I'm not saying it's not commendable but he did ruin Mago's life, it's pretty much the least he could do. Kovalev also gave the fighter he killed parents his purse from his next fight.

It's not the fighters that are to blame for killing or injuring boxers in the ring, they are just doing their job.

It's the referees and trainers who won't protect the fighter taking a beating and stop the fight.

Steve Smoger was a disgrace to not stop the Kirkland-Tapia fight sooner. Ian John-Lewis should never have been allowed to work another fight after failing to stop Briggs-Klitschko.

Can't give enough respect for Perez

Nice touch by Perez...you can't really blame the fighter in a sport like this when unfortunate incidents like Mago occur...Anyway, he is an interesting character and almost guarantees exciting fights, looking forward to him being involved in some bigger match ups in the HW division soon!

First of, Perez is a very good HW willing to fight anyone with good skills & power. Giving 10 % of his purse & wearing Mago's name on his trunks for the Carlos Takam fight is pure class.

I liked this guy a lot before the Mago fight & even more now. Go WAR Perez !!!

HBO & SHO are back big-time with HW action as the division is in full bloom at current, love it !!!

please tell me the "original city of sin," to which you're referring is lynn

Perez didn't have to do a damn thing. He took monster bombs in that fight as well. It could very easily have been him in a coma. It's the chance all fighters take. They all know that going in. With that in mind, Mike's gesture is laudable. He's obviously a caring human being and a gentleman. Yes, boxing needs more guys like him.

i'm inclined to agree with you. i like verything perez does.

reps ireland hard, but doesn't forget that he's a cuban. boxes like a cuban at flipping HW. take notes, solis. perez is actually in shape. he can punch, he can box, and he has a great chin.

i want to see perez vs wladimir before wladdy retires. perez will lose to the jab, but he'll at least be in the fight early on.
