He recalled that he first fought Gonzalez when he was 22 years old, “at that time a closed aunt died and that affected me very much, and I had a hard time trying to make the weight. It was a great fight though.

Then came the time to fight Brian Viloria, a fight that many thought to be difficult for Estrada, however, the mexican won the fight and the WBA belt, and defended it last July against Milan Melindo.

“Before that fight he had a problem with a molar, and the dentist said he had to extract it and he could not fight. But I told him, no, and during the fight the molar came out”, he said amused.

He has plans for end of March, so “upon returning to México we will begin sparring.”

He does not have the name of his next opponent yet, but he knows who he would like to fight in the near future. “Besides ‘Chocolatico’, he wants to fight Akira Yaegashi, W.B.C. champion”.
