WBO/WBA flyweight Juan Francisco Estrada (27-2, 20KOs) thinks the time is right for a rematch with Roman Gonzalez, who just captured the WBC title last Friday with a knockout victory over champion Akira Yaegishi in Japan. Estrada himself was in action on Saturday, stopping mandatory challenger Giovani Segura in eleven rounds.
Estrada met Gonzalez at junior flyweight in 2012, with the Nicaraguan fighter winning an exciting twelve round unanimous decision in Los Angeles. Gonzalez then moved up to flyweight and captured his titles with a decision win over Brian Viloria. Since then, he's successfully defended his titles three times.
Gonzalez (40-0, 34KOs) is a machine, fighting six times since the Estrada bout and stopping all six opponents in nine rounds or less. Gonzalez is likely going to make a defense of his new title against Luis Concepcion in November.
"It's a question of the team talking and the promoters making the fight. I am ready to fight him, even more so that he's a champion and we can unify the titles. Why not? We were thinking about coming out well from this fight [with Segura] and now comes the big fights with the big opponents, which is going to bring the big purses," Estrada said.
