The Mexican boxer won a unanimous decision over Argi Cortes. Gallos Estrada said he was ready to face Chocolatito Gonzalez.
The Mexican boxer Juan Francisco Gallo Estrada prevailed by unanimous decision over his compatriot Argi Cortés , a victory with which he said he was ready to face the Nicaraguan Román Chocolatito González.
In an emotional fight at super flyweight, Estrada, 32, took ratings in favor of 115-112, 115-112, 114-113, thanks to his better performance in the second half.
In his return to the ring after almost a year and a half absence, Estrada needed to display all his tools to stop the impetuous Cortes, who disrespected the World Boxing Council franchise champion.
El Gallo took a slight advantage at the start, with good handling of the 'jab' and some impacts to the body of Argi, who in the third round rebelled with good combinations and a lacerating hook.
The best of Cortes was in the fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds in which he stole the initiative from the favorite and punished him, sometimes with the 1-2, others with precise hooks to the liver or with the 'jab.'
Estrada put an order in the seventh with a powerful right hand and a sharp left hook, with which he knocked down Cortes, who took more care of himself then.
Juan Francisco took advantage, but in the tenth round, Argi Cortés resurfaced and punished the favorite again, who defended well in the closing two rounds and, although he received blows, also punished to add his 43rd victory as a professional, 28 of them by knockout, with three defeats.
Cortes, who left a pleasant impression, suffered his third setback, with 23 fights won, ten before the limit.
Estrada will seek to fight Chocolatito, whom he beat last year after losing in 2012. If he beats the Nicaraguan, he will seek all the world titles in the super flyweight division in 2023, with the idea of later trying to reign in the bantamweight.
