Jason Estrada to face Cliff Couser

ShoBox slot on deck for Estrada?

Press Release: On September 23, 2006, U.S. Olympian Jason "Big Six" Estrada will take on veteran Cliff "Twin Tyson" Couser in an eight-round heavyweight contest at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford. Estrada (6-0, 1 KO), 25 years old, scored a "shutout" performance in his last fight against Robert Wiggins (20-6-1), going ten rounds in only his sixth fight, and taking a unanimous decision (100-90 three times).  "It'll give me a chance to showcase my ability against a wily veteran," said Estrad about facing Couser, 26-10-2. Estrada will be risking a November co-feature bout on Showbox against undefeated Travis Walker (21-0-1, 17 KOs). "Some people told me not to take the fight against Couser because I'd be risking a bigger fight on Showbox against Walker," Jason remarked. "But this is a great opportunity to show everybody that I'll fight anybody at my level."
