Guadalajara's Miguel "Titere" Vazquez captured the Fedelatin lightweight championship of the World Boxing Association (WBA), after winning a unanimous decision (99-91, 96-94 and 98-92) over Nicaraguan Oliver “Trombita” Flores, on Saturday night at the Verité Social Venue in Monterrey, Nuevo León.
At 34 years of age, the former world champion of the International Boxing Federation (IBF) made it clear that he is still in a good position to go after an opportunity to fight for and win a world title, after showcasing intelligent boxing against a brave and offensive opponent such as Flores, who received his corner instructions from former world champion Rosendo "Búfalo" Alvarez.
An accidental head butt, in the third round, created a cut to the eyebrow of Flores. However, the ring doctor determined that the battle could continue. The cut prompted Flores to come forward, trying to connect on an elusive opponent.
At the end of the contest, the judges scored the victory for Vazquez, who added his 44th win, 17 of them by knockout, in exchange for 10 defeats.
For his part, Flores dropped to 30 wins, 19 knockouts, in exchange for four losses and two draws.
