‘I Felt a Little Low Winded in There’: Raymond Ford Reacts to His Draw Against Aaron Perez

The Roman Gonzalez vs Juan Estrada fight card comprised an exemplary matchup between Raymond Ford and Aaron Perez. The fans expected a classic in this encounter and wished to see the best pugilist win. Unfortunately for them, the fight ended with a distressing draw.

Post the battle, Ford interacted with Matchroom Boxing and shed some light on this fight.

He said, “I felt a little low winded in there. But it was a lot throwing me off. He was wrestling with his head, hit me with an elbow, cut my eye.”

Both Ford and Perez put their undefeated streak on the line against each other. The fight began well, and the pair gave each other a stern test of their skill sets.

Right from the first gong, ‘Savage’, the favorite in this fight tried walking down Aaron Perez. But he felt that ‘Angel Baby’ was throwing him off and not really engaging in a tussle.

Despite the alleged elbow and eye, he fought well and kept himself and his opponent on his toes throughout the 8 round bout. However, the judges concluded this contest as a draw, as they couldn’t really define who the winner was.

This fight was extremely important for both the pugilists, as the winner could have landed a massive bout with any of the top-10 featherweights.
