Miguel Berchelt TKO7 Edixon Perez... With Mexican boxing legends in attendance, ex-130-pound champion Miguel “Alacran” Berchelt overwhelmed Venezuela's Edixon Perez, who did not come out for round eight. In round seven, Berchelt dished out a torrent of crunching body punches and combos to the head which produced showers of sweat. The lightweight fight was at the UAT gym in the Poliforo, in Reynosa, Mexico. The lively, sporting and appreciative crowd included Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., Carlos Zarate, Alfonso Zamora, Erik Morales, José Luis Castillo, Cristian Mijares and Jhonny González. Berchelt is now 42-3 after winning his first outing of 2025. Perez is now 30-14-1. Afterward, the winner said: “He was tough, but I wore him down and broke him down. Round seven was when I applied severe pressure with so many punches and I am delighted with this belt. Now I want to fight for the WBC lightweight belt and bring it home.”

 

UNDERCARD

 

Flyweight Sheyla  Moreno Castillo and Brisa Sarahi Olivia went at it from the opening bell. With her pigtail purposefully bobbing,  Castilo connected to head and body, but taller southpaw Olivia countered with a solid left hook and a stinging right jab. For the final twenty seconds of the eight-round fight, both women unloaded every punch in the book on each other and neither took a step back. It brought the crowd to their feet.  Both had given their all and the judges scored it a draw.

 

At junior welterweight, David Moreno Potrero's work rate earned him an eight-round unanimous decision win over lanky José Luis Vazquez.
