Why the House picks Tenshin Nasukawa
A true crossroads fight between an heir apparent and an old master. Rarely does youth fail, but Estrada has still looked dangerous and canny, even when losing by stoppage to ‘Bam’ Rodriguez in June 24, flooring the pound-for-pound contender in the 6th round. Nasukawa is coming off a loss to Takuma Inoue in a vacant WBC bantamweight title chance, losing by unanimous decision. So, all to play for. Since the Jesse Rodriguez fight, Estrada has fought just once, a unanimous decision win over the decent Karim Arce Lugo, and at 35, activity is key. Youth should play its part as well as home advantage, so I am going for Nasukawa on points.
