Juan Francisco Estrada: “I was really happy with my performance. I really liked how Orocuta came to fight. I did my job and that was to give fans a great fight. I really want the rematch with Rungvisai. That’s why I fought tonight. I’m ready for the rematch that’s the fight I want. If not with him maybe against one of the champions Ancanjas, Nietes, or any of the champions.”Tom Loeffler: “We would like to do the rematch with Estrada and Rungvisai. That depends how Chocolatito does. He is the pioneer. You got Ioka that looked great tonight. He fought a very impressive fight tonight. I was extremely impressed. The good thing about the super fly division, you can match anyone up and it makes for good fights!”
