Juan Francisco Estrada set to return in October in a new, stacked, weight division

Things just got a little more interesting in the super flyweight division. Double belt-holder Juan Francisco Estrada (33-2, 24 KOs) vacated his WBA and WBO titles this week ahead of his move up in weight to 115 pounds.

"It is official, both titles have been vacated, said Estradas promoter, Fernando Beltran to ESPN Mexico. The idea is for Estrada to fight on October the 8th and again in December. We hope that the WBC will then give us the opportunity to face Carlos Cuadras in a title eliminator, and then go after a fight against Chocolatito Gonzalez.

Good move for Estrada? Has he done everything he can int he Flyweight division to move up? Are there fights he can win at 115?

could be a real force at superfly which is becoming a really interesting division, is Tete still at 115 ?

115lbs is probably the deepest in the sport right now in regards to guys at the top (Inoue, Gonzalez, Estrada, Cuadras, Concepcion, Srisaket, Tete, Ancajas, Kono) and the move up by Estrada AND Gonzalez is going to leave a mad dash for belts at 112lbs...good move for the sport
