Flowers head as he knelt on the
floor. The referee waved Delaney
back to his corner and was about
to give Flowers the verdict on a foul

dered the round to be fought over.
Flowers came out stronger after
the rest and started to rush Delaney,
but he was clipped by another sharp
shooting right hand and was
stretched out on his face for the
count.
