“I think it will be easier fighting him today than in the amateurs because he had to box a little more back then. You don’t see him boxing now. He’s a sitting duck. This (pro boxing) is a whole different game, something I learned in my first fight and I’ve progressed from there. He’s got the same stuff. Our fight didn’t happen in the amateurs, so I’m focused on beating him as a pro. I can’t see how he took this fight. His people must be telling him I’m just fast, like (Eddie) Chambers or (Chris) Byrd, but I’m more aggressive and they weren’t. I’m not worried about going over there because, if I smash him and lose, everybody will see that. No way I’m going to lose; I’m either going to stop him, or I’ll deserve a win by decision. He can’t prepare for what I’m bringing.”
Estrada’s promoter, Jimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc.), worked tirelessly for several months to get Povetkin for Estrada. “I’ve never worked so hard to make a fight happen,” Burchfield explained. “I know how badly Jason wanted it. I have to compliment Povetkin’s people for taking it. The Estrada Unit doesn’t back-off from any opponent. They’ve talked about this fight for a long, long time. In 2008, Jason went from a youngster to a man, doing everything asked of him. For everything he’s done since he signed with CES, especially in 2008, this fight is a reward for all of his hard work. I believe Jason Estrada is a future world champion.”
Providence-native Estrada was one of the most highly decorated American amateur boxers ever, compiling an amazing 261-14 record in U.S. competition. He was the first boxer to win both the U.S. Nationals and U.S. Challenge three years (2001-2003) in a row.
Jesse Brinkley showed good improvement in front of a hometown crowd winning a unanimous decision. Curtis Stevens' prediction of an early night never came, he said he would end the fight in less then 50 seconds. As Brinkley weathered the early storm the tide changed for him and it never came back. All those long hours in camp with Peter Manfredo Sr paid off because as Stevens got weaker Brinkley got stronger. Stevens did well in the first 2 rounds and he put a huge welt under Brinkleys eye, but he became discouraged when he kept coming. Brinkley knocked down Curtis in both the 5Th and 12Th rounds. Peter Manfredo Sr decided to corner Brinkley Friday night instead of his own son who bares his name. It might not have been a great advantage because he was kicked out of the corner after the 8Th. He was kicked out for running into the ring and pushing Stevens to the ropes while the fighters fought passed the bell in the fifth. None the less Brinkley stuck to the game plan and dominated the rest of the fight. He sometimes moved straight back and didn't hold his gloves up high enough. Even so this Contender series fighter looked better then we have ever seen him in the past. He is now the number 2 ranked super middleweight in the world according to the IBF, not such a great prize because for his efforts he is that much closer to fighting Lucian Bute.
