After eight years and four months since their first fight, Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez and Juan Francisco “El Gallo” Estrada will meet this Saturday, March 13 in Dallas, Texas, in one of the most anticipated fights of the past decade and definitely a candidate for fight of the year this 2021.
Much has been said about this laureate rematch, and on this case the data or numbers give us an overview of both fighters’ journey to become the figures they are today. In world championship fights, “El Gallo” Estrada has a record of 11 fights, 9 wins (6 KOs), and 2 losses, while Roman has 20 title fights, with a record of 18 wins (11 KOs), and 2 losses.
When it comes to championship rounds, Roman has 158 over Estrada’s 113 rounds. As an important note, none of the 20 Mexicans who have fought the Nicaraguan have been able to defeat him, but Estrada with all his arsenal will have the chance to change history and stop the Aztecs’ executioner.
As for common opponents, ‘Gallo’ and ‘Chocolatito’ have three rivals: Thailand’s Wisaksil Wangek, Mexico’s Carlos Cuadras and Hawaii’s Brian Viloria.
Another important point that can make the difference is age, Gonzalez (33) is three years older than Estrada (30), and in any case the experience makes up for the extra years.
