Bantamweight “Gucci Manny” Flores (19-1, 15 KOs) made quick work of Victor Olive (21-5-1, 9 KOs) on Thursday night at the Fantasy Springs Resort in Indio, California. Flores dropped Olivo with a body shot in the first round and Olivo watched the referee count him out at the 1:50 mark.
Local featherweight Tito Sanchez (14-0, 8 KOs) electrified the crowd with a third round knockout victory over Edwin “Pupo” Palomares (18-5-3, 9 KOs).
Somehow, someway Olivo looked SMALL at 118. He should be at 115 or 112.
I had an awesome time at the fights last night. Manny’s brother, Grant Flores, was in the Fight of the Night against Luis Ramos.
A highly-talented, lightweight prospect to watch out for, Daniel Garcia of Denver, put on a great performance.
I thought the Tito Sanchez vs Palomares was quite the fight. They have it wrong in the write up. It ended brutally in the 8th but Palomares gave Sanchez all he could handle. Glad you had a good time. Last Saturday was the first time I had been to a live fight since 2019.
Sanchez – Palomares was a war. Not a shred of defense in that fight.
