Reasoning

Two-time IBF world minimum weight champion Pedro Taduran of the Philippines defends his title against Mexican Gustavo Perez in Temecula, California. Perez comes with a decent 16-1 record, although no major names on his record, and he is dropping down in weight for his first world title challenge. This looks like an informed champion at his peak against a slightly underexperienced challenger. If you’ve seen Taduran at his best, you will know he’s a whirlwind. He throws high volumes of combinations. He doesn’t leave you alone for a second, so I cannot see Perez here in the final bell.
