Taduran, who relocated to Southern California in January to further his career, tells BoxingScene that he took his time against Perez, now 16-2 (5 KOs), despite knocking him down twice in the fourth with body punches. Taduran, a southpaw, again knocked down Perez, a 27-year-old from Ensenada, Mexico, in the sixth – this time with a left cross to the jaw before the fight was waved off a round later.
