Kane came out and took the first five rounds, with his opponent failing to hit the mark in the fifth. After that, things completely swung in Perez' favour as he took a few close decisions from the judegs, and registered the only knock down of the match.
After several close calls in the second and eighth rounds, rocking Kane heavily, it was in a dominating tenth round from the Argentine that saw the Scouser fall to the deck. He regained his feet but looked rather glass-eyed for the remainder of the match. It was also here that Kane was cut around his right eye; he would later be opened up again in the twelfth, this time inside the mouth.
In the other corner, Perez' team was furious as their man was given a one point penalty for picking up his third foul. He collected two in this single round: a low blow (one of three he dished out during the bout) and then for a push. This would be his undoing as Kane barely managed to survive and take victory.
