Official highlights
Very nice fight but displaying a wrong result. Cuadras, in spite of being knocked down in the 9th round in my opinion won the fight 115-112. He was technically better displaying a very good jab and a solid left hook during the whole fight. I saw Estrada just being successful in only 4 rounds because Cuadras was very elusive but by knocking him down it may be was enough to provide the impression to all those judges that he won the fight. Anyhow I fully admit that the fight was very close.
Disagree tango as I had Estrada up by 3.
One of those 3 I marked as a possible even round. Cuadras was the busier fighter but wasn’t landing cleanly if landing.
So we can definitely tell it was a close fight.
Also that niether should fight Inoue.
Caudras could probably beat Rungvisai again.
Both could avenge losses with a win if they were to fight,
No10Count: We agree on disagree over the result of this fight. The only thing positive Estrada did is getting the know down which caused a favorable impression to all the judges.
