Undefeated Welterweight Javier Flores takes on Jamie Herrera on November 5, 2015 for the WBC United States National Welterweight Championship PhilBoxing.com Fri, 30 Oct 2015  On Thursday, November 5th in Washington DC, Javier "El Chino" Flores will step in the ring at the 25th Annual Fight for Children Night with the WBC United States National Welterweight Championship ("USNBC") on the line. Flores, one of Roc Nation's most promising prospects, has been in the game for some time but is now poised to take the next step towards a championship as he battles a tough Jaime Herrera (12-1-3 7 KOs) in a 10 round bout. Flores of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico is currently in camp in Orlando, Florida and is training hard for his first title opportunity. Said Flores, "camp has been very good and we are working hard to bring home the victory to Puerto Rico." The southpaw Flores is a come forward fan friendly fighter who describes himself as a power boxer that can box from the outside or rumble on the inside. His current record stands at an impressive 12-0 with 11 KOs. Having been sidelined previously with managerial issues, Flores is ready to increase his activity level and show that he is the best fighter in Roc Nation's stable not named Miguel Cotto or Andre Ward. Flores feels the timing is right for him to break out and establish his own name. In Herrera, Flores is facing a battle- tested veteran who has victories over Patrick Boozer, Michael Finney and his biggest win to date when he stopped former world title challenger Mike Jones just 15 months ago. Said Flores of Herrera, "he's a durable fighter, very strong. He likes to come forward and is not afraid to mix it up, which I like. We are preparing for a war and working hard to make sure that we come out victorious on November 5th." Fores is managed by boxing attorney Rick Torres of Victory Sports & Entertainment and noted boxing advisor Gaby Penagaricano. Said Torres, "we feel Chino is ready to take the next step and that he will soon be ready to challenge the best of the Welterweight division. We're very appreciative of the opportunity that Roc Nation has given us and are confident Chino will deliver a title on November 5th; we're also honored to take part in such a prestigious charity event in Washington DC and know that Chino is going to steal the show."  |
