Friday Night Fights: Estrada - Whitaker

Just looked at the card for this one tonight.

To be honest, I've never seen Estrada fight and from what I've heard, I haven't missed a whole lot. Whitaker certainly isn't anything special. So I was pretty lukewarm to the card tonight.

However, those looking for the next great heavyweight might want to tune in before the main event starts, as cruiserweight Aaron Williams fights on the undercard, facing his toughest opponent yet at least on paper in Andre Purlette. I've posted this before but I am very big on Aaron Williams and while he's a cruiserweight, I believe him to be the best young heavyweight out there. He's 21, I would have thought him to grown into a heavyweight by now but he hasn't. Still, he's talked many times about aspiring to be a heavyweight and for those who haven't seen him, I think they'll be impressed. Posted pages about him before here and I always look forward to getting the opportunity to see him fight.

Last time I saw him was back on FNF when Manfredo came back and he still looked green in that fight but put his opponent through the ropes which was cool. Here it is.

I think both Williams and Estrada are going to get knocked out

You wouldn't be VD if you thought otherwise. If you really think that a guy that dropped a decision to Jeremy Williams is going to knock Williams out then I just don't know what to say.

Haa, B.J Flores in Studio About David Haye....."Im glad he's gone". I Bet.

Ohhh,Purlett just got KTFO.....sort of

Ha, that was awesome. Deadly. Williams not as active but looked much better this time out but DAMN, huge KO. Big things from Williams I've been expecting since the beginning, I imagine he just came on a lot of people's radar :cool:

Didn't even get all the way through my sandwich when he finished it so I couldn't give full attention. Looked good slipping punches, nice movement on the outside and was able to space his punches perfectly on the inside which is what got him the KO. Very nice.

Nice prediction VD.

Believe it or not. I actually meant Purlette was going to get knocked out. My mistake. I'm not going to edit my post. Williams is a good prospect.

I normally watch this on sopcast but no stream today ?
I picked the same Williams and Whitaker by KO. Mount Whitaker is now a career low 239lbs, the same as Estrada which is amazing considering he is 7inches taller. If he has trained this hard he must be serious and thinking of this as a good opportunity.

When does this fight start ?

Love those little counter sneaks from Williams. Anyone seeing that Jesus Chavez return fight Vs. Daniel Jimenez...

awwww damn it Joey Spina .....crickets

Spina is garbage

SPina should win his fight, Whittom is a journeyman. Do you know if Jesus Chavez won his comeback fight yet.

Spina is still garbage

Glad Whitaker got rid of that dumb arse "Goofi" name given by Goosen.He looks ready to roll.......Whats up with the weight lose ??

Spina gets hit on like a lonely brides maid

Whitaker will make Estrada all goofi when he punches his lights out ! I think Whitaker does not want to be a journeyman and with the heavyweight division as it is he wants to make a statement so has trained hard and in top condition for this one ! He came in 12lbs lighter for his last fight and now another 21lbs lighter !

Geez, I didn't know frickin Spina was fighting tonight. I see he's been demoted back down to 6 round fights.

Neither of these guys have any defense, and they just look like the Rock'em Sock'em Robots. :jabbing:

Did you see frickin Spina blow a bloody snot rocket on Whittom's shoulder earlier in the fight. What a pig!
