A pretty active fight where a high volume of punches were interchanged but with a clear winner being Flores. Escandon did a reasonable fight but being the shorter guy I cannot understand how he allowed Flores to take also the lead at short distance. Anyhow, the fight was close but the better punches were always connected by Flores.
