1984 Cubanito Perez-Ricardo Jiminez details

[ProfessorLindenbrook]

Hello again. Transferring my master recordings again and I've found some information missing from your database. The February 3, 1984 fight between Irleis "Cubanito" Perez and Ricardo Jiminez was fought at Junior Welterweight. Perez weighed in at 139 lbs.. Jiminez weighed in at 142 lbs.. The bout was fought at the Showboat Sports Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.. The referee was Joey Curtis. Perez won by unanimous decision. The scores were as follows. Judge Duane Ford 97-93, judge Dave Moretti 98-93 and judge Dalby Shirley 99-91. Despite the lopsided scoring, Perez struggled with his stamina late in the bout (he was coming off a 10 month lay-off following his loss to Hector Camacho) and was visibly tired at the end. A very good fight. Telecast live on ESPN and called by Al Bernstein and Sam Rosen.
