“EL GALLO” ESTRADA STOPS “PRINCIPE” CUADRAS IN FIGHT OF THE YEAR

CHOCOLATITO ALSO NOTCHES A WIN TO SET UP REMATCH WITH EL GALLO

WBC Super Flyweight Champion Juan Francisco “El Gallo” Estrada and Carlos “El Principe” Cuadras fought tooth and nail for eleven rounds Friday night in Mexico City for El Gallo’s WBC title.

El Gallo would ultimately win by TKO in round eleven to retain his title, but not before engaging in fight of the year with El Principe Cuadras.

Both fighters fought at a high technical level and both fighters came to fight, leaving everything in the ring while giving the boxing fans watching on DAZN and TV Azteca their money’s worth.

Both fighters also had to display tremendous heart throughout the entire eleven rounds as they traded hard punches for the entire eleven rounds contested.

And although this gives El Gallo his second win over Cuadras, the fight was competitive until the end and it just as easily could have been Cuadras having his hand raised at the end if his conditioning had been a little bit better.

Props goes to both Estrada and Cuadras for not only agreeing to face each other a second time, but also for giving the fans a great, throwback type fight with all the best things about boxing(technique, skill, strategy, ambition, determination, heart, sportsmanship) on display, and none of the bad things (poor sportsmanship, constant clinching, reluctance to engage).

Chocolatito also got a win by outclassing a young challenger, to set up a unification rematch against El Gallo for early 2021.

TEOFIMO LOPEZ DOMINATES THE MATRIX AND TAKES OVER BOXING’S #1 POUND FOR POUND SPOT

On Saturday night October 17, 2020, “The Takeover” was initiated as Teofimo Lopez soundly beat Lomachenko by unanimous decision, becoming the undisputed lightweight champion and boxing’s #1 pound for pound fighter.

Before Saturday night’s fight most people were calling Lomachenko the #1 pound for pound boxer in the world, therefore after Teofimo out-boxed, out-manuevered, and out-fought Loma for eight or nine of the twelve rounds scheduled, “The Takeover” must now be recognized as #1 P4P.

After tasting a few little samples of Teofimo’s power in the early rounds, Loma decided he wasn’t going to get knocked out and hardly threw any punches for the first seven rounds of the twelve round fight.

This is a statement of fact and not an exageration as the compu-box numbers showed that Loma averaged only about ten punches thrown per round for the first seven rounds.

And it didn’t get much better for Loma after that either. Although he did better in rounds eight through twelve than grew he did in rounds one through seven, he still didn’t dominate the last five rounds of the fight by any stretch of the imagination.

There was also a legitimate knockdown that was incorrectly called a low-blow that was stolen from Lopez when he landed a picture perfect straight right to the belt-line of Loma, that folded and dropped Loma in round ten.

Regardless of the unfair commentating and ridiculous unofficial scorecard given by Andre Ward (114-114) , the official judges correctly scored the fight a unanimous decision win for Lopez, making him the undisputed lightweight Champion of the world.

Congratulations to Teofimo and team as they have been telling everyone for the last two or three years that Teofimo would easily beat Loma.
