He recalled that he first fought Gonzalez when he was 22 years old, “at that time a closed aunt died and that affected me very much, and I had a hard time trying to make the weight. It was a great fight though.

Then came the time to fight Brian Viloria, a fight that many thought to be difficult for Estrada, however, the Mexican won the fight and the WBA belt, and defended it last July against Milan Melindo.
