Friday: Akira Yaegashi-Roman Gonzalez
Saturday: Juan Francisco Estrada-Giovani Segura; Kiko Martinez-Carl Frampton II
We lost a clash between the two best Heavyweights out there and still have these three stellar main events.
It doesn't get much more exciting than this.
Smile boxing fans. This is what it looks like when the sport is getting it right.
Showtime has some fights too. Maybe one or two of those will add even more to the mix.

You're right, whoever wins this, they will gain a massive win on their record. Kudos to you my friend, i couldn't tell that you knew much about these lower weight from your posting history. :)
Think the fans win too.
One day closer
He is already in the top 10 on most of the competent P4P lists. And he is a perfect example of why that designation means something, the guy is one of the best fighters in the world regardless of weight.
If Yaegashi can get past him it will be a huge feather in his cap. But I don't think he will.

This time around it would be a lot more interesting. Seeing as how Estrada won't need to drop 4 pounds. He even said it wasn't easy to do so for the first fight but since the opportunity came up, he took it. Now that he is an established fighter at a comfortable weight class, i think he would give Gonzalez a run for his money. That's if… they both get past their very difficult tests.
BTW 4 LBS make a world of difference at these weights. Especially when having to drop instead of moving up.
He gave Chocolatito a run for his money the last time they fought and he still lost. Should be a good fight regardless. I see both he and Estrada winning this weekend. I can't freaking wait!!!!!:boxing::boxing::boxing::boxing:
No doubt, hell I'd pay to see it as the main event.
Small weight classes don't fare to good on PPV's BUT if you put it as the semi-main fight than you can bump up the buys by a few thousand I would think.
If Gonzales wins this, theres no legit reason why he isnt a top P4P fighter (however much that means anymore). He has some really good wins

Man if Gonzalez beast Yaegashi and Estrada beats Segura, Chocolatito HAS fight Estrada again now at 112 and unify, Estrada is now a more seasoned champion and could very well be a smaller weight classic.

Slap that fight on an undercard of a big PPV fight. That would be freaking epic.
