Power Punching Prospect
Javier Flores Fights This Saturday At The Turning Stone
Resort Casino
The new acquisition of "Gary Shaw Productions", power
puncher, Javier "el Chino" Flores (7-0, 7 KOs), will be in
action this Saturday, October 27th on the undercard at the
Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, New York. Flores
will face off against California's Alberto Herrera (8-7-1, 5
KOs) in a non-televised bout scheduled for 8 rounds in the
welterweight division.
"I have sacrificed myself like never before for this fight,"
said Flores, born and raised in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico and
trains in New Haven, Connecticut. "To beat Herrera I will
need to be well prepared."
As an amateur boxer, Flores had a record of 65 victories
with 38 coming by way of knockout, and only 3 defeats.
Flores, who is a southpaw, is confident in the results he
has obtained with his new trainer John Scully.
"We have seen great improvement in my speed and punching
power. I have felt more electric and confident in sparring,
and we believe that after this great victory, the fans and
Gary Shaw will be very pleased with my performance,"
commented Flores.
Herrera has gone the distance with various undefeated
prospects, and recently (June) lost in the seventh round
against Thomas Dulorme (16-0, 12 KOs) when he was unwilling
to come out of his corner (RTD).
Three featured bouts will be televised live on HBO BOXING
