Clottey Decisions Flores; Hoping to take on Cotto, Judah, Williams, Mayweather or Cintron next

10.08.07 - By Tim Nielson: Welterweight challenger Joshua Clottey (32-2, 19 KOs), putting in a workman-like performance, won a 10-round unanimous decision over Felix Flores (22-6, 16 KOs) on Thursday night at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The final judges’ scores were 97-93, 99-91, and 100-90, all for Clottey. This was a supposed to be a stay-busy fight for Clottey, however, he was forced to work a little harder than what was expected by Flores, 31, who was making his first appearance in the ring in 14 months.

In the opening rounds, Clottey looked very impressive often throwing 3-5 punch combinations and multiple hooks. None, however, seemed to have any effect on Flores, who just kept coming forward to land his shots – mostly to the body – any chance he could get. continue
