Okay gentlemen, anything in the white is going to be good here gentlemen.
Anything on the letters on on up is good here guys all right.
You got my instructions in the back. Protect yourselves at all times. Listen to my commands.
Touch them up. Back to your corner gentlemen.
Main event time.
Live on the zone.
Ryan.
Manny Flores.
18 and 1. 14 KOs.
He's got that rat tail growing and Tom Taylor said no it's too long.
Gotta get some tape behind him.
Victor Olivo.
Hermosillo Sonora Mexico.
You ready?
That's the Costa Zoo.
Yeah.
Costa Zoo.
Costa Zoo for the southpaw.
Costa Zoo had his higher though.
Yes.
It was up to the top yeah.
Flores looks big in that ring Gabe.
Man that's a good nice hook right there.
Yeah.
Man he looked much bigger than Olivo tonight.
And will that advantage help out Flores?
Nice body shot right there by Flores.
Gabe we worked a lot of Manny Flores fights and he's usually filling out the first couple rounds.
The last two haven't right but he's very very sharp quick.
Yeah yeah.
You know he looks like he's got a nice warm up in the in the locker room.
Came out popping that jab throwing combinations.
Nice quick counters too.
A lot of eyes on Flores tonight to see how he looks how he performs.
Especially Oscar De La Hoya the Hall of Famer the founder of the company.
Eric Gomez president of Golden Boy.
That plans for Flores to move him up.
Try to get him into the 118 pound rankings.
And work his way up.
And I asked Nassim Molina a fantastic reporter in Edmonds Seal about Olivo.
Like Nassim who is this guy?
I can't find much on him.
That body shot hurt.
That body shot hurt Olivo.
It was a nice quick counter and that shot landed right on the liver too.
And Nassim told me he told me he's tough very tough but I don't know Beto.
That body shot got him.
Right away body work.
You caught the Gabe.
It was a shot that he landed about five of his shots.
Is it the 10?
No it's not.
It's a first round KO for Gucci Manny Flores.
As Olivo felt the body shots and he did not get up.
Wow.
Man, Manny looks sharp in that first round.
Countering body shots, jabs.
Looking nice and swift.
And he gets a knockout man.
First round knockout.
Didn't even break a sweat.
I thought Olivo was going to give us more than that.
But Manny Flores wasn't playing with his food tonight.
150 of the first round.
He's on good now.
There was a couple body shots in that last one.
That's the one that says the shot through the stomach.
Yeah and the thing is that Manny landed that counter shot right on that sweet spot.
About four times in that round.
That last one, it did damage.
And now they take the tape off of the Rattata.
That is long.
15th knockout for Manny Flores.
He's now 19 and 1.
All right, so Eric Gomez, we talked to him.
I'm like okay, what are your plans for Manny?
I think Eric's all...
Well yeah, this win definitely puts Manny in a spot to fight one of the top 10 guys.
He is looking different since he lost.
We're not going to show you highlights.
Instead, we're going to show you the entire fight that lasted 150.
You know, one thing I noticed from the very beginning
was how loose and smooth he was.
Popping that jab, nice and sharp.
Nice counter, quick shoulder rolls right there.
And I like the way he was responding to the shots right here.
As soon as Oliva would throw a shot, Manny had an answer for it.
Nice little short hook there.
And Oliva's watching the fight on the big screen and he's just shaking his head.
Because it was all Manny Flores.
Nice one-two right here.
And Manny's too sharp.
Look right here, not diving in, allowing Oliva to come in.
One-two.
And here come the shots.
Nice body shot.
See, that was the first one right there, lands clean.
And here are going to be the ones that are going to end it.
So Oliva's already hurting from that first body shot.
And right here, what I like in this spot right here was Manny wasn't diving in.
He was jabbing, jabbing, measuring, measuring, measuring,
waiting for Oliva to make a mistake.
As soon as Oliva dives in, Manny counters.
He knows that that shot hurted him, so then he goes for the attack.
Now when you know your guy's hurt, you go for the kill.
And he goes right for the same shot.
And that was it.
He's trying to shake it off.
It was a quick first round, but it was a lot of nice,
sharp, crafty things that Manny did in that one minute in that first round.
Oliva was counted out, and he stayed down a little bit longer.
It took him a while to stand up.
And right there, Manny Flores took care of business.
All right, Joe Martinez, this crowd is going to hear from you right now.
Ladies and gentlemen, the end comes officially.
One minute, 50 seconds.
Round number one.
Referee Thomas Taylor reaches the count of 10 for your winner, by way of knockout,
Gucci Manny Flores!
What a victory for Flores.
So Manny Flores gets the job done.
First round.
That's what you're supposed to do when you're the main event.
All right, so we showed you the fight.
Now we're going to show you some more highlights.
That way you can record it, tag it, tag the Golden Boy account, tag Manny Flores.
Because he got the first round KO.
Took care of business.
Main event in Coachella.
That's four straight stoppages now for Manny Flores.
Tell you, you lose, you get humbled.
You can talk about, I'm doing this, I'm doing that.
But until you actually put on the performance, that's when we see it.
Don't talk about it, be about it.
Let's hear from Manny Flores.
Manny, that did not take long at all.
You went immediately for the kill.
When you heard him with that first body shot, were you just in shark mode attacking him?
Oh, yes.
As soon as I landed that body shot, I just seen his veins, his veins, you know,
it started popping out.
That's when I knew I heard him.
As soon as we heard that, we smelled blood and we go for it.
And last time you were here as the main event, things didn't go your way.
What does this mean to you with this crowd in front of all the people here
that support you to get the result that you've always wanted?
Oh, so this second chance, I was going to do nothing like I did last time.
I'm going to come here and the opponent is myself.
That's the big opponent.
What is the biggest difference for Manny Flores then to Manny Flores now?
Oh, you guys seen it.
There's footwork.
There's more volume punches.
I mean, we're out here to go kill him.
What did you learn about yourself tonight?
It wasn't very long, but you had to really take a chance.
But what do you really learn?
Oh, I learned that, you know, we got to be calm and poised because, you know,
a wounded animal or a wounded person, you know, they get in the corner,
they go throw anything to get out of there.
You wanted to make a statement tonight, not just for yourself, not just for this crowd,
but for the trajectory of your career.
What kind of statement do you think you made?
Oh, you know, we're going to be a problem in this division.
I promise you, whoever's in the way, you guys have belts on.
I'm coming for you.
Coachella Valley, clean sweep tonight.
Is it going to be a party?
Oh, yeah, there's going to be a party, probably.
Probably, most likely.
Most likely.
All right, Manny, thank you so much.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much, Manny.
