Estrada returns on Thanksgiving eve!

PRESS RELEASE: 2004 Olympian Jason "Big Six" Estrada (4-0, 1 KO) returns to action in his hometown Thanksgiving Eve, November 23 against Jeremy Brooks (4-2, 2 KOs) in a six-round bout at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence. Estrada, who turns 25 later this month, was the first boxer to
win both the U.S. Nationals and U.S. Challenge three years (2001-2003) in a row. The 2003 Pan-American Games gold medal winner went on to represent the U.S. in the super heavyweight division at the 2004 Olympics. Brooks stands 6-4 and has weighed in as much as 268-pounds. "Brooks is no turkey," Estrada said about his Thanksgiving Eve opponent. "He's a big man and I want to finish out the year in an exciting way. I want to move up to eight rounds as soon as possible. In 2006, I want to get some quality wins under my belt and break into the rankings." As an amateur, Estrada defeated five men who now have a combined record of 101-6-3 as pros: DaVarryl Williamson (22-4, 18
KOs), Malik Scott (22-0, 10 KOs), Malcolm Tann (16-2, 8 KOs), Donnell Holmes (23-0-1, 22 KOs) and cruiserweight Felix Cora, Jr. (17-0-2, 9 KOs).
