Fighting for the first time since winning a unanimous decision over Darnell Wilson last February, the well conditioned Flores used his steady jab, relentless body shots and sharp three punch combinations to dominate the fight over the heavier Hicks, who weighed in at 256. More...

Welterweight Holly Holm was in action last night at her stomping grounds of the Isleta Casino in Albuquerque, NM where the 27 year old southpaw defeated opponent Myriam Lamare on points after ten rounds of combat.

The local southpaw retained her WIBF title in a difficult battle with French slugger Lamare, a former WBA Light Welter Champion who had only come up short in world title fights against the world's top light welter, Anne Sophie Mathis.

Holm saw things go her way early on as she put her greater height and reach to good use, keeping her 34 year old Continental foe at arm's length.

But Lamare's persistence paid off in the later rounds as she closed distance and found the champion with a lot of shots but Holm's early lead proved too much to overcome as she swept the cards by scores of 98-92, 97-93 and 96-94. More...
