In the first round, Flores Chavez chased until the last minute, when Chavez finally ended up a right to Flores chin. In the second and third rounds, it was about who was in charge.
In the fourth round, after half a minute, Southpaw Flores Chavez injured with a right head on the chin. Again, with a little over a minute, he did it again in another near round. In the fifth round, Flores still had a good round, with Chavez, except for Chavez landing a solid left hook in the last minute at the Ken of Flores.
In the sixth round, Chavez returned to take a solid round and even switch to Southpaw. In the seventh round it was all Chavez Landing Punch to Punch. In the eighth round, Chavez continued to get the best of Flores with his hand speed and foot movement.
In the ninth round, it was that Flores took over and dominated Chavez for the first time. In the tenth and last round, with the decision to grab, Flores had the best of it and cut Chavez on the right eyebrow.
The scores were 97-93 Chavez, 95-95 and 95-95. Thomas Taylor was the referee.
In co-function, junior middleweight Jordan ‘The Patriot’ Panthen (11-1, 9 COs) lost a 10-round majority decision to Farid ‘Shogun’ Ngoga (11-1, 6 COs) in a struggle for the WBA America’s continental gold title.
In the second round, it was all action, with Ngoga turning South Poot and losing back to the first round, and half a round of half round landed before Panthen took over. In the third through the sixth rounds, the action continued, and each turned the landing of the landing.
In the seventh round, Panthen would have a break again in the last minute if he were to go on the attack, and returned Ngoga. In the ninth round, Panthen’s right eyebrow was cut by a clash of heads halfway. In the tenth and last round it was a nutritional fight, and the decision could go into an everyday battle.
The scores were 95-95, 96-94 and 97-93. Ray Corona was the referee.
