Estrada tired
Estrada just got tired the last 2 or 3 rounds, maybe because of the body shots he had been taking. He kept hanging out in what Teddy Atlas called "no man's land", on the outside but not far enough outside to stay away from Cintron's jab and right hand. Earlier in the fight he was moving inside much better and I had the fight about even after 7 rounds. Cintron's conditioning held up well and he slowed Estrada down with right hands to Estrada's body.
Listening to the post-fight interview though, I had a sense that Cintron confuses easily and that he needs constant guidance. In spite of his strength and almost ideal body type for boxing, I wouldn't pick him against Mayweather or Margarito in a rematch. He was the better man tonight though!
