Perez, with his shifty dance and stance-swapping shenanigans, tried to throw Trinidad off his rhythm in the early rounds, but to no avail. The pair exchanged thunderous blows, turning the ring into a cauldron of fury, much to the delight of the wild audience.
The seventh round saw Trinidad’s left hook send Perez to dreamland, a prelude to the eighth-round onslaught that had Perez tasting the mat again, prompting the referee to call time on this epic showdown at 1:07.
In the undercard tussles, Eduardo Perez scraped a split decision victory in a super welterweight ruckus, while Adan Ochoa made short work of John Mark Alimane, who decided he’d had enough after two rounds. David Romero dazzled with a masterclass, schooling Luciano Ramos over six rounds, and Brook Sibrian showcased her might with a third-round stoppage over Nikkia Williams.
