Bout Summary
Mabuza used a higher work rate and ring experience to score well in the opening rounds. In the latter rounds, however, Perez began to time Mabuza on his way in and began to swing the momentum of the bout. Mabuza went down in Round 12 from a right hand. He was able to beat the count, but a follow-up barrage from Perez forced the referee to step in and wave and end to the bout. [1]
