Boxing Fighter Payouts – Delgado vs Flores
Lindolfo Delgado, sporting a perfect 20-0 record with 15 knockouts, burst onto the contender scene in August 2022 with a stunning upset over previously undefeated knockout artist Omar Aguilar.
Since then, the rising star has solidified his position as a force to be reckoned with, dismantling some of his country’s toughest junior welterweights.
His recent victories include a fourth-round demolition of Luis Hernandez in November 2023 and a seventh-round knockout of Carlos Sanchez just this past March.
Delgado hones his craft under the tutelage of renowned trainer Robert Garcia in Riverside, California. His training camp has been nothing short of elite, featuring intense sparring sessions with top-level fighters such as Raymond Muratalla, Vergil Ortiz, and welterweight contender Alexis Rocha.
Bryan Flores, a 26-0-1 slugger with 15 knockouts, has been steadily climbing the junior welterweight ranks. His career gained significant traction with a split decision upset over previously unbeaten Shinard Bunch in April 2023.
Bunch landed a powerful blow in the opening round, sending Flores to the canvas. However, Flores demonstrated remarkable resilience and tactical acumen, dominating the latter half of the fight to secure a hard-earned split decision victory.
The Mexican fighter has since maintained his momentum, securing impressive third and fourth-round stoppages over Eleazar Valenzuela Carrillo and Jorge Abel Bermudez, respectively.
Since his career-defining split-decision victory over Shinard Bunch, Flores has showcased his knockout power, stopping two opponents in succession. Interestingly, this Saturday’s bout against Lindolfo Delgado will only be Flores’ second fight on American soil.
