25-year old Welterweight Vernon Paris (28-1, 16 KO) of Detroit, Michigan, made it two in a row in rebounding from a knockout loss to Zab Judah last year, earning a unanimous decision despite a determined effort from 28-year old Manuel Perez (19-9-1, 4 KO) of Denver, Colorado, on Friday night at the Masonic Temple in Detroit, Michigan.
Both men came into the bout below the division limit of 147 lbs., Paris at 146 and Perez at 145 ½.
Perez, his hands held high in front of his face, stayed in front of Paris and pressed the fight through the first four rounds. Paris popped the jab but it was Perez landing the better stuff at short range, digging short lefts and finding some rights over the top. Paris responded with stiff right crosses but too often was responding rather than leading.
