Estela, from Orlando, Florida, appeared to be on the verge of knocking down Rollins (5-3-1, 4 KO), from Charlottesville, Virginia, multiple times during the fight, but Rollins — the more experienced fighter — held on in each round. But it was clear from the jump Estela (6-0, 2 KO) was the stronger fighter. — Rothstein.
