1. 10-9 Estrada. Leading well with the left, countering well with the right
2. 9-10 Marquez. Estrada not doing as good a job being elusive here.
3. 10-9 Estrada. More effective work and clipped him late
4. 10-9 Estrada, starting to draw mistakes and punish them
5. 10-9 Estrada, really starting to push Marquez back and impose himself on this fight,
6. 10-7 Estrada. Fuck, I had Marquez winning the first two minutes. Tempted to score that slightly differently but he wasn't winning it by much.
7. 10-7 Estrada. Aw this feels harsh as fuck, Marquez coming forward, game as fuck, edging it again until he gets dropped, down twice and keeps coming, how he lasts 50 seconds after that and stays on his feet is one thing, but he almost had Estrada over and his glove may have touched down. Feels all wrong scoring a 6 point deficit in the last 2 rounds
8. 10-9 Estrada but this isn't as one sided as I expected, Estrada is hurting him and Marquez is feeling the pace but he's still competitive
9. 10-8 Estrada. Marquez is about done but still fighting back
10. TKO. The first knock down was a body shot and head shot, then the finish goes head, body, head head. Great finish and who knows what put him down, he might have been dropped by any of them.
It may sound silly, given I had Estrada 12 up entering the 10th and there was another 2 knockdowns to follow but that was more competitive than I expected and certainly not as one sided as the scorecards and number of knockdowns suggested.
Estrada was the better man, the better boxer and at times the better fighter. It was an excellent performance but kudos to Marquez for the ballsy performance but there was also some offensive work throughout that you could admire
