Roman Gonzalez and Juan Francisco lock horns one more time on Saturday night in a super flyweight title unification bout from the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
They clashed in November 2012, with Gonzalez (50-2, 41 KOs) winning by unanimous decision to retain the WBA junior flyweight title. While both guys have gone on to have success since then, Gonzalez and Estrada both are known to modern-day boxing fans as all-action fighters.
"Chocolatito", the WBA champion, is excited to run it back with Estrada and feels it's going to be exactly what fans are hoping for.
"Super happy and blessed by God, I'm ready for this fight," Gonzalez said at Thursday's press conference. "I know it will be a nice and elegant one.
"Juan Francisco is a very good champion. We know what we have to do and give a good fight. It is my dream to be WBC champion again. I have trained very hard. With the help of God and my team, we are going to make an excellent fight on Saturday. All of Nicaragua and Mexico are going to paralyze. May the best man win."
For Estrada (41-3, 28 KOs), it's a chance to right a wrong. The WBC titlist knows what he did the first time around and promises they will bring fireworks, but this time the result will be different.
"It's a fight we've been waiting for almost nine years, and we're not going to waste the opportunity," Estrada said at the same presser.
"Chocolatito is a great fighter, and may the best man win. I have waited a lot, I have three defeats, and I only need this one to go back to being undefeated. I am ready for this fight. No doubt it will be a better fight than the first one. It will be a war. Those who see the fight will be the winners. I come focused and motivated to win."
