Juan Estrada is ready to storm into the ring to rematch his old opponent, Roman Gonzalez. The duo will compete for the unified super-flyweight title. The two competed back in 2012 and have improved significantly after that. Back when they fought in the light flyweight contest, Gonzalez defeated Estrada with a unanimous decision.

In a recent interaction with Matchroom Boxing, Juan Estrada detailed why he lost the first battle to ‘Chocolatito’.

He said, “Actually, like I’ve said, a lot of people saw me winning that fight. But really he was the champion, he was the star at the time, he was number one pound for pound. And an unknown fighter couldn’t come to take that away. I would have had to knock him out to win. But after that fight, we still became world champions.”

Even in their first contest, the duo traded substantial punches. The judges scored 118, 116, 116 in favor of the Nicaragua fighter. With this win, Gonzalez bagged the WBA light-flyweight title.

Despite ending up on the losing vertical, Estrada gave Gonzalez a tough fight. But ever since then, the duo has massively improved, changed their weight classes, and Estrada is hungry to convert a tough fight into a win.
