Lyubomyr Pinchuk vs Jose Mario Flores | Turning Stone | January 15, 2022

Lyubomyr Pinchuk meant business from the opening bell against tough Washington D.C. based Jose Mario Flores. The two men went to battle over their entertaining 8-round NABA Gold Cruiserweight battle. Pinchuk successfully controlled the distance, establishing his jab early and often. However, Flores was game from the start, coming forward with a brawler mentality, digging to the body of Pinchuk. In the third-round, an accidental headbutt caused a cut over the left eye of Pinchuk, but it would seemingly not affect him or his work rate. In the middle rounds, Pinchuk’s length and combination punching began to take over. As Flores’ stamina began to wain, Pinchuk took advantage finding success with a short right upper cut. Flores who had never been knocked out in his professional career, would be buzzed late in the fight, but managed to stay on his feet. As the final bell rang, the fight went to the score cards in which Pinchuk would be named the new NABA Gold Cruiserweight Champion by unanimous decision (80-72, 79-73 (2x)).
