But Flores was fired up to try and cause an upset and halt the hype train on the big bill.<\/p>\n

The pair met in a barnstorming undercard clash on the main card of the WBA and WBO cruiserweight world title clash between Gilberto Ramirez and David Benavidez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was the Argentinian who lit up the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Flores broke the punch record for 2026<\/p>\n

That was the highest tally of 2026 and his remarkable output didn’t relent until the very final bell.<\/p>\n

Lucero tried to throw back, but landed just 148 of his 665 punches.<\/p>\n

‘El Terrible’ also made his heavy hands count, landing a mega 47 per cent of his power punches.<\/p>\n

It was the biggest fight of Florez’ career and he will now hope to move on to big things at light-middleweight.<\/p>\n
