Following his two round wipe out of David McNemar, BJ Flores is
targeting a shot at WBO cruiserweight champion Marco Huck.
33-year-old Flores, the WBO's number one ranked contender, said:
"It's no secret this is a fight I have wanted for a very long
time.
"After Huck KOs Firat Arslan I want him next. Huck is very tough
and very well-conditioned. He is very strong and very confident. He
has a great team around him and I respect him as a fighter.
"But any time he has fought anyone who can box he has had
troubles. Steve Cunningham, Denis Lebedev and Ola Afalobi all gave
him fits.
"I have quietly changed my entire boxing style. I have tried to
fly under the radar and go back to the drawing board and get
better.
"I have fought four times in the last year and feel sharp and
ready. I have three KOs against decent opposition. I want a step
up. No one will expect me to beat him. It will be an absolute
shocker."
