Junior lightweight contender Eloy Perez will entertain the thought of an Adrien Broner fight after all, but only under certain circumstances.

By Jake Donovan - Undefeated super featherweight prospect Eloy Perez scored perhaps his most explosive win to date with a second-round blitzing of Daniel Jimenez in their main event bout Friday evening at the Sports Complex in Salinas, California. In the televised co-feature, James Parison won a hard fought split decision over Paul Mendez. Action was tight and fast-paced throughout, as reflected on the scorecards ranging wide in final tallies. The California-based Mendez was given the nod on one card that had him ahead 58-56, but was trumped by scores of 59-55 and 58-56 for Parison.
