Well I must admit this fight was a complete disaster for Mike Perez. As it finished as a draw , it was the biggest upset of the year so far. Judges scored 94-96, 95-95, 95-95. I scored it 95-95 and I can say that I was generous for Perez. I mean everybody expected him to fight the way he fought in the Perez-Mago bout, but instead of that we saw another lazy Olander Solis version. I don't know what is wrong with the Cuban heavyweights, but they didn't impress anymore.
From the first round it was a very
inactive fight, Perez went forward all the time, using his jab and rare
left hands and Takam was always going backwards. It was seen with a
naked eye that Perez had big speed advantage over Takam and little by
little he was dominating.
I mean he won first and second round,
but them a head but happened. It was a big cut over the right Perez eye,
but I think his corner made a perfect job and that didn't have any
influence on what happened next. I mean Perez went forward and landed
little bit more and was little bit more active for first five rounds. He
has no power to trouble someone like Takam, so I thought my bet is
safe. But never say never....
