Gutted that Perry lost, but he lost fairly squarely.

He carries his hands too low (especially his left). I understand he has crazy power, but good boxers are gonna pick him apart every time if he doesn't correct that.

Can Till take a shot? I forget if he is tough in that way?

If Perry can withstand Till's shots, it would be a mad fight to watch.

Techniquely Till is better, but can he handle Perry's toughness for 3 or 5 rounds?

Not sure if Till's tough in that way? enlighten me on this one.

One for the future if Perry can crack the top 10.
I don't see perry doing well in a 5 round fight with anyone. He's as dangerous as they get in the first 2 though.

And if he upped his TD/TDD/Ground game so that it would be a big threat it would help with landing those big shots. Has potential to be a good sprawl n brawl which guy which wouldn't be a huge step out of his current game.

A little extra cardio would benefit him as well. Power shot guys tend to bonk out if they can't land the KO shot.

After this weekend, the Darren Till fight doesn't seem like the best idea for MP at this point.

Anyone know what gym he trains out of? I heard a thing yesterday from the Florian/Anik podcast (or whatever show they have), and Kenny was saying that Mike needs to get to a real gym with some real training partners. Sounds like a good plan, but I have no idea what Mike is currently doing for training.

I think he trains out of a few different gyms in the Orlando area.

lueVelvet @lueVelvet can shed some knowledge on this

He mainly trains out of a UFC gym in Winter Springs but he does go to Fusion X-Cel and ATT Orlando for BJJ and additional MMA stuff. My wife sees him on occasion at ATT Orlando and I’ve seen him there during belt promotions.

Mike Perry is a goldmine for quotes thanks to his interesting interviews, he pulls hilarious or random shit at every weigh-in, has KO power in all his limbs, speaks in ebonics etc .. what's not to like? Platinum Princess brings a lot to the table too, balancing Mike's personality. They're all living the dream out there in Florida.

I could talk all day about specific stuff I like about Mike Perry, the guy is just real AF.
