Quite the action packed fight - lots of educated volume punching, infighting and very little clinching.  Don’t see that as much in today’s prizefighting..
I scored it 115-113 (7-5) for Choclatito.  Surprisingly, Roman [U]([/U]the older fighter) closed stronger.  But coulda gone either way.  117-111 scorecard was bad (heard the judge may be suspended).  Closer than their first fight (a few years ago) IMO.  Gonzalez is hitting bigger guys at 115 and no longer seems to possess the fight changing “pega” he had at 112.  Curiously, Estrada stopped going to the body after the 5th and settled for Choclatito’s head.  Thought Roman made a nice, subtle adjustment after Estrada clearly won the 7th and 8th rds with increased volume.  Increased his distance, fought off the back foot and countered with the lead right during each exchange thereafter.  
Estrada never really had an answer for it (except to keep punching, which he did)...
Winner (Estrada) is contracted to fight Sor Rungvisai next (rubber match - one decision win apiece) later this summer on DAZN.  Allot of depth in the Superflyweight Division right now - Choclatitio, Rungvisai (owns a KO win over Roman), Ioka, Cuadras, Moloney, Nietes, Cintron, Tanaka, Estrada.  Personally, think the current WBO Champ Ioka may be the best of the bunch.  Unlike the more glamorous divisions known to most current U.S. fight fans (135, 147, 160, Heavy), these Superfly’s fight each other regularly (they don’t just jaw at each other on social media or lock up in exclusive promotional stables).  Usually more than just once.  
That’s why I like watching them...
