Boxing Pound-for-Pound Rankings: Juan Francisco Estrada claims spot after avenging 'Chocolatito' loss

Estrada cracks the top 10 of our P4P rankings after the disputed split decision win over Roman Gonzalez in a thriller

It was expected to be a classic given the countless wars both fighters had produced in recent years in and around the 115-pound division. Yet what Juan Francisco Estrada and Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez produced last Saturday somehow exceeded expectations. In the end, Estrada (42-3, 28 KOs) came away with a highly-disputed split decision over the resurgent Gonzalez (50-3, 41 KOs) in their unification bout, a rematch of their 2012 thriller which the four-division champion "Chocolatito" won by unanimous decision. The only disappointing part about Estrada-Gonzalez II, a savage war filled with equal levels of astounding technique and championship-level adjustments, was Carlos Sucre's rogue scorecard of 117-111 in favor of Estrada which resulted in the judge drawing a suspension from the WBA.  Regardless of the controversy, it's very likely the two fighters will meet for a third time down the road. The 30-year-old Estrada, however, must first face off against mandatory opponent Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, who owns a pair of victories over the legendary Gonzalez, in their own trilogy fight.
