76-76 (4 rounds a piece) through 8 rounds. Whoever wins these last 2 rounds wins the fight, in my humble opinion .. #boxing #FloresChavez
4-2 Chavez maybe 5-1
All right. Great card in Indio. Solid fights. Saw an upset. Caught up with the great people at Golden Boy. Made some money. Now to make the long drive home to Camarillo .. #boxing #FloresChavez
Agree. I think you could promote that fight back at Fantasy Springs, maybe even that Acrisure Arena near Palm Desert. Just an idea .. #boxing #FloresChavez
A rematch is a must!
Majority decision draw from Indio. One judge scored the bout 97-93 for Jorge Chavez (14-0-1, 8 KOs), while the other two judges had the fight scored 95-95. Manny Flores goes to 20-1-1, 16 KOs. Rematch? .. #boxing #FloresChavez @Guccimaanny @GoldenBoyBoxing
95-95 scorecard. You might see a very crazy/ head scratching scorecard. We await the announcement of the judges’ cards .. #boxing #FloresChavez
You seem as though you know the sport of boxing well, Justin. Trying to figure out if you’re related to a prizefighter or something along those lines. Can’t quite put my finger on it .. #boxing #FloresChavez
Yeah made a bit of an adjustment that round. Doubling up the jab will help too
As round 6 begins here in Indio, a fight breaks out in the crowd. That’s why you’re seeing a reaction and people’s back to the camera. Booze and #boxing can be quite a combination that riles up people .. #FloresChavez
Flores was the aggressor in round 5, outboxing and outlanding Chavez. He won the round and is up 48-47 on my scorecard .. #boxing #FloresChavez
Agree. Chavez can’t fight effectively going backwards. His strength is being the aggressor. Flores has to walk him down or put Chavez on the defensive .. #boxing #FloresChavez
Flores gonna have to start making more of an effort to walk him down. Trying to sit back and counter but slower hands at moment
Good ebb and flow through three rounds. I have Manny Flores up 29-28 over Jorge Chavez. Both have had their moments. Will be interesting to see if either fighter makes adjustments during this point in the fight .. #boxing #FloresChavez
Good opening round for Manny Flores. Jorge Chavez came on and let his hands go during the last 30 seconds, but Flores won that round .. #boxing #FloresChavez
Jordan Panthen has a great backstory. Charasmatic, patriotic & lived the life of a cowboy in Arizona and Colorado. Underwhelmed tonight as a fighter. Credit where credit is due. Farid Ngoga kept finding holes in Panthen’s defense & grinded out a win tonight. #boxing #FloresChavez
Upset in Indio. Junior middleweight Farid Ngoga defeated Jordan Panthen (11-1, 9 KOs) by majority decision. One judge scored the bout 95-95, while the other two judges submitted cards of 96-94 and 97-93 for Ngoga, who improves to 11-1, 6 KOs .. #boxing #FloresChavez
Junior middleweight prospect Grant Flores won by knockout at :02 of round two after Todd Manuel (23-24-1, 7 KOs) stated he was not able to continue after hurting his right hand. Flores, who is the younger cousin of Manny Flores, goes to 11-0, 9 KOs .. #boxing #FloresChavez
I was in the 5th grade. I can still remember debates in the classroom and on the playground who my classmates thought was going to win. Some were adamant Andre the Giant was going to win because he was the ‘Immovable Object’ and was unbeaten. It was crazy to watch. #RIPHulkHogan
Who remembers?
Welterweight Cayden Griffiths knocked out David Lobo Ramirez (18-6, 13 KOs) in round 4. Devastating left hook to the body drops Ramirez down and out. Impressive power by Griffiths, who improves to 6-0, 6 KOs .. #boxing #FloresChavez @GoldenBoyBoxing @JoelDiazBoxing
Hard-hitting lightweight prospect Leonardo Sanchez of nearby Cathedral City stopped Mexico’s Abraham Valdez (14-2, 9 KOs) at 2:16 of round 4. Sanchez improves to 9-0, 7 KOs .. #boxing #FloresChavez @GoldenBoyBoxing @JoelDiazBoxing
In the opening bout of the DAZN stream from Indio, middleweight Fabian Sanchez of Orange, California improved to 8-0, 7 KOs, defeating Argentina’s Brian Arregui by decision. Scores were 80-72, 79-73 and 78-74 for Sanchez. Arregui falls to 11-6, 7 KOs .. #boxing #FloresChavez
Junior lightweights Bryan Lua (10-0-1, 5 KOs) and Kevin Piedrahita of Colombia fought to a majority decision draw. One judge scored the bout 78-74 for Piedrahita (10-3-1, 9 KOs) while the other two judges scored the fight 76-76 .. #boxing #FloresChavez @DanielRubinPBTV
Lua gets hurt again in round 4. Right hand from Piedrahita sends him against the ropes. Lua’s face is red from the punches Piedrahita has landed. FYI, Fight IS NOT streaming on the DAZN .. #boxing #FloresChavez
Big round 3 for Kevin Piedrahita, hurting Bryan Lua with a right hand to the head near the end of the round. He’s the been the more effective fighter thus far .. #boxing #FloresChavez
