David Estrada is a tough kid out of Chicago, who is coming off a victory over Chris Smith in his last fight. Estrada is 18-1 with 9 KOs, with his only loss coming to Ishe Smith of "The Contender" fame. Estrada is trained by legendary trainer Angelo Dundee, and both joined on a conference call with the media on Tuesday.

Estrada was soft spoken, Dundee was his usual jovial self. Here's a little of what they had to say
about their fight with Shane Mosley on April 23rd.

David Estrada:

• On fighting a big name like Shane Mosley, and what a win could do for him...  It feels like any other fight to me, all that other stuff comes after the fight. I don't feel Shane dropping down in weight will affect him.
   

• On his role as the underdog...
  I don't pay attention to that stuff, I just go in the ring and fight.
   

• On his game plan against Mosley...
  I put pressure on whoever I am fighting, I pressure them until they want to stand with me.
   

• On when he found out that he would get to fight Shane Mosley...
  I found out as soon as my hand was raised in my last fight against Chris Smith.
  
   

Angelo Dundee:

• On Estrada's chances against Mosley...
  He will lick this guy. He'll be ready for Shane, David always rises to the occasion.
   

• On what Estrada needs to do for victory...
  David is multi-faceted. He just needs to do what does. David is like the old time fighters, he keeps in shape all the time, and is easy to teach.
   

• On what makes Estrada special...
  He learns with each fight, and is a good listener. He is very easy to work with, and has a great amateur background.
   

• On why Estrada is not a big name...
  I take the blame for not blowing his horn enough, but now it's time to do that, we have kept him under wraps for a long time.
   

• On Estrada fighting on his first big event...
  It's a step up, but I don't think the event or anything like that is going to affect this kid one bit.
