[Boxing- USA] 13.3/ 23:00 J.F Estrada - Roman Gonzalez
It’s good to have good fights back on the schedule. It feels like forever ago that Chocolatito was reigning as pound-for-pound king, only to be stomped into the ground by Srisaket Sor Rungvisai a few years ago. Of course Chocolatito would also lose his longtime trainer, which obviously affected him, but my biggest concern about him now is age and attrition. Gonzalez has had a really good career but I can’t help but think that although he’s still very skilled, he’s a diminished version of himself. There’s something to be said about getting long in the tooth, and I think Chocolatito is in that category.
None of that is to say that Chocolatito isn’t still capable of beating plenty of good fighters, but in this particular fight I just think Gonzalez will have the edge in a fight that should feature plenty of action. But as the rounds and punishment wears on both fighters, I think Estrada will be better suited to tough it out down the stretch. I’ll take Estrada to win by decision.
