Filipino Rey Perez, a late substitute, has been knocked out by WBO No. 1 ranked super bantamweight Jessie Magdaleno in the main event of a fight card at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, Arizona.
The unbeaten Magdaleno who is also rated No. 3 by the WBA, No. 5 by the IBF and No. 10 by the WBC, dominated Perez before nailing him with a vicious body shot to end the contest at 2:51 of the 7th round of a scheduled ten-round bout.
With the win the 24 year old southpaw Magdaleno improved to 23-0 with 17 knockouts while the 25 year old Perez dropped to 20-8-5 with 5 knockouts.
Magdaleno is the mandatory challenger to WBO super bantamweight champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire who is scheduled to defend his title against Hungarian Olympian Zsolt Bedak at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on April 23.
Magdaleno was originally scheduled to face another Filipino Edward Mansito who apparently failed to get a US visa and was replaced by Perez who last fought on August 1 last year when he lost by a one-sided decision to Chris Avalos.
