埃斯特拉达勉强战胜了冈萨雷斯

胡安·弗朗西斯科·埃斯特拉达在经典格斗比赛中勉强战胜了罗曼·冈萨雷斯



对胡安·弗朗西斯科·埃斯特拉达(Juan Francisco Estrada)来说，等待是值得的。球迷们也一样。

周六晚，埃斯特拉达和罗曼·冈萨雷斯(Roman Gonzalez)在达拉斯的美国航空中心(American Airlines Center)上演了一场经典的斗殴。八年前，冈萨雷斯在一场重达108磅的拳击赛中以一致决定击败了相对不知名的埃斯特拉达。

这一次，埃斯特拉达被一个分裂的决定举起了他的手，这让他统一了两个115磅的冠军头衔，并牢牢控制了该分区。

不过墨西哥人得经历一番磨难才能做到这一点。冈萨雷斯在2017年连续输掉比赛后重建了他的职业生涯，在33岁时几乎达到了他的最佳状态，这场艰苦的战斗本可以是任何一种结果。

埃斯特拉达没有忘记这一事实，他说他们之间的第三次战斗是有序的。



“我认为我做的足以赢得比赛，但Chocolatito是一名伟大的斗士。我认为他配得上三部曲，”他说。

埃斯特拉达(42-3,28次击倒)开局强劲，在头几轮中击败冈萨雷斯(50- 3,41次击倒)。

接着，冈萨雷斯加快了出拳速度，战斗开始了。埃斯特拉达的刺拳打得很好，给了冈萨雷斯一记重拳，他快速组合，并在比赛中移动。

然而，尼加拉瓜人无情的压力迫使他的墨西哥对手经常与冈萨雷斯交火，这对冈萨雷斯很有帮助。当他在射程内时，他经常打出更干净、更引人注目的一拳。

值得注意的是，考虑到两名战士的能力和力量，他们都没有在12轮繁重的射击中受重伤。

两名官方裁判的得分和拳击迷的记分卡都反映出，这场比赛进入最后几轮时，比分似乎很接近。这种感觉可能解释了两名战士在第11和12回合中疯狂的出拳率。

最后，两位裁判分别为埃斯特拉达(117-111和115-113)和冈萨雷斯(115-113)打分。一个拳击迷以114比114打成平局。

在第10回合开始前，埃斯特拉达的教练告诉他，他需要一次击倒才能赢得比赛，这可能是他试图激励他的拳手的方式。后来有人问他当时认为自己站在什么位置。

“我知道这是一场激烈的战斗，”他通过翻译说。“我不知道我是上还是下。我知道我必须在最后两回合结束这场比赛。”

冈萨雷斯以一种典型的优雅态度接受了失败。

“发生的一切都必须发生，”他说。“我狠狠地揍了它一顿。不管结果如何，我都会满意的。我做了我的工作。”

他说得越多，就越激动。

“这是一场比第一次更好的战斗，”他说。“我觉得自己很强大，我觉得自己赢了。上一轮我拼尽全力了。这是一场很棒的比赛。这是上帝想要的，结果是上帝想要的。

“我很高兴，因为我要回家见我的家人了。”

埃斯特拉达的下一个挑战是强制性挑战者Srisaket Sor Rungvisai，他在周五的泰国比赛中击败了Kwanthai Sithmorseng。

埃斯特拉达在2019年接过了索尔·隆维萨的冠军头衔，他用很多话证实他将履行这一义务，但重申球迷们可以期待看到他和冈萨雷斯之间的最后一场较量。

“Rungvisai是强制性的，所以我会考虑这个问题，”他说。“但我随时都会用巧克力来打第三场比赛。”



For Juan Francisco Estrada, it was worth the wait. The same goes for the fans.

Estrada and Roman Gonzalez served up a classic brawl Saturday night at American Airlines Center in Dallas, eight-plus years after Gonzalez defeated a relatively unknown Estrada by a unanimous decision in a 108-pound fight.

This time, Estrada had his hand raised by a split decision, which allowed him to unify two 115-pound titles and take firm control of the division.

The Mexican had to go through hell to do it, though. Gonzalez, who rebuilt his career after consecutive losses in 2017, was near his best at 33 years old in a grueling fight that could’ve gone either way.

That fact wasn’t lost on Estrada, who said a third fight between them is in order.

“I think I did enough to win [but] Chocolatito is a great fighter. I think he deserves the trilogy,” he said.

Estrada  got off to a strong start, outboxing and outworking Gonzalez (50-3, 41 KOs) in first few rounds.

Then Gonzalez picked up his punch rate and the battle began in earnest. Estrada did a good job of fighting off his jab, beating Gonzalez to the punch, throwing quick combinations and moving much of the fight.

However, the Nicaraguan’s relentless pressure forced his Mexican rival into regular fire fights, which served Gonzalez well. He often landed the cleaner, more-eye-catching punches when he was in range.

Remarkably, given the ability and power of both fighters, neither of them was seriously hurt over the 12 taxing rounds.

The fight seemed to be close going into the final few rounds, which was reflected in the scoring of two official judges and the Boxing Junkie scorecard. That perception probably accounted for insane punch rates for both fighters in Rounds 11 and 12.

In the end, two judges scored it for Estrada (117-111 and 115-113) and one had Gonzalez winning (115-113). Boxing Junkie scored it a 114-114 draw.

Estrada was told by his trainer before the start of Round 10 that he needed a knockout to win the fight, which might have been his way of trying to motivate his fighter. The fighter was asked afterward where he thought he stood at that point.

“I knew it was a close fight,” he said through a translator. “I didn’t know if I was up or down. I knew I had to close out the fight the last two rounds.”

Gonzalez accepted the defeat in a typically gracious manner.

“Whatever happened had to happen,” he said. “I gave it a good fight. I would’ve been happy either way with the result. I did my work.”

The more he spoke the more emotional he became.

“It was a better fight than the first one,” he said. “I felt strong and I felt I won. In the last round I gave it all. It was a great round. That’s what God wanted, the result was what God wanted.

“And I’m happy because I’m going back home to see my family.”

Next up for Estrada is mandatory challenger Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, who stopped Kwanthai Sithmorseng after three rounds on Friday in Thailand.
Estrada, who took Sor Rungvisai’s title in 2019, confirmed in so many words that he would follow through on that obligation but reiterated that fans can expect to see one more fight between him and Gonzalez before all is said and done.

“Rungvisai is the mandatory so I’ll look at that,” he said. “But I’ll approach a third fight any day with Chocolatito.”
