LOL! Moonsri is tremendously fast. Estrada is tremendously inept. I lost track of the knockdowns.
Estrada was brave and did a reasonable fight just because his southpaw stance. Once the Thai figured out how to overcome this disadvantage he overwhelmed Estrada with a relentless attack connecting punches that carried out very good power .
