Change of opponents is nothing new for Abraham Perez. 

In his previous fight last April, he took on the tough Joronil Borres, who was also a last-minute replacement. 

“It’s just business as usual for me. Nothing has changed in my thought process,“ said Perez at the Perez Gym Tuesday. 

“My game plan is the same as always. See how things go the first round and then make my adjustments," he added.

Perez was a little disappointed in the change, but he’ll be ready no matter who Is in front of him. 

“Sometimes it’s a bummer when you prepare and then the opponent changes. It’s part of boxing, but I still have a job to do and that’s the mindset I will have," Perez said.
