00:00
but let's start at the top we were excited for the big boys leonardo el zombo perdomo versus
00:05
arnold bumay adams at heavyweight of course adams the former champion the 40-year-old american
00:10
hadn't fought since losing to mick terrell back in 2023 when he lost that title perdomo the 33
00:16
year old from cuba who now trains in miami almost 200 amateur boxing fights as part of the cuban
00:21
national team before becoming a pro fighter and coming over to the bkfc adams gonna have the height
00:27
he's gonna have the reach but he wasn't gonna have the power perdomo and that's what we're
00:31
leaning on we thought perdomo was going to get the first round ko because that's what perdomo does
00:35
seven fights before this first round ko is all within a minute and 40 so what does he do
00:39
first round ko once again another quick victory for him uh you know there was some controversy
00:46
some interesting stuff going on in this way as perdomo was coming right out right away at adams
00:49
you know trying to get him with some shots a drops with an uppercut early in the fight 24 seconds in
00:55
but then throws another uppercut while he's on his knees now adams took some time to get up didn't
01:00
take the full five minutes but took some time to recover and perdomo was kind of goading him
01:03
during that i mean dude you threw a full-on illegal uppercut you're lucky they didn't dq you and then
01:09
you're yelling at the guy to hurry up and get going he does because he's you know a champion he's got
01:13
that heart he gets back into it and perdomo later on drops him again a short right to the jaw
01:19
arnold goes down but perdomo's running around the ring you know again showboating being cocky
01:26
getting in the face of the restaurant to push him out of the way and because of that does not start
01:30
the count right away for arnold adams so by the time that arnold adams gets the call from the referee
01:36
about where he's hiding it it's seven eight nine ten so he freaks out thinking he got short counted
01:43
thinking you know that he never heard a count problem was the ref had to get perdomo out of the way
01:47
and because of that the count doesn't get to adams until it's too late he does not get back up he
01:53
loses fight is over perdomo is now eight no in the bkfc all by first round ko within a minute 40
01:59
adams now seven and four in the bkfc with back-to-back losses where does he stand in this
02:03
division now 40 years old the former champ we will see uh we'll hopefully get him back in there a lot
02:08
sooner than we did recently and see him against some of these other top level opponents to see if he is
02:11
still one of the best in the division but perdomo just thinking about one thing after that fight of
02:16
course and now mr president i need my bill i want my bill no more hey big boy what are you doing
02:28
where you at big boy where you at where you at big boy don't be scared don't be scared don't be scared
02:35
big boy don't be scared little boy nah nah nah you all respect me hey i call me for kill you ma
02:43
hey i know you're a big ass kid and i'm gonna break your head just come here and face me off
02:48
real quick and don't be scared don't be scared sign the culture sign the culture big boy let's go
02:54
of course big ben heavyweight champ allegedly fighting in australia in a super heavyweight
02:59
match perdomo wants to shot that belt we'll see if he gets it and he might have to wait a little while
03:04
but that's obviously the only guy left for him to fight in that heavyweight division we'll see when
03:08
that happens if it does also you had interim flyweight championship between gene the cutman
03:11
perez and andrew legend strode uh perez 36 year old from miami coming off back-to-back wins by ko tko
03:17
strode 20 year old from denver coming off a unanimous decision over tyler randall in february we talked
03:23
to strode a couple weeks ago we thought he win by decision he gets the win uh tko doctor stoppage
03:29
in the second round very interesting that uh you know perez came out strong you know come and try to
03:34
come right away with the the punches being aggressive coming across the ring but strode
03:39
kind of backed him up with some good shots early on and 24 seconds in kind of spins perez 360
03:44
somehow doesn't go down but that changed it now all of a sudden he's not as aggressive now he's
03:48
not coming as forward and that lets strode start to pick his opponent apart and do his thing both
03:52
guys you know looking for big shots having some good exchanges but i thought that strode won that
03:56
round 10-9 especially on that big shot that spun perez around then you get to the second round
04:00
both guys are kind of slowed down looking for their shots you know not trying to outswing the
04:05
other one and leave themselves open and then later in the round you get a bunch of uh things going on
04:10
where strode lands a right to the side of the ear you know it goes like it's gonna go to the head
04:15
doesn't really connect doesn't get the jaw doesn't get the the temple gets the ear of perez they go
04:21
after the round is over i had a 10-9 showed up 2018 both rounds but the ear is busted open of g perez
04:28
so they check it and dr right away says uh not happening because you know if you lose that part
04:34
of the year you're not reattaching it so they had to stop the fight but it's ruled a no contest
04:38
to surprise everybody surprise the commentator surprise strode you know he's sitting there
04:42
thinking i punched him busted his ear open doctor stops that's it they say it's a no contest saying
04:47
that it wasn't a punch that messed his ear up so unfortunately he gets all the juice and the
04:52
love taken away from him only to later on after the fight a couple days later the commission
04:57
goes back checks it out says you know what it was a punch that caused the injury the doctor stops it
05:01
from there that's a tk of victory for andrew strode but gets all the wind taken out of his
05:05
sails with uh you know that belt but not getting it that night he's now four and oh perez now five and two
