HEADLINERS Gabe Flores Jr. “I LOVE MY CITY. I’M JUST TRYING TO DO EVERY- THING THAT I CAN FOR IT...I LIKE TO GO AND TALK TO THE KIDS ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEIR ACTIONS, LIFE, AND ANYTHING THAT WILL HELP THEM STAY AWAY FROM JOINING GANGS.” 13 Karima Magazine.indd 16 5/21/17 5:07 PM
FIGHTING For Stockton y Familia Gabe Flores Jr. is no ordinary teen. By the time he had reached the age of 12 he had already lost his uncle and his mother to the streets of Stockton. Two separate acts of violence that no one could really understand, yet he kept going. With the help of his family and the help of his Father, Gabe Flores Sr., he is now the first fighter to ever be signed by Top Rank boxing. Meet the young pro who represents the city of Stockton. Karima: How long have you been fighting? I’ve been fighting since 10 years ago- since I was seven years old. Karima: How does it feel to be signed to Top Rank as the youngest fighter ever in the history of their organization? I mean, no doubt that’s big time. They have promoted world class fighters like Muhammad Ali, Oscar De La Hoya, George Foreman, Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather, and so many more. Yeah-it feels great. It’s something that hasn’t ever happened in history before me. It’s somehting new... it’s never been done. I’m just really grateful for the opportunity that I’ve been given. And I think that I’ve been given this opportunity, because of my skill, yes, but also because of my life. All of the events that have taken place and everything that I have had to overcome so far. You know, the story behind me. Karima: So, then who is your greatest influence in life? My Father is my greatest infulence. You know, me and my Pops have a vision of what we want to do in life and where we want to go. We remind each other every day. So, I would have to say that it’s him. Karima: Has your Dad always been your boxing coach? Always-and it’s great. I go to the gym and he’s my coach. I go home and he’s still my coach. We share the same goals, the same accomplishments. So, we have a great understanding. Karima: Do you ever disagree with him? Of course. Anybody will have disagreements, but we talk it through...just like anything else.
