Good question, Perez's style would be very good for Stiverne but if Stiverne couldn't knock him out, anything could happen and Perez has an iron chin.
Either a Perez UD or a Stiverne KO/TKO.

Who wins and why?

Very good fight.

Mike Perez, I believe is an improved fighter since he started training with Robert Garcia. He only narrowly lost to Bryant Jennings on a SD. He has the ability, He just needs to be mentally ready. Stiverne coming of a loss to Wilder looked a very drained fighter. I'm not sure he would be able for the style of Perez who is the younger man, Big strong rugged Heavyweight with that Cuban style packs allot of power in his punches.

Mike Perez by UD or later round TKO

It's hard to have much confidence in Stiverne winning anything. Even in his last win over Arreola he spent 90% of the fight getting beat up on the ropes before landing that big shot. He's not a bad fighter per se but his strategy is so binary.

I think that a good thing for stiverne is that Perez isn't a tall and rangy fighter.perez should be easier to hit than a guy like wilder.if perez decides to stand his ground and trade with stiverne it could end up bad for him.if he decides to move and box,he has a much better chance

Stiverne isn't very good. Really just a tough punching bag.

Perez is not tall and rangy but he has allot power and moves very well for a heavyweight. He doesn't stand and trade,He will avoid on the back step and come at Stiverne with his own attack.
