BJ Flores Debuts at Heavyweight

Post by Ruthless-RKO »

At the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, Arizona - BJ Flores (33-3-1, 21 KOs) made his official debut as a heavyweight, and demolished Jeremy Bates (26-19-1, 22 KOs) in the first round. Bates went down twice before the fight was waved off.

Flores, who weighed a solid 223-pounds for the fight, was having issues with making the cruiserweight limit. Last October, he squeezed down one final time to challenger WBC cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew. After started well in the first round, Flores was caught by a punch that he never saw coming and was eventually stopped in the third round.

BJ Flores has had multiple fights at HW. Even in a wide open HW division, he isn't even a top 10 guy.

Un-officially. He won a WBA related title. Typical WBA ranking OAP's.. expect him to break in to the top 15

This all day. BJ will look to cashout against a top twenty opponent and that's his ceiling.

Flores should keep fighting as long as possible ... (so I don't have to listen to his lousy commentary) ...
