The 29 year-old Mexican Flores, is a fresh faced boxer\puncher that owns an established amateur record, but a protected professional ledger filled with mediocre opponents. Flores has the attributes that you look for in a contender: Fast hands, Height 6'2", reach 80", confidence and dedication. Despite the tools that the former BYU collegiate football player B.J possesses, I am not sold on his boxing ability. Sportsbook.com has the OVER\UNDER at 9.5 rounds with the OVER at -165.

Flores has some holes in his defense that could be damaging against a legendary puncher like Wilson. The 33-year-old Wilson is a squat 5'10" with tremendous leverage. Darnell a.k.a “The Ding-A-Ling-Man” can break bones with either hand. Wilson is an aggressive and determined brawler that is willing to take one to land one, but he has a good chin to take abuse, and decent handspeed to dish out punishment. Wilson is not a classy boxer so he can be outboxed with movement, but his level of pro competition is far better than Flores. If Flores can elude Wilson’s bombs however he can steal the late rounds due to Wilson’s suspect endurance. The fight will be in Wilson’s backyard so a close decision should go in his direction.
