Huge fight for Perez. There's been a lot of talk about Jennings recently.

I'd love to see Perez win because of the Irish connection but Jennings is a very good fighter, Tall order for Perez

Especially coming off his last fight when he stank the place out and was lucky not to pick up a loss.

Yeah a chat maybe, I'd say Kenny might be better off leaving off the spar lol

I didnt know Perez sparred with Deontay Wilder in the past.He says here he sparred with him in Ireland in 2011.

Fight is off...Perez has injured his shoulder apparently...in reality, I'd say it's more of a mental injury rather than physical injury Mike has...shame

Corpus Christi, Texas

Daniel Geale (No. 3) vs. Matthew Macklin (No. 5)
10 rounds – Middleweight division

Johner

The card is off now.

Macklin is raging about this. Reckons the injury was faked to free up Geale for a Golovkin fight.

Spazdarn

Seen the twitter rant alright, hard to know really.

Doesn't seem wise for Mike to be pulling out of fights at this stage of his career. He's nowhere near active enough

Macklin was spot on. Perez suddenly doesn't need surgery anymore and K2 are putting Perez-Jennings on the Golovkin undercard.
