Juan Francisco "Gallo" Estrada gif thread.
Some basic misdirection with the left hand against Tyson Marquez. He paws with the jab, throws an obvious left hook and then uses it all to setup a sneaky fast uppercut with the same hand.

Against boxers like Carlos Cuadras he's generally more defensively responsible and happy to rely on his jab, though he also excels at hooking off it with impressive handspeed.
Estrada doesn't have impressive power but he uses his precision and feel for the pocket to be fearless in dangerous exchanges against hard KO punchers, of which he has fought many.
Here he is using his signature combination, a left hook to the body and then a right hand to the head, to fight off the ropes on the inside. Chocolatito would eventually adjust to this and win but not without an incredibly hard fight.
Whenever his opponent is gaining too much momentum or overcomitting he's quick to slip in a left hook they'll have to respect to put things back on even footing.
His depth as a counterpuncher means he can always load up on a combination and end the night against overmatched opponents, so he has maintained a good KO percentage.
Or he can end it by setting up his blistering 1 - 2.
