It looks like the Mago fight took something out of Mike, mentally and physically. Given the terrible state Mago wound up in, it's easy to forget that Perez ate a ton of flush shots from a hard hitter himself in that war.
Draw or a MD for Takam. Perez was seriously poor, out of shape, lethargic, powder-puff punches, unmotivated, lazy. The sad thing is, he could have easily won that, but he just didn't look like a man who cared, or wanted to win or do what was neccessary to win, like in the Mago fight. It's not about what Watt is saying "the body hasn't recovered" - his body was mainly fine apart from being out of shape, what was missing was his mentality. When that goes you're nothing more than a journeyman.
