	As a trainer in the early 70's, Perez was training a few boxers, one of which was fighting in Bakerfield, CA at a tournament. After a controversial ending to the bout his fighter was featured in, an all-out brawl ensued and Perez found himself in the middle of the fray. He then proceeded to do the unthinkable and, literally, knocked out 15 men, some of which were boxers, others were much bigger than himself. As everyone around him lay on the ground barely conscious and most having been knocked out, Perez stood in the middle huffing and puffing, waiting for yet another challenger. Needless to say, nobody else took up the challenge, but many congratulations found Perez as he returned to his family.
