In the fourth, Perez looked sharper and more aggressive than Julan. Still, the fight was close. Julan went on to try avoiding Perez in the fifth. Perez kept pursuing his man in the sixth.

The seventh was close and intense, with each man fighting well against the other. The eighth and final round saw Julan putting his fast hands to work early one. Still, Perez was able to continue moving forward behind his jab. It ended up being a fun, high octane affair. Julan mat indeed have hurt Perez as the round wound down. When all was said and done Julan was able to walk out of the ring with a unanimous decision win on his resume.
