Mike Perez turned a lot of heads during his HBO debut last November, thrilling the crowd in his 10-round win over Magomed Abdulsalamov last November. While the tragic post-fight fate of Abdulsalamov – who was medically induced into a coma in order to have emergency brain surgery performed – naturally overshadowed the fight itself, it was up to Perez to continue on with the present.

By Thomas Gerbasi - “This is a very long story,” laughed Mike Perez. The question was about his migration from Cuba to Cork, Ireland, but it could cover the life of the heavyweight contender, whose 28 year journey on this Earth has seen more twists and turns than a Hollywood blockbuster. Scheduled for his second consecutive HBO appearance, this one on January 18 in Montreal against Carlos Takam, Perez should have been in a celebratory mood as he met the media in California earlier this week, but while there were some light moments, the cloud over the proceedings was the southpaw’s first HBO fight last November, a punishing ten round decision win over Magomed Abdusalamov that left Perez’ unbeaten pro record intact and which changed Abdusalamov’s life forever. Today, Abdusalamov is in a rehabilitation facility in upstate New York, recovering from injuries suffered in the bout that required emergency brain surgery. Perez, to support his family the best way he knows how, fights on. A little over two months later, he can accept what happened, though it’s not easy.

By Robert Morales - The California State Athletic Commission on Feb. 9 in Arroyo Grande, Calif. will hold a mandatory seminar for officials who work boxing, MMA and Muay Thai kickboxing. Many things will be touched upon and one standout referee, Jack Reiss, has taken the time to send out an invitation to reporters, encouraging us to attend and observe and ask questions. Kudos to the former Beverly Hills fire captain for that. As poor scorecards have become an ever-growing problem in boxing, we are hopeful that there will be a strong emphasis on how a fight is supposed to be scored. Not that California has been the biggest offender of lousy scoring. But just in general, focusing heavily on that can only be a positive thing because when scorecards like the one rendered by C.J. Ross for Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in Las Vegas pop up, it is a public relations nightmare and just unbelievably unfair to the fighter who got burned.
