Trainer Bob Santos was delighted with the recent victory of his Cuban heavyweight charge Dainier Pero, who scored a first round knockout of Jose Mario Tamez in Florida last week.

Santos, who trains Pero in Las Vegas, said: “For a big man, his footwork is incredible. Not only does he have great feet, this skillset and power is off the charts. With each fight, he continues to prove why he's considered one of the top prospects in boxing.”

Pero, (7-0, 5 KOs), secured a spectacular early victory over Tamez (4-4, 1 KO) of Monterey, MX. 

With the win Pero, who is promoted by Amaury Piedra’s BoxLab Promotions, maintained his undefeated record, further solidifying his status as one of the most promising talents in the heavyweight division. 

In a display of precision and ferocity, Pero unleashed his trademark straight left to the head followed by a devastating right hook to the body. While Tamez showed heart, he struggled to withstand the onslaught and the referee intervened. It was a straight left to the mid-section that ended the fight.

Pero said he wants to face leading contenders moving forwards.

"I had a great training camp and I’m ready to take on all the top prospects in the heavyweight division. Each fight is an opportunity for me to prove myself and continue my journey towards the top.I’m incredibly grateful for the support of my team and the guidance from my promoter Amaury Piedra and Coach Santos, as well as Most Valuable Prospects.” concluded Pero, who was a standout amateur from Camaguey, Cuba. “Together, we're shaping my career in the right direction, and I couldn't be happier with the progress we're making." 

The Most Valuable Prospects aired the fight live on DAZN this past Friday from the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, FL.
