Happening right now. Perez is an overmatched late replacement for the overmatched guy that Siri was originally supposed to fight. Round 1. Siri comes out doin what he does. First punch he throws lands on the belt. Perez moving around backing up while Siri tries to get him on the ropes.
Round 3. More of the same. Siri really starting to let his hands go, and landing. Hard right upper by Perez. Siri down. Siri hurt as Perez attacks. Siri comes back and here we go. FOTY coming.
Perez can't take much more of that. He gave his best shot and Salido ate it up and is now dishing it back out.
Round 4. Picks up where the last round left off. Siri's pressure starting to be too much for Perez as he spends the whole round against the ropes getting lit up. Some chin on him.
Perez almost knocked down, but was saved by the ropes as he was literally off of his feet. He survives the round but looks really gassed.
Round 5. Copy and paste. Siri pressures Perez and tees off. Trademark hooks and uppers landing with Perez occasionally landing a counter. Perez moving around the ring but keeps backing up to ropes. Hell of a chin on him. Corner should start thinking about throwing the towel.
Why is BeIn Sports the only channel willing to invest in Salido? He's the most exciting fighter of his time.
Round 6. Perez visually tired just backing up getting hit some flush shots. Perez makes a decent rally at the end of the round but not enough to deter Siri.
Perez showing that he is not done yet,which is surprising because I thought he was done. Salido not as aggressive but still applying steady pressure. Perez has heart and cheeen!
Round 7. Siri backs up Perez to the ropes and rips the body. Perez escapes to another set of ropes and waves Siri on. Both fighters exchange wirh Siri gerting the best of them. No pop left on Perez's shots.
Round 8. Perez corner trying to stop fight. Perez looks like he wants to continue but doesn't come out as the ref gives him a 10 count. Fight stopped. Siri gets the win in an exciting home town fight. Siri looked a little out of shape tonight, more so than usual. Loma might be next. Yay. Also, whats up with the "cupping therapy" bruises all over Siri's back. Looks f'n strange.
