Couldn't really see a thread just for the card, so here is one. Herrera/Perez about to kick things off.
I guess we had the same idea at the same time
Very solid 1st round by Herrera. Would like to see him finally get his just due here.
Welcome along Oumafan.
Good first round for Herrera. He's a good fighter, I thought he was unlucky against Garcia.
Closer round. More work Herrera, cleaner punches Perez.
Unless you're just attached to this thread I'll merge the two threads.
Not scintillating, but not a bad fight so far.
Thanks Ouma, just merging them is fine. I see now there is a sticky.
2-2 Good fight.
Ooh, thought Perez was winning 5 but Herrera landed hard at the end to steal it.
Good fight. Perez just busier for me. Level halfway.
I just realized that the guy I thought was Perez was actually Herrera :p
Starting late problems.
Sharp smart exchanges by both and good style contrast. 58-56 Perez, crisper damaging shots.
Seventh hard for me to score, maybe cleaner work from Perez, but Herrera busy at the end.
Great eighth round.
good round!
Big Herrera round, great fun. Maybe even again.
Spot on. Gave to Herrera only on a couple body shots that gave Perez pause. But really, flip a coin. Have it even after 8.Quote:

This is a cracking fight. I'm not writing anything down but I think Herrera is edging it. If I was Oscar after his latest coverage in the media I'd be staying away from pink shirts.
Perez is starting to wilt in the 9th, but winning the 10th, IMO.
It's really fun. Perez tried hard that round and maybe edged it, but he looks knackered.
Man. Herrera is a deceptively cagey guy. Solid stuff off ropes in 10th, baiting him. 96-94 Herrera looking much sharper
This fight is mental. Whoever wants it most now.
Very good fight and hard to judge.
Typical back and forth ;D Perez baaack for 11th. Quality scrap. 105-104
Couple of points in favour of Herrera for me (I think). Good, close fight.
I'm bipolar after watching this one, tons of changes. But at end 115-113 Herrera
Fair enough on the decision. Excellent fight.
Great start to the evening although I missed the Kameda fight. Herrera deserved that. Oscar definitely making a statement with that shirt.
Why do we have to listen to Mr Dildo? It creeps me out.
Purses for tonight:
Canelo Alvarez will receive $1.5million for his headlining bout against Erislandy Lara, though he can expect to earn substantially more based on the revenue generated by the PPV. While Lara will make a career high $1million, again he will get a cut of the PPV pie.
Abner Mares returns from his shocking first round knockout last August against Puerto Rican Jonathan Oquendo in a ten-round featherweight attraction. Mares purse is $400,000 while Oquendo will be paid $50,000.
Johan Perez and Mauricio Herrera meet at junior welterweight for Perez WBA “Interim” title, the champion makes $100,000, while Herrera makes $125,000.
In an interesting crossroads junior lightweight match up Juanma Lopez will make $125,000, while Mexico’s Francisco Vargas pockets $75,000.
Though the Tomoki Kameda vs. Pungluang Sor Singyu WBO bantamweight title fight isn’t part of the PPV, it will take place on Showtime Extreme. Kameda’s fee is $60,000, while the Thai challenger trousers $40,000.
Hopefully Herrera can make a couple of paydays now. He deserves better than that money after making Garcia look foolish. Also a great fight here. I wish him well. He deserves the chance to train properly and bank a little too.
You've got Oscar grinning away behind the Corona girls and you know he's thinking about them strapping it on for him later on.
Vargas gets a KO or stoppage here and it'll be exciting.
Vargas is big for this weight. This could end early
Lopez is getting put out in this fight
Lopez looks like a hobbit. Quiet round, Vargas round based on breathing more.
Have to say, really like the Box Nation feed for a change of pace. Who is this calling it?
Lopez just has that look of a matter of time. Done well to reestablish last few fights but his legs tell it all
Lopez and Vargas getting right to it 1st and 2nd.
2-0 Vargas
