At the end of their fights, promoter Zanfer gathered them to do an interview that spread on their social media.
“We know that everyone is waiting for the fight between the Rooster and me,” the “Chocolatito” González said first. “I hope in God that the year that enters everything will take place,” Ms. G.G. shook hands with the “Gallo” Estrada, who congratulated him on his great victory over Cuadras.

“As everyone rightly says, everyone is waiting for the fight and hopefully it will happen next year, first God,” the Rooster replied. “We both won, which is what we wanted, and what people wanted. We both had a great show. And I think we deserve that fight.” When asked if they were willing to star in the rematch, Estrada replied, “I do want the rematch.” “We’re going to wait for the promoters, get paid and the fight is done,” added Everyone who watched the interview on the spot started clapping and cheering them both, asking them for the fight, which ripped off the laughter of both fighters.” Take out the money!” said the “Gallo” a few laughs, making with his hand the very Mexican sign of money. The first match between Nicaraguan and Sonorense occurred in November 2012, when Estrada was a promising prospect playing his first starting match. For his part, “Chocolatito”, already reigned in his second weight category. The duel proved very close and competitive, but in the end Gonzalez took the victory by unanimous decision. But eight after that battle, the long-awaited rematch could not be realized, as Gonzalez demands that both obtain the best economic exchanges of his career. And now it seems imminent that the fight will take place in 2021, but the promoters of both boxers must negotiate for the fight to be both commercial and sporting success.
