Flores vs Cusolito

Highlights

• –It was bombs away as both men came out early looking for power, power and more power. Moises Flores was the more accurate of the two, with Luis Cusolito looking to connect off the counter.

• –There was no slowing down for either man and no weak chins in addition as the fighters threw punches in volume. But Flores began to impose his will through the later rounds, showing more aggression and forcing Cusolito to cover and retreat to the ropes.

• –Following a flurry that culminated in a straight right that appeared to daze Cusolito, referee Benjy Esteves Jr. waved off the bout at 58 seconds of the 12th round, giving Flores a TKO win.

No one could say Moises Flores and Luis Cusolito didn’t come to fight at the Sands Casino in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. From the opening bell to the time Flores earned a 12th-round TKO, the two men fired huge shot after huge shot in an all-action affair.

Flores was the more accurate and aggressive fighter throughout, but Cusolito landed several monster punches off the counter that kept him in the fight.

The bout was neck-and-neck through the early rounds, but Flores began to gain the upper hand as the fight progressed. He frequently maneuvered Cusolito into the corners, effectively fighting on the inside.

Cusolito kept up the pace despite going past the seventh round for the first time in his career.

In the 12th, however, Flores got the better of the Argentine, drilling him with a straight right, a left hook and another left hook that seemed to leave Cusolito glassy-eyed. Referee Benjy Esteves Jr. then stepped in to stop the fight as Flores remained undefeated with a TKO.
