I'd like to see Estrada vs Franco now

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Cuadras looked good in the Estrada in my opinion,likely would have been a draw if he wasn't dropped late.

I would bet on Bam to beat Estrada, Estrada is a bit overrated and never seemed to be this dominant technical wizard many make him out to be. Whenever he fought top competition he ends up narrowly winning or narrowly winning.

I thought he looked like a fighter who’d gone to the well once to often tbh. The Estrada fight felt like the type of loss that takes something out of you, you might not get back. I’ve been a Cuadras fan for years but I hope he retires now tbh. I don’t really see a route back to the top for him in a super competitive division in 115.

I rate Estrada very highly tbh man, reminds me of a smaller JMM. I’m a massive Chocolatito fan but I really appreciate Estrada’s ability too. Very good technician. With all the injuries, hand problems, inactivity, he’ll probably begin showing signs of decline as well now though.

I actually reread your original post and hadn't noticed you were speaking of of the older Franco, I would actually favor Estrada in that match up but as you pointed out his a little worn (both from injuries and tough fights) and Franco is well schooled.

Should be an interesting fight either way.
