Cabazon, CA - August 11, 2012 - Last night Gary Shaw Productions and Thompson Boxing Promotions' showcased a great show on ESPN2 "Friday Night Fights" at the Morongo Casino Resort and Spa in Cabazon, Calif. The 10-round main event, featuring Columbia's Darley Perez against Houston's Bahodir Mamadjonov ended in a dramatic split decision.

 

In the early rounds, Mamadjonov used his boxing skills to take a commanding lead, as he kept the fight in the middle of the ring, boxing on angles. He was the busier fighter for the first five rounds, but stated to fade down the stretch after throwing a lot of power punches.

 

Perez got into his grove in the middle rounds when he started to let his hands go. Perez started to find a home for his overhand right, and in the sixth round, landed it, give a welt on the left cheek bone of Mamadjonov. In round eight, Perez caught Mamadjonov with that same overhand right, sending the Kazakhstan native to the canvas for the first time in his career.

 

Going into the last round it was even and both fighters had to dig deep to make a final impression on the judges. When it was all said and done, Perez (26-0, 19 KOs) won a split decision, while Mamadjonov (11-1, 7 KOs) suffered his first loss. One judge had it 95-94 for Mamadjonov, while the others had it 96-93 and 95-94 for Perez. Both fighters felt they won the fight.
