The fine and powerful Nicaraguan boxer, known in his homeland as the "Arg?ello Chiquito" has made all his Jr. Flyweight world championship fights against Mexican rivals.

"Chocolatito" seeks to make clear who is the best fighter in the world at 108 pounds,that his potential is as wide as his style, his record and his ability to subdue his opponents.Against Estrada he will face a great challenger of rising level that could give him a big surprise.
