In his last bout on November 14th, Estrada won a hard fought six round war over the much more experienced Ivan Rodriguez, a bout which had packed the house at Cicero Stadium on their feet from start to finish.
"Since turning pro sixteen months ago, Eric has really put himself on the fast track. He's fearless and only wants to be in tough fights. He's not looking for easy wins and the fans really enjoy seeing him fight. He's been terrific to work with and we're looking forward to seeing him perform again on the 23rd" said Pesoli. "Cannell's a tough kid from Canada who's coming off a ten round draw in a Canadian title fight so once again Eric is facing a very tough opponent."
The 26 year old Cannell, 2-1-3, fought to a ten round majority draw on November 21st against Omar Valdez in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for the vacant Canadian Super Bantamweight Title.
