It was a good fight. It was not only me who remarked on Perez having underachieved before but he showed his potential in this fight. It is tragic that the results for his opponent are so devastating but Perez himself did employ more head movement and some decent boxing skills. Work rate like that will be way too much for many other heavyweights but you have to worry that injuring someone else like that may affect him psychologically and leave him a little gun shy. Obviously at a time like this most of our thoughts are with the big Russian and his family.
