Seniesa Estrada is now halfway to her goal of becoming undisputed champion.

A masterful performance was delivered by the undefeated strawweight, who unified the WBA and WBC titles with a ten-round win over Tina Rupprecht. Judges Jerry Cantu (100-90), Rey Danseco (100-90) and Zachary Young (100-90) all scored wide in favor of Estrada in their ESPN-televised co-feature Saturday evening from Save Mart Arena in Fresno, California.

Once the fight ended, Estrada did not waste any time shifting her focus to her fellow unified titlist, IBF/WBO champ Yokasta Valle.

“I’m whooping you next,” vowed Estrada. “[Valle] can get in next. I’m the best in this division and I know it.”

Estrada was the busier fighter in the opening round, a normal role assumed by the two-division titlist. Rupprecht was able to remain at close quarters and within punching range throughout but unable to keep pace with the highly skilled Estrada who was equally effective from conventional and southpaw.

Rupprecht found a home for her left hand in round two. The visiting boxer—fighting for just the second time outside of Germany—landed the shot as Estrada was caught switching stances. The 30-year-young Estrada shook off the blows and even nodded in acknowledgment before she turned the tide with terrific body work, against which Rupprecht struggled to defend.

Estrada was more defensively responsible in rounds three and four. The East Los Angeles hero continued to switch between orthodox and southpaw at will, which impacted her offense to a degree but which also left Rupprecht unable to plant her feet long enough to throw or land any substantive punches.

The pre-fight scouting report put together by Estrada’s team was played to perfection in round five. Estrada allowed Rupprecht to come forward, prepared for the aggressive on-rush from her squat opponent as she remained committed to working the body.

Rupprecht landed a right hand over the top with roughly 35 seconds to go in round six, perhaps her best punch to that point in the fight. It came after Estrada all but stunted the German’s offense for much of the round, using her slick boxing skills and also tying up in the inside when necessary.

Estrada had to contend with swelling under her right eye, to which she employed more head movement and even a consistent jab in round seven. A switch to southpaw saw Estrada land consecutive right hooks. Rupprecht took the shots well but just couldn’t keep pace as she never had the chance to counter.

The flow of the fight remained in the same direction in round eight. Rupprecht walked in a straight line which allowed Estrada to rip off combinations to the body. Estrada connected with right hooks to the chin of Rupprecht and then immediately pivoted out of harm’s way before she set up her next combination.

Estrada stuck to what continued to work as Rupprecht did not give her any reason to change course. The sport’s tiniest pound-for-pound entrant continued to put in devastating body work all the way to the final bell, fittingly ending the fight with a left hook downstairs immediately followed by a right hand upstairs.

It can be argued that Rupprecht—who fell to 12-1-1 (3KOs)—deserved at least one round. The level of dominance exhibited by Estrada, however, was reflected in Compubox’s unofficial punch statistics. Estrada outlanded Rupprecht in every round, as she connected with 118-of-473 total punches (24.9%), including 67 landed body shots. Rupprecht landed just 63-of-414 total punches (15.2%) as she ended her title reign dating back to 2018, having made five defenses prior to Saturday’s setback.

The strawweight division now has two unified champions, with all four belts at stake on Saturday.

Valle defended her IBF and WBO belts at home in Costa Rica just as Estrada added the WBC belt to her collection. Estrada made her third overall title defense of the WBA belt she has held since March 2021—an anniversary she celebrated on Monday.

The goal now is to claim the other two belts and then repeat the feat in at least two more weight divisions.

“Once I become undisputed, I want to move up to light flyweight and become undisputed there,” claimed Estrada, who previously held the WBO junior flyweight title before she vacated to remain at strawweight. “And then I want to move up to another weight class and become undisputed there.

“My goal is to become undisputed in three different divisions.”

Headlining the show, former titlists Jose Ramirez (27-1, 17KOs) and Richard Commey (30-4-1, 27KOs) will collide in a scheduled 12-round junior welterweight bout.
