Puerto Rico's Felix Flores will be looking to defend his WBO Latino title tonight in Kissimmee, Florida when the welterweight faces unbeaten Alejandro Juarez on the Telemundo TV Network. Flores, 20-4 (14), had previously achieved good success at light welter by winning the NABA and NABO crowns but coming up short in a WBA title bout with Sharmba Mitchell in 2000 and a WBO skirmish with DeMarcus Corley a year later. Juarez, 13-0 (8), and from Tijuana, Mexico will have to dig deep against the far more experienced Flores. The 27 year old has never been past six rounds and has yet to face anyone nearly as accomplished as Flores.
