Comments Thread For: Estrada: Roman Gonzalez Not The Big Deal Being Hyped

[IMDAZED]

Half the people speaking on this topic have seen Estrada fight once at most and Gonzalez twice at most.

When is HBO gonna get Estrada on? It's time for them to begin building the rematch.

Yep! Good olympic background and tough for anyone. Some say he won that fight vs Ruenroeng and he did knock him down. That being said, I would like Roman to fight Ruenroeng next.

You obviously didn't watch their fight you nitwit. Estrada was throwing beautiful combos on that blockhead. Rocking that blockhead all around the arena.

Estrada was drained. His Power and stamina in that fight was very límited.

That was the difference in that fight.

I agree with the 2nd quote. That fight could have gone either way in the judging. IMO Estrada threw the best shots but Gonzalez was the one on the offensive the whole fight, he sent Estrada to the ropes a number of times only to get countered in furious exchanges. Almost every time there was an exchange, it was Estrada the one who did better. But he never pushed the action and he was punished for that I guess. It should have been a split decision either way or a draw, not the ridiculous unanimous decision that Gonzalez didn't deserve. Which makes me wonder why didn't that same thing happen with Mayweather in his 1st Castillo fight, as well as the one with De La Hoya and both fights with Maidana (in which he was credited for lots of missed punches, easily half or more of what Compubox gave him). He never ever was on the offensive. He is the one who clinched, pushed and did any trick available to stop his opponent, without any punishment from the referee and judges as usual. And of course that happened as well vs. Manny. The Compubox stats are a sham. Pacquiao was so fast in that fight that only in very slow motion can one realize that he wasn't credited for about half the punches he actually connected (which rocked Floyd real bad BTW, snapping his face back several times) and most of all, one can see how incredibly obviously Floyd missed half or more of the punches he was credited for, because either Manny dodged them or blocked them with his gloves. Also Manny was the one pushing the action except in the last two rounds where he was tired of chasing his cowardly opponent and sort of gave up, which obviously influenced the judges against him even more.

Bottom line if they are calling chocolatito P4P, then

In a 2nd fight at a weight both guys are comfortable with, we will see the reality. To me it is very difficult to predict who would win now simply because the two of them have looked great in their last fights. But at this point I feel that Estrada is stronger than Chocolatito, both in chin and power.

That fight should be made ASAP. None of them should fight anyone else, that would be a waste of time IMO, because none has any real opposition other than the other one at this point.

Perfect post, man.
