Why hasn't he fought this year yet? I've checked his profile and see no fights scheduled yet either. What is he upto?:roll: Looking forward to seeing more of him in action. He's a talented guy but can't help think he's going to be a wasted talent.
It would be a much better fight, but i don't think Perez has any name to make significantly more people tune in than Rogan
Perez was supposed to fight in late March, according to him... Source: http://www.punchbagblog.com/2012/02/heavyweight-prospect-mike-perez-talks.html
Would do nothing more then his other fights I would imagine. Channel 5 viewers are mainly casual fans, they will have no idea who Perez is.
Can Perez fight for the Irish title? Imagine a Cuban and an Englishman fighting in Manchester for the Irish title!
Happens all the time for British titles, you have Mongolian, Irish, Africans and others fighting for the British title all the time .
