Ooh, fucken nice. What's your thoughts on the Estrada fight? I like him to ultimately pressure-box his way to a win but I think that is very close to 50/50?
I take Gonzalez to do the job this time. He was wild, early, uncharacteristically so, and missed a lot of punches, possibly just trying to match the Thais early output. Cleaner and more clinical early I think he could win a 116-112 type score
I thought Roman won the first fight, I'd expect him to up that performance unless that war took a really big toll.
I like Estrada slightly, but that's a hell of a fight. Cuadras is strong, Estrada hasn't really done much in a couple years. 50/50 sounds right to me.
Inoue will do a job on Nieves, p4p threads will follow.
Roman could also have taken too much damage in 2 last fights against bigger opponents. He could get stopped this time.
