Lol I thought you'd still be curled up in bed, hoping it wasn't real. Honestly both guys have to step up the competition, especially roman, Fuentes and the masa roller he just fought are unacceptable. However, Sosa>all of estradas opponents lol.

And lol@the bolded I had to look that up.

Bro, Sosa> Estrada's resume? Are you serious? Sosa is a 35 year old veteran on his last leg, perhaps 3 or 4 years ago maybe but even then it would be debatable.

Viloria alone >>> Sosa at this stage in their careers. Please bro, please open your eyes before it's too late

Lol I'm trying here. I just looked up who sosa last fought and it was in Haiti HAITI! I honestly don't understand why he keeps fighting guys well past it or guys like Leon.

Don't get me wrong, Sosa was a good little fighter once upon a time, however that time has shriveled away and at this point he'll just be a good looking name on Roman's resume.

It still blows my mind that Roman is the Rings number 4 pound for pound fighter and he is fighting against the bottom of the barrel type of fighters. Sure, Alvarez and Asenjo are not great names or what not but neither fighter had horrible resumes nor where they anywhere near the end of their careers.

Tell me, what was Roman's last good win aside from Akira Yaegashi? Look past the cans at 112 and look at his resume at 108. Estrada? Rodriguez Jr.? At this point in time neither fighter was established and although they both went on to become unified champions in different weight divisions, they had zero accomplishments when they met with Roman.

It sure as hell wasn't Chango Vargas, Hirales or Rosas 2. If anything I would say it was Takayama and that was way back in 09. It's interesting to see that this trend isn't new.

What if Joebert Alvarez or Milan Melindo manage to become champions at some point in time? With Melindo squaring off against Mendoza soon that could very well be the case in the near future... Does that enhance Estrada's resume since he fought them as undefeated contenders? Perhaps, but not by catastrophic levels that would catapult him to the PFP top 5. In fact, I wouldn't put too much weight into it since Milan had zero accomplishments leading into their fight aside from being a talented, undefeated fighter.

So sure, Estrada may not be fighting top opposition at the moment, but you can't deny the fact that he has faced superior opposition in the past several years

Just some food for thought.

You're right not sure what the hell they're doing with him but his competition hasn't been stellar. I feel like either he or his management aren't interested in fighting higher caliber guys unless there's lots of money involved . until then they're fine with fighting guys that aren't even in the top 10. It's a shame because there is tons of good guys all within 6 pounds and none of them are fighting each other.
