Flores and Chavez Battle to Majority Draw in Action-Packed DAZN Main Event

In front of a sold-out crowd at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, super bantamweights Manuel “Gucci Manny” Flores (20-1-1, 16 KOs) and Jorge “El Niño Dorado” Chavez (14-0-1, 8 KOs) fought to a thrilling majority draw in a ten-round main event that headlined Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN. Judges scored the bout 97-93 for Flores and 95-95 twice.

Both fighters traded momentum throughout the fight, but neither was able to clearly separate themselves on the scorecards. Chavez, frustrated with the result, disputed the outcome during his post-fight interview. https://aviators.game/apps-aviator/

“Majority draw? What were the judges watching?” Chavez said. “They were probably looking down the whole time. That cut on my head was from a headbutt. He’s not a heavy puncher—he just throws combos. Now I know what to expect. Next time, he won’t touch me. I want him again, or give me [Cristian] ‘El Niño’ Picasso.”

Flores responded with his own post-fight assessment.

“There’s not much to say. It takes two to tango. If someone’s going to run all night, it’s going to be hard to fight,” Flores said. “We’ll run it back anywhere—we sold this place out on a Thursday night. I gave him too much respect early on. Next time, that won’t happen.”
