There were some exchanges late in the round, one of which put a mouse under Perry’s eye.
Seals came out showing his accuracy to start the second round, wobbling Perry with a stiff connection. Perry tried to bulldoze his way into the clinch, but Seals got the timing down.

Perry beat the count and the fight wore on, but Seals’ confidence was evident throughout the remainder of the fight as he worked Perry over with the jabs, hooks and uppercuts.
