This Saturday night in Buenos Aires, Argentina’s undefeated Florencia López will step into the ring against Venezuela’s hard-hitting Leiryn Flores for the WBA Fedelatin light flyweight title. The bout will take place at the Federación Argentina de Boxeo stadium, setting the stage for a crucial showdown in the 108-pound division.
López (11-0) enters the fight with an unblemished record, though she has yet to score a stoppage victory. All 11 wins have come by decision—nine unanimous and two split—suggesting she’s built for the long haul and ready for another grueling battle. In her last outing, she dominated fellow Argentine Claudia Ruíz on the scorecards (99-91, 99-91, 100-90), securing this title shot that could mark a turning point in her career.
Her opponent, however, brings a different kind of threat to the ring. Caracas native Leiryn Flores (23-5-1) is a proven knockout artist, boasting 19 stoppage wins in her career. But with five losses and a recent history of mixed results, she arrives in Buenos Aires with something to prove. Flores is riding a two-fight win streak, both against Angie Colmenarez—one by knockout, the other via opponent retirement. Before that, she suffered a split-decision loss in this very arena against Argentina’s María Sol Baumstarh.
López enters the bout as the favorite, thanks to her technical skills and undefeated record. But with Flores’ power, it only takes one punch to flip the script. A tactical chess match or a sudden firefight? The Fedelatin belt is on the line, and anything can happen.
