Estrada seemed to tire greatly in the 9th and 10th rounds though, maybe from the right hooks to the body that he had been receiving. Estrada did what Teddy Atlas said that he shouldn't do, hang around in "no man's land" on the outside, too far away to land his own punches but close enough for Cintron to land his jab.
Yes.... but I have to go against the GREAT Teddy Atlas this time. I think Estrada had it right, up until about the 4th round, where he stopped his awkward head movement on the outside. For some reason, he started standing upright more often.

I'm just saying this, because some fighter's who are awkward can get away with things, and I think Estrada is one of them.
