The former unified flyweight champion Juan Francisco “El Gallo” Estrada (39-3, 26 KOs) has now entered the pound-for-pound conversation by defeating WBC super flyweight champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai (47-5-1, 41 KOs) on Friday night at the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, California.

Estrada was too fast for Rungvisai in their rematch as Rungvisai looked a bit slow, and dependent on his toughness over craft. Rungvisai battled back late, to make the bout closer, but was so clearly outboxed early it was too much to overcome.

The judges saw it 115-113, 116-112 and 115-113 for Estrada, who is now the new WBC champion.

A rumor of Estrada fighting WBA super flyweight world champion Kal Yafai, circled shortly after the main event.

In the best fight of the year, WBA super bantamweight champ Daniel Roman (27-2-1, 10KO) won a majority decision winner over now former IBF junior featherweight champ TJ Doheny (21-1, 15KO) to unify two of the titles in the division.

Roman dropped Doheny in the second round and was landing the cleaner of the shot, but a big round in the eighth for Doheny saw the bout get close on the cards.

The fight came down to Doheny’s overhand left, and Roman’s left hook to the body, with Roman’s proving slightly better as he dropped Doheny in the eleventh round as well.

The judges saw the bout 116-110, 116-110 and 113-113.
