ST. LOUIS, MO — Adrien Broner backed up his loud boasts from earlier this week with a blowout stoppage over an outclassed Eloy Perez last night at the Scottrade Center.
The bout began with neither fighter giving any ground and opting to counter toe to toe. The advantage here was with Broner, whose faster hands, longer reach and height allowed him to score with lead lefts hooks and a right uppercut. Broner unleashed triple left hooks to deter Perez’ s body attack. A right hand would stun Perez in the round’s closing seconds.
Broner walked down Perez in the third behind left hooks. In the fourth, Perez back-pedaled himself into the ropes and was caught by a straight right. Perez fell on his face and stumbled down on two attempts to get up by the time the referee’s reached thecount of ten.
“I wasnt trying to knock him out just beat on him,” said Broner in his post-fight interview. “Tenderize the meat then fry it.”
The win is Broner’s second defense of his WBO super featherweight title.
********************************************************************************************
Adrien Broner is living up to his nickname. He’s definitely a huge problem and likely too much for any current super featherweight out there. Eloy Perez was undefeated and expected by most to give Broner some tough rounds. Instead, Broner toyed with him from the opening bell. Like Max Kellerman alluded to in their post-fight interview, because of the lack of names Broner may soon decide to jump up to lightweight. Hopefully he doesn’t and decides to dominate at 130 to build his name up. Despite all his boasts, Broner is very much a work in progress and should strive to pick up another belt or two before considering weight-jumping.
