Don Flamenco



Don Flamenco (Japanese: ドンフラメンコ; Hepburn: Don Furamenko) has made two appearances in the series. His first one was on the 1987 Nintendo Entertainment System game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, first as the initial opponent in the Major Circuit and later as #2 ranked opponent in the World Circuit. He later reappears in the Wii version of Punch-Out!!, as the champion of the Major Circuit. Don Flamenco has also appeared in a Topps trading card series.

Don Flamenco is known for being the fighter for whom it can take the shortest time to knockout in both games he has appeared in, at 15 seconds on the NES (though this only works the first time the player faces Don Flamenco), and at 17.74 seconds on the Wii. The music played at the beginning of a match with him is an excerpt from the overture of Bizet's opera Carmen, an opera set in Spain.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, he gets hired by the Preschool Girls as their first male bodyguard since both Ruby Ramirez and Dora Marquez are having Spanish last names, and even though they all also speak Spanish, they may be Latinos while he is Caucasian and a Castilian.

Later, he also gets hired by Carlos Ramon as his bodyguard as well when he was in his apartment while talking to him at the same time, just after the Pasta War.
