Boxer lands most punches of the year in huge upset on Zurdo Ramirez vs David Benavidez undercard

Isaac Lucero, an unbeaten prospect, was stunned by Ismael Flores who put on a sensational display.

Flores was the underdog against rampant undefeated Lucero who had 18 fights and 18 victories to his name.

But Flores was fired up to try and cause an upset and halt the hype train on the big bill.

The pair met in a barnstorming undercard clash on the main card of the WBA and WBO cruiserweight world title clash between Gilberto Ramirez and David Benavidez.

It was the Argentinian who lit up the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

He put out a simply remarkable output throwing a mammoth amount of punches to leave Lucero stunned.

Lucero simply had no answer and was beaten soundly on the judges’ scorecards by unanimous decision.

The totals reflected his dominance at 98-92, 98-92, 99-91 all in his favour.

And he celebrated with huge joy in an FC Barcelona shirt with ‘El Terrible’ printed on the back.

But it was the final Compubox statistics that caught the eye.

Flores lands most punches of 2026 – the breakdown

Flores overwhelmed Lucero with his work rate, quickly neutralising any hopes of the Mexican starting his career with an unbeaten streak like Canelo Alvarez.

And he did so in record-breaking style, landing 348 of his 881 punches thrown according to Compubox.

That was the highest tally of 2026 and his remarkable output didn’t relent until the very final bell.

Lucero tried to throw back, but landed just 148 of his 665 punches.

‘El Terrible’ also made his heavy hands count, landing a mega 47 per cent of his power punches.

It was the biggest fight of Florez’ career and he will now hope to move on to big things at light-middleweight.
