Consider the floodgates opened.

Current undefeated NABO Cruiserweight Champion B.J. Flores is planning on becoming the next world class boxer to make the transition to mixed martial arts.

After fielding interest from several major promotions, the 31-year-old San Francisco native has agreed in principle to a non-exclusive, multi-fight contract with Shine Fights.

MMAmania.com (www.mmamania.com) confirmed the pending deal with sources close to the negotiations earlier today.

Unlike the recent high profile signings of James Toney and Ricardo Mayorga, Flores will be a champion switching sports while still in his prime.

If this guy gets some favorable matchups to begin with we might see a little more of this. On the other hand if he gets put on his back early they will probably back off. Interesting to see what happens.

I've seen him fight once, but don't really recall what his style is. What kind of boxer is he?

I was waiting for some of the boxing fans to answer the same question. Don't know anything about the guy. They say he is in his prime at 31 in the article, he fights around 200lbs from what it says. Interested to see what somone who actually knows about the guy has to say about this.

He's an ok boxer. Typical Mexican fighter that has a shitload of amateur experience but never really fought anybody worth a damn in his pro career to this point outside of one average FNF guy in Wilson that he won a narrow decision over. Decent combinations, doesn't really have KO power despite having a decent amount of them due to the number of cans he's fought. Curious as to why an undefeated guy like this would move to MMA before ever fighting a top 10 guy in his weight class

Boxer style? Inside fighter? Puncher? That will make a big difference in MMA.

Definitely not an inside fighter. Likes to stay outside and use his jab to set up combinations. If I remember correctly in the one big fight he had he fought a dude with a pretty big punch and was on his bicycle for the vast majority of the fight. He showed enough pop that he will definitely have pretty solid power with 4 oz gloves on

bicycle boxers are best cut out for MMA. They will better be able to handle the distance OF MMA striking, which is a lot different than boxing, and will be used to getting away and avoiding close range, clinching situations which will always lead to takedowns against good grapplers and wrestlers.
