Lindolfo Delgado: "Sparks Are Going to Fly!" PhilBoxing.com Sat, 03 Aug 2024  Delgado returns against Bryan Flores in the co-feature to Venado Lopez-Angelo Leo on Saturday, Aug. 10 at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico, LIVE on ESPN RIVERSIDE, Calif. (Aug. 2, 2024) — Mexican Olympian Lindolfo Delgado is ready to face another unbeaten compatriot. Delgado returns in a 10-round junior welterweight showdown against Bryan Flores on Saturday, Aug. 10, at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Delgado-Flores will be the co-feature to the IBF featherweight world title battle between reigning champion Venado Lopez (30-2, 17 KOs) and hometown challenger Angelo Leo (24-1, 11 KOs). Venado-Leo and Delgado-Flores will be broadcast LIVE on ESPN, ESPN Deportes & ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Legacy Boxing Promotions, tickets are on sale via Etix.com. Delgado (20-0, 15 KOs) made the jump to contender status when he upset then-unbeaten knockout artist Omar Aguilar in August 2022. Since then, he has continued to defeat some of his country's toughest junior welterweights, including a fourth-round stoppage of Luis Hernandez last November 2023 and a seventh-round knockout of Carlos Sanchez in March. Flores (26-0-1, 15 KOs) upset Shinard Bunch via split decision in April 2023. He continued his momentum by dispatching Eleazar Valenzuela Carrillo in the third round last September and Jorge Abel Bermudez in the fourth round in March. Following a recent training session at Robert Garcia Boxing Academy, this is what Delgado had to say: "Bryan Flores is a very good fighter with a lot of experience. He likes to trade, and he packs a punch. So, without a doubt, sparks are going to fly. It's going to be a really good fight. And defeating him will move me up a bit in the rankings." "I have very good sparring partners. I've done a lot of sparring with Raymond Muratalla, Brandun Lee, and other boxers here at Roberto Garcia's training camp. I've also gone a few rounds with Vergil Ortiz. They’re good sparring partners. They not only push you but also make you think." "And I like that. They’re sparring sessions that make me think and make the rounds complicated so I can bring out my best and learn from them, too. The sparring sessions are really good. I've prepared well. Sparks fly here at the gym every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday." "First things first. We have to fight Bryan Flores. We have to look good. After that, God willing, we can hopefully get a shot at a world title."  |
