Garcia is full of it, the first half of the fight was close in most of the rounds, with Viloria verely winning 4 out of 6, than the second half was also close with Estrada overwelming Viloria with speed and convinations. who told Garcia it was a slug fest? both guys are plenty fast and tecnical....not sluggers.

Yeah, that's the way I saw it too. Melindo though, better eat his 'Wheaties' on fight morning because Estrada will get stronger as the fight progresses.

I really like Estrada. He's one of my favorite young fighters. His combination punching and movement are really good and he's constantly improving. I haven't seen much of Melindo but I'm expecting Estrada to put on a good performance. Melindo may be tricky with his counter punching but Estrada has a good chin, work rate/stamina and heart. I'm expecting a great fight with back and forth exchanges.

I thought Estrada vs. Roman Gonzalez was a lot closer than the judges had it. That was one of my favorite fights from last year. Estrada seems to be a man on a mission since that fight.

Let's remember now, that this was the dude who kept telling Nonito that his Rigo fight was "close".. I think he's overrated..
