 2:13 mark.
