Early life
Miguel, a former senior at Sam Houston (Houston, Texas), grew up in the gym watching his brother train.

During a bout, Benjamin was critically hurt and required paramedic attention and was rushed to nearby Parkland Hospital to undergo emergency surgery to relieve swelling on his brain. He died five days later, on May 5, 2009, from brain injuries suffered in the ring.Amateur career
Flores traveled the country for tournaments and he won Ringside World Championships in 2006 and 2008. He reportedly had about 100 amateur bouts.Professional career
