Frank Flores beat Gil King by UD in round 10 of 10

"It wasn't the Paco Flores of old who decisioned Gil King in a 10 round bout. It was a new Paco Flores. He wasn't slick. He wasn't crafty. Instead, the crowd of 3,000 that paid $17,000 to watch the action saw a street brawler from Tucson brawl with a street brawler from Las Vegas. It was that kind of fight and the fans loved it. Flores used his laces right along with King. He was out-elbowed by King, but got the best of the gouging. King out-butted him and opened another cut in the 8th round, but Flores made the best use of his forearms and thumbs. In the 8th round, referee Joe Vozdik all but lost control of the fight as the two gouged and scraped each other with laces while Vozdik was trying to untangle them." -Tucson Daily Citizen

  • "He hit me below the belt in the 1st round. In the next exchange, he butted me and opened the cut between my eyes. He was just as dirty as he was in our first fight, but this time I wasn't the All-American Boy for him." -Paco Flores
  • "He beat me. He's a good boxer, but he can't punch at all. I have no complaints about the decision." -Gil King
