All three judges scored the bout 99-91, 98-92, and 97-93 for Flores, who improves to 10-0-1, 5 knockouts. 

Flores, who resides in nearby Dunkirk, was the more-effective fighter throughout most of the bout. Betancourt was game, but the punches Flores landed were sharper, snapping back the head of Betancourt, especially during the second half of the fight.

Betancourt, who resides in Mexicali, Mexico, drops to 27-5, 14 KOs. The 31-year-old has now lost three of his last four bouts.

In the co-feature that featured a clash of unbeaten flyweight, Anthony Olascuaga of Los Angeles, California battered Gustavo Perez before Perez remained on his stool after the sixth round.

Olascuaga (4-0, 2 KOs) dominated the action from the opening round, utilizing exceptional hand-speed and pinpoint accuracy to break Perez down. Perez looked defeated during the fifth and sixth rounds, where his corner told referee Charlie Fitch that Perez was not able to continue.

Perez, who resides in Ensenada, Mexico, drops to 8-1 1 NC, 2 KOs.
