Looks like the fight will take place in Perth, Australia on Nov 17 for the IBO cruiserweight title belt. Flores is a big guy and might pose some problems for Green if he can tag him. Green's conditioning might be a bonus for him if he can pressure the big fella. Should be worth a look.
Green to fight unbeaten American - Other Sports - Fox Sports
BJ Flores is going to fight?!?!?! That's odd
That's a shame, was hoping for a rematch with Paul Briggs. ;D
Not a bad fight this in truth, surprised Green isn't fighting the likes of Harold Bishop at the Lasaters complex.
BJ Flores has been used quite alot by David Haye for sparring in the last couple of years, I think Flores has a chance here he can take a dig for sure and will be the bigger man.
Lou Carpenter as referee. Helen Daniels, Jim and Paul Robinson as the judges. Defo.Quote:

But, I have never seen such an easier way for a fighter to propel himself to the top through the use of dodgy matchmaking than this. I can't wait to hear about he was the man who beat the man who ended JonesJrs career. I hope Flores is not taking himself too seriously. Sad thing is he will probably beat Green who is not a polished fighter in my eyes. This is merely a passing of the torch
Old American Adage applies to well to Flores: "If you can't run with the big dogs don't get off the porch." From what I can tell he's rather maintain the pristine record and fight bums going the distance
Here's the thing, I agree its passed put-up-or-shut-up time for Flores, but at least this is a good step up in competition and a step in the right direction for his career. It's his own fault, but he'd be too green for Cunningham or Huck right now. A win here gets him a belt and some visibility. He moves from this to a big fight in Europe. Green wins and he beats his most credible opponent to date. Probably a good fight for both fighters.Quote:

I think Flores will outpoint him.
I think you might be underestimating Danny Green somewhat there. And calling him a bum is very disrespectful. I think this is a fight that could be good one to watch as the styles should make for plenty of action. But your well thought out and articulately penned argument has now made me change my mind. Thank god we have the americans to tell us all how to think in a reasoned and intelligent way. I forgot we were running with the "big dogs" here on the internet. But don't worry I've gotten off the porch (I was only whittling there anyway) and am hiding way down here from all you big dogs.........................Quote:

Flores' criticism is perplexing to me because he really isn't a bad guy but gets so much criticism for his desk work on ESPN. It's kind of nuts, he really hasn't done that much bad. I don't think he's a bad fighter, he's solid fundamentally and he doesn't waste much, just kind of solid all the way around. Buuuut for whatever reason he gets hated on bad.Quote:

I don't know, it'll be a fairly intriguing fight. I don't think the world of him but I definitely am not on the 'I Hate BJ Flores' bandwagon like almost everyone else seems to be.
This is very strange...I was certain Flores had in his promotional contract that he does not face fighters who have scored KO wins..
Green strikes me as a guy who would really benefit from a 185-pound division. I don't think he is big enough for a real cruiserweight who enters the ring at 210. Green and Erdei are comparable in that respect really.
