Pedro Daniel Estrada Espitia, known as Daniel “Tremendo” Estrada, is a Mexican former lightweight boxer. BoxRec and BoxerList list his professional record as 32 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw, with 24 wins by knockout. They list his height as 5 feet 10½ inches and reach as 71½ inches; his stance was orthodox.
Estrada won several regional titles during his career, including the WBC Youth World, CABOFE, WBC Continental Americas and WBC FECARBOX lightweight championships, according to the record compiled by BoxerList. He also held the WBC Silver lightweight title, which he won in August 2012 and defended twice. The BoxRec title-fight list records his title-winning TKO of Adrián Verdugo and defenses against Nihito Arakawa and Isaias Santos Sampaio.
In September 2010, Estrada challenged Reyes Sánchez for the inaugural WBC Silver lightweight title and lost by split decision, according to BoxRec’s title-fight record. He later suffered stoppage losses to Omar Figueroa Jr. in August 2014 and Kevin Mitchell in January 2015. BoxingScene’s report of the Mitchell bout says Mitchell stopped him in round eight and won the vacant WBC Silver belt.
Estrada’s February 2010 win over Angel Alirio Rivero is recorded as a 10th-round technical knockout. A contemporary Bad Left Hook account praised the bout’s action while criticizing the referee’s stoppage. Estrada’s listed record and title history can be checked in the sources below.
