All Time Flyweight Tournament Round 3: Pascual Perez vs Miguel Canto

ill go away and watch some Perez and get back to you

 

Ring Magazine thought Perez would win for what it's worth.

 

Right,

I see Perez winning the first few rounds with his shifty footwork and awkward angles which take Canto a while to adjust too. Especially the angles that the punches come from Pascual they come from all angles. I can see Canto taking it slow trying to figure him out and gettin outworked.

I think Canto figures out Pascual and starts scoring off the back foot. Kingpetch had the most sucess scoring off the back foot than anywehere else so i suspect Canto would be best served to do this and would take adavantage of it landing his shots on the advancing Perez by landing straight lefts and inparticular uppercuts that seem to trouble Perez.

I can see Pascauls persitance and awkward footwork culminating in an awkward left hook that drops Canto in these mid rounds but Canto gets up re adjusts and carrys on.

In the later rounds i can see Pascuals workrate pulling it through for him as he steps it up and starts out fighting and out punching Canto to take these later rounds.

Pascaul Perez UD 15

8-7 roughly


One thing i noticed was Perez was very awkward in the inside he had a good defence by rolling his head and his shots came from odd angles, i dont think Canto could actually be real slick inside with Perez and would get beat up on the inside his best chance would be too move.

 

Is he anything like Victor Galindez to watch GP? Perez that is.

 

ive never seen Galindez

Hes hard to desribe really perhaps a fast footed, angle using Santos Lacier?

even thats not a very good description

 

Galindez is a unique fighter in my opinion, how he fights, i was intrugued first time i saw him. Thanks for the info on Perez though GP.

 

very good to watch is Perez.

Shifty and clever

also some of his fights are hilarious cause hes so small

 

watched his fight with Wantanabe yesterday

how do you see the Canto vs Perez fight going? as we got abit off topic

 

bump

 

I wonder if this is still open?

After watching some Perez over the weekend I have to say I think he has a very good chance here.

He has fast feet, power in both hands, good upper body movement and a good chin.

I think Canto would have some success by boxing, but I don't see him having enough to keep Perez off him, who himself utilised some good angles. If I'm not mistaken he also seems to switch hit in the footage I watched.

Canto should look to employ lateral movement and hop out of range using his fast feet whenever Perez wails in, and try and catch him with scoring counters.

I'll say Perez by UD, mainly just by outpunching Canto, but I'm not sure whether he couldn't stop Canto.

 

I've just seen this reply, thanks for the info Sweet Pea.
