Perez looked too tired to finish the Russian off. Hopefully his stamina improves with increased activity. Nobody wants to see him out of the ring for a year again.

it was 2-2 going into the 5th round. I had magomed with the momentum after winning rounds 3 & 4 then the big right hook early in the 5th changed the fight. I saw magomed flinch & his face immediately swelled up & something looked broken. perez took over the fight from that punch on. they didn't start talking about it until the 6th. watch it again & you will see the punch in the 5th that changed the fight. magomed can take a punch but so can perez. best heavyweight fight of the year. even better then szpilka\mollo fights. huge set back for abdusalamov as he was WBC #4 & his spot will change in the WBC world cup. he will need time to heal it looks like anyway. I want to see both again. perez can take a serious punch & has good hand speed. this was a tough fight to call & they were very evenly matched. both guys showed great heart & neither is a hype job. I want to see both fighters again.Comment

You're right. No way you can fight ten rounds, throwing over 800 punches, and taking bombs from a guy like Mago, if you're not in shape. Mike might be able to improve his stamina further, but he was in good condition last night. Some guys, no matter how hard they train, just don't have great stamina.Comment

It's amazing that a twenty eight year old guy with that kind of ability was off for over a year. SMHComment
