In a clash for the vacant WBA Intercontinental light flyweight title, unbeaten IBF #15 Hector Gabriel Flores (19-0-4, 10 KOs) scored a sixth round KO over local hero and WBA #3 rated Jay Harris (18-3, 9 KOs) on Friday night at the Vale Sports Arena in Cardiff, Wales. Flores dropped Harris twice with body shots in round six. Time was 1:32.
In a bout that figured to go the distance, super lightweight Akeem Ennis-Brown (15-1, 1 KO) outpointed Daniel Combi (9-5, 1 KO) over ten rounds to win the vacant WBC International title. Scores were 98-92, 99-91, 98-92.
Featherweight Jacob Robinson (9-0, 2 KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over Angelo Dragone (5-3, 0 KOs) for the vacant Welsh Area title. Score was 95-94. Robinson was deducted a point for holding in round six and scored a throwdown/knockdown in round eight.
Jay Harris coming in for a lightflyweight bout just ridiculous.
Lightflyweight as a division is ridiculous.
If he is to continue on, Jay Harris is in desperate need of an easy fight. He’s 1-3 in his last 4, been stopped now twice consecutively and even the one he won, against Braithwaite, was a tough fight. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he called it a day after this one.
