The judges score: 116-110, 115-111 and 114-112.
The fight was rather dirty with a certain number of clinches. In the third round the referee deducted one point from Peres for allegedly intentional headbutt, after which Briedis received a cut near his left eye. In the tenth round the referee deducted one point from Briedis for the constant holding.
In general Briedis was more accurate in this fight. Perez despite long layoff was in a very good shape, he constantly went ahead but he wasn’t persistent in his attacks.
