Was Mike Perez Holding Back Against Carlos Takam?

I was at Mike Perez's debut in Limerick.
He was in incredible shape and motivated. Everyone was talking about him back then. He lost his motivation ever since. The Mike Perez I have seen past few years would lose to the guy making his debut back in 2007.
Nice guy though and respect to what he did for Mago.

 

Agreed hes also kinda boring do not want to see him on TV anymore no time soon

 

Takam was a huge underdog, just a tuneup fight for Perez, but Perez lost the fight, good thing the judges were for Perez, if not, there is not way Perez could have gotten a draw..............Perez was not holding back, he was just out fought...........Takam is the real winner..........

 

I had it 6-4 Takam, but I was not surprised with the draw. I agreed with Jim Watt (sadly)

Gave Perez the 1-4 and Takam 5-10. Just felt that He got out worked and out husttled out of the fight. Motivation looked like to be a problem and he didnt look the same after the cut.

Think we need to see a rematch

 

I knew Perez was a bum. He never beat anyone.. Mago was overhyped face the facts.

 

I think he was a little but it's hard to tell he has that typical Cuban style which I don't think translates very well to the HW division like it does in the lower weights.

 

I thought he was winning the fight till he got cut and started rumbling on the inside with Carlos Takam.

 

no excuses for Perez, but I didn't see him throw one punch all fight that had the same snap aswhen he fought Mago... seemed a bit off, but then again he didn't do anything to make a difference in that fight
