Flores Overcomes Adversity; Schramm Rallies In Second Half

Bryan Flores and Guido Schramm Earn Comeback Victories

In the stacked junior welterweight division, Bryan Flores (24-0-1, 13KO) overcame adversity to grind out a victory over Shinard Bunch (21-2-1, 16KO). The fight almost ended in the first round after Bunch landed a blistering three-punch combination that dropped Flores, who narrowly survived the round. Bunch kept the momentum going by coming forward with the jab on the front foot. Moreover, his hooks, uppercuts, and superior counterpunching controlled the early portion of the fight.

Flores came roaring back in the second half by getting up in his opponent’s chest, landing hard right hands and body shots. Moreover, he took advantage of Bunch’s lack of movement by landing the jab to force his opponent against the ropes before unloading on the body. Visibly tired, Bunch tried to close the fight strong by landing quick combinations before holding. The Mexican remained relentless with the body attack until the final bell.

GUIDO SCHRAMM KEEPS RELENTLESS PRESSURE ON JAHYAE BROWN

It was the tale of two halves as junior middleweight Guido Schramm (16-1-1, 9KO) walked away with a majority decision victory over Jahyae Brown (13-1, 9KO). The New Yorker came out on fire, landing the jab followed by fast combination punches that put Schramm on the backfoot. His defense, footwork, and body attack were on point. Moreover, he found a home for the uppercut, taking advantage of the Argentinian’s over-aggressiveness.

However, Schramm took control in the second half by coming forward and wearing down Brown with relentless pressure. He started landing hard body shots and overhand rights, clowning Brown before unleashing a barrage of punches. In the last round, both fighters fought hard. Brown started landing the jab and left hooks. Schramm closed the fight with hard overhand rights and left hooks that had Brown going backward until the final bell. One judge had it 95-95, overruled by other two judges that scored it 98-93, 97-93 in favor of Schramm. 3kingsboxing had it 96-94 for Schramm.
