David Estrada is a Chicago based American welterweight contender of Guatemalan and Mexican descent. Estrada began his amateur career in his native Chicago winning the Chicago Park District Championship in 1993, the Police Athletic League Nationals in 1997 and the Texas State Golden Gloves in 1998. By the time he turned pro Estrada had earned the number seven national ranking and amassed an amateur record of 50-10 with 13 KOs.

As a pro, Estrada has had a successful, if up and down, career. His rough and tumble style of volume punching, solid technique and a tenacity you can only be born with has made him a tough out for anyone. Estrada began his pro career 15-0 with 7 KOs but ran into a roadblock when he met then undefeated and rising welterweight contender Ishe Smith in 2003. Estrada dropped a unanimous decision but moved on to quickly.

He put together a string of three wins culminating in an impressive eleventh round stoppage of Chris "The Mechanic" Smith in 2005 that set up Estrada's biggest fight yet against "Sugar" Shane Mosley. Estrada showed his class and toughness in taking Mosley to the ten round limit and having much success during the fight despite dropping a unanimous decision.

Estrada would return the following year against Kermit Cintron and while this fight would mark the first time Estrada would be stopped, the fight itself became an instant classic. Estrada pressed the action early and often and took Cintron to the edge of defeat until a late rally by Cintron overtook him and the bout was stopped in the eighth round. Days after the bout, ESPN, which aired the bout, immediately added Estrada-Cintron to its ESPN Classic fights cannon.

Estrada put together another three win string and the exciting fighter was rewarded with a bout against current WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (at the time Berto was a rising contender) in a WBC and IBF title eliminator. The bout marked Estrada's first time down but he got up and fought gamely against Berto until the bout was stopped in the eleventh.

The next couple years were rough for Estrada. Controversial losses to welterweight contenders Jesus Soto-Karass and Luis Carlos Abregu had the fighter rethinking his career path. Estrada made the decision to move from Miami back to his roots in Chicago. He hooked up with a friend from the amateurs, former junior middleweight contender "Fearless" Fernando Hernandez and soon the two began training together. It was not long after this new union that Estrada began to change everything in his life.

With the new training regimen of Hernandez, it was time to add new representation to the mix. On the advice of Hernandez, Estrada added manager Wasfi Tolaymat and Boxing 360 promoter Dr. Mario Yagobi. The four of them have formed to create a positive environment from which David can grow.

The result of this change and hard work has been positive beyond expectations. On April 10, 2010, Estrada scored the biggest win of his career and the most impressive when he stopped Orlando Lora (26-0 with 18 KOs at the time) over eight brutally efficient rounds to secure a top ten ranking. Estrada's best days are yet to come.
