Solid fight here between Nasukawa and Estrada. Much closer than I was led to believe though as Estrada actually kept it closer early on. The rounds don’t show how close it was but many of the early ones were only Nasukawa’s by an edge. Estrada was using his veteran skills to land punches and make Nasukawa’s miss by a tiny amount. He is just washed though and couldn’t sustain his offence. Still, it’s an impressive outing from Nasukawa to contain even a washed version of Estrada. He is still a good fighter and can cause you trouble. It is a shame seeing him so far from the top level after all those years though.
