Fighter Breakdown

Manuel Flores

Style: Aggressive pressure fighter with fast hands and a high-volume attack.

Strengths: KO power (70% finish rate), body work, and relentless pace.

Weaknesses: Can be hit clean when overcommitting; lone loss exposed defensive gaps.

Jorge Chavez

Style: Slick boxer-puncher with sharp footwork and a disciplined jab.

Strengths: Ring IQ, counterpunching, and composure under fire.

Weaknesses: Less tested at elite level; power may not deter top-tier pressure.

Strategic Keys to Victory

Flores must cut off the ring and force exchanges early, using his power to break Chavez’s rhythm.

Chavez needs to stay off the ropes, use lateral movement, and frustrate Flores with feints and counters.
