This fight will be brutal for as long as it lasts. Does Giovani Segura have enough left to defeat Juan Francisco Estrada, who can box and hits pretty damn hard.

Segura has nearly superhuman punching power, so he’s always going to make any fight interesting, but I expect Estrada to take this one by decision in a hell of a fight.

Prediction: Estrada

 

Alex Burgos, Editor-in-Chief

How many good fights can be packed into one weekend? I’m really excited to see if Juan Francisco Estrada can continue his great run. Since losing to one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world in Roman Gonzalez, Estrada has won three straight.

Giovani Segura is a tough customer and packs a serious punch, but I think Estrada’s a bit more multi-dimensional in his attack and should be able to take Segura’s best stuff. In an exciting fight, I like Estrada by late stoppage.

Prediction: Estrada
