Mexican WBA/WBO Unified Flyweight World Champion Juan Francisco "El Gallo" Estrada appears strong and impressive as he fine tunes his preparation ahead of his first world title defense against Filipino Milan Melindo this coming Saturday (July 27) at The Venetian? Cotai Arena? in Macau, China.
The 23 year-old Mexican world champion promoted by Top Rank looked focused and sharp as he worked out under the guidance of head trainer Alfredo Caballero, doing shadow boxing, hitting the speed bag, doing the mitts and throwing blows to the heavy bag.
The Estrada team, carrying the Mexican Flag, appeared in high spirits ahead of the important clash, which is one of the two world title fights featured this Saturday at Top Rank's card "Zou Shiming: Fists of Gold II" to be broadcast LIVE on HBO and TV Azteca 7.
