Perry started the fight by immediately rushing after Seals and pushing him in to the ropes. He kept aggressively trying to close the distance, but Seals remained composed before creating space and starting to work behind his jab. There were some exchanges late in the round, one of which put a mouse under Perry’s eye.
Seals came out showing his accuracy to start the second round, wobbling Perry with a stiff connection. Perry tried to bulldoze his way into the clinch, but Seals got the timing down. They continued to trade, and in the closing seconds Perry got hit hard and was forced to take a knee. The strike was ruled behind the head, though, and therefor no knockdown was granted.
Perry had a nice rebound round in the third frame. He started to show a better sense of when to attack as he pushed forward on Seals and threw punches in combination. Seals did a good job keeping his hands up and blocking most of the shots, but Perry’s aggression was promising.
It was all washed away in the opening seconds of Round 4, though, as Seals landed a beautiful counter left check hook that tagged Perry clean and dropped him briefly to his butt. Perry beat the count and the fight wore on, but Seals’ confidence was evident throughout the remainder of the fight as he worked Perry over with the jabs, hooks and uppercuts.
