Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-06-17, pretty good finish but not a ‘clean’ victory: Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Moises Flores gets two stars.Both undefeated, the 2000 and 2004 Olympic bantamweight gold medalist and Wba super-Bw champion Guillermo Rigondeaux entered this fight with a perfect record of 17-0-0 (11 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.1 super bantamweight in the world while his opponent, the Ibo and interim Wba super-Bw champion Moises Flores, has a boxing record of 25-0-0 (17 knockouts) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since June 11, 2016 when he defeated Paulus Ambunda; before this bout, in 2015, ‘Chucky’ Flores had beat Oscar Escandon (=Escandon vs Flores) and Luis Emanuel Cusolito (=Flores vs Cusolito). ‘El Chacal’ Rigondeaux fought just twice beatween 2015 and 2016 defeating Drian Francisco (=Rigondeaux vs Francisco) and James Dickens (=Rigondeaux vs Dickens). Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Moises Flores is valid for the WBA and IBO World super bantamweight titles; undercard of Andre Ward vs Sergey Kovalev 2. Watch the video and rate this fight!

The Nevada Athletic Commission, ladies and gentlemen.
The Keystone Kops, Inspector Clouseau and Mr. Magoo all rolled into one.
Hahahaha! I’ve never seen a ref with such low self-confidence. Can’t you just make a decision?! In my opinion this should have been ruled a NC. And I never thought the ref was going to call it a kd/KO. Clearly both men threw a punch simultaneoulsy after the bell. Rigondeaux landed, Flores did not. Flores then faked.
Yes ! Exactly what happened
NSAC changed their decision!
Why don’t dq flores for faking ? I’m tired and sad to see how they want to screw Rigo.
clearly after the bell, that’s life…….
What on Earth is this ref playing at?
tired of all the excuses. Whatever excuse you have, it doesn’t change the fact that the man lost..
In the exchange of blows, Rigondeaux struck ALL and Flowers none !!!
What happened just over the hood? Yes!
A clear, clear KO in favor of the Cuban!
He won well !!!
