נייַ יארק שטאָט (פעברואַר 6, 2017) – Nicaraguan lightweight OliverTrombita” פלאָווערסstrong performance this past פרייַטיק evening against undefeated, צי ניט. 1 ראַנגקט פעליקס “El DiamenteVerdejo, fought in front of more than 7,000 fans in Verdejo’s hometown of San Juan, פּאָרטאַ ריקאָ, truly embodied the spirit of Flores’ פאַרשפּרייטער, Havoc Boxing.
Known throughout boxing for its flashy, totally unique looking boxinguniforms” – trunks and jacketsthat are famously worn by present and past world champions such as דאַני “ביסטרע” גאַרסיאַ, דאַני “Miracle Man” דזשאַקאָבס, פּאַוליע “מאַגיק מענטש” מאַליגנאַגגי and others, Havoc Boxing is also a boxing promotional company on the rise.
While Havoc Boxing may not be a major player, at least not right now, it does feature a growing stable of gifted boxers such as Flores, the former world super featherweight title challenger who many fell deserved a far better fate than his controversial 10-round decision loss (94-96, 91-99, 92-92), which was turned in by the three Puerto Rican judges at ringside.
פלאָווערס (27-3-2, 17 קאָס) was a live underdog who gave prohibitive favorite Verdejo (23-0, 15 קאָס) all he could handle and much more. Verdejo even drew the wrath of his hometown fans for not engaging Flores, who came on strong in the second half of the fight, bloodying the 2012 Puerto Rican Olympian’s nose in the eighth round and seriously hurting him in the 10th. The World Boxing Organization (וובאָ) Latino lightweight champion left the ring at Roberto Clemente Coliseum to a chorus of boos.
Headlines describing the fight used phrases likeescaped with victory” און “struggles to winto describe Verdejo’s tainted victory. One boxing writer had Flores winning six rounds to four, claiming Verdejo simply didn’t do enough to win any other rounds.
We’re so proud of Oliver,” Havoc Boxing CEO Rob Diaz האט. “We thought he won the fight but it’s tough fighting a national hero in his backyard with three of his countrymen as judges. Those who made excuses for Verdejo claiming he wasn’t at his best because of his eight-month layoff, we reminded that Oliver hadn’t fought in more than a year because a few fights we had lined up fell out. נאָך דעם קאַמף, so many Puerto Rican fans congratulated us, saying Oliver was robbed, and that he deserved a rematch. Verdejo is looking for an opponent for his Puerto Rican Day eve fight (יוני 10) בייַ מאַדיסאָן קוואדראט גאַרדאַן. We’re certainly open to a rematch but I doubt they’ll risk fighting Oliver again.
Flores is what Havoc Boxing Promotions is all about. We’re still building our stable of fighters but people in the boxing industry should know by now that our fighters come to fight. They’re all willing to fight anybody, עניטיים, ערגעץ, as long as it’s a fair deal for us.
In addition to Flores, Havoc also promotes 22-year-old Dominican Republic featherweight prospect Yohan “די יריד” וואַסקעז (19-1, 16 קאָס), וואס איז ראַנגקט קיין. 14 דורך די וועלט באָקסינג פאַרבאַנד (וובאַ), as well as a pair of Colombian fighters, יבער באַנטאַמוועיגהט Wilner Soto (16-1, 8 קאָס) and cruiserweight SantanderCha ChaSilgado (27-4, 21 קאָס), who fought for the WBA world title in Russia and was ranked among the top 15 in the WBA and World Boxing Council (וובק) a few years ago.
We’re rebuilding the Havoc Boxing brand to also showcase our promotional division,” Diaz continued. “We have some talented, hungry fighters who we keep as busy as possible, moving them into position for major fights, like Flores versus Verdejo, including two world title shots so far. We’re getting close to crowning our first world champion. Havoc Boxing is much more than boxing’s best design and merchandising company. The future is Havoc!”

The 23-year-old will be fighting in front of a passionate hometown crowd in San Jose, risking his WBO No. 1 contender status and impending world title shot against current champion Terry Flanagan. He’s also scheduled to fight June 10th on Top Rank’s major Puerto Rican Day card at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden.
Havoc Boxing-promoted Flores (27-2-2, 17 קאָס), אָבער, is looking forward to spoiling Verdejo’s party and bringing joy back to his native Nicaragua.
We accepted this challenge because we believe Oliver will rise to the occasion,” פלאָווערס’ פאַרשפּרייטער Rob Diaz (Havoc Boxing) האט. “He hadn’t fought for more than a year because several fights we lined up fell through. אַזוי, we decided to move him up to lightweight to challenge a great prospect like Verdejo. This is a tremendous opportunity for Oliver. He’s not concerned about fighting Verdejo in Puerto Rico. Oliver has effectively fought on the road throughout his career because he’s a true warrior. He has a real chance to shock the boxing world מאָרגן night and we’re confident that he will bring his best into the ring.

In his last fight on New Year’s Eve of 2015, Flores unsuccessfully challenged then-World Boxing Association (וובאַ) Super world super featherweight champion Takashi Uchiyama (23-0-1) אין טאָקיאָ, getting stopped in the third round.
פלאָווערס’ only other pro loss was in 2012 to current WBC super featherweight world champion Miguel Berchelt, while his two draws were both on the road in Mexico and Costa Rica.
פלאָווערס (pictured to right on the scale) is a past WBA Fedebol lightweight title holder, as well as former World Boxing Council (וובק) FECARBOX and International Boxing Federation (יבף) super featherweight champion. He has proven to be a dangerous, upset-minded opponent having defeated previously unbeaten boxers Marcos Mojica (12-0-2), by way of unanimous decision, און Gabriel Dorado (9-0) via a first-round knockout.
A victory over Verdejo should position Flores for another world title shot in the not too distant future.
