Perez is the current California State Lightweight champion, and hopes to add some more hardware on Friday. Perez comes into Friday's bout with a record of 20-5 with 14KOs. His big win came earlier this year when he upset former contender Yoni Vargas. Perez has good power, but showed he could win a decision also when he beat Gustavo Tapia by unanimous decision in July.
