Lenier Pero vs Jordan Thompson – results and post-fight report
Cuban heavyweight Lenier Pero won the Caribe Royale in Orlando on Saturday and won a 10-round decision over Britain’s Jordan Thompson on Saturday.
Pero (13-0, 8 KO) returned after the April break, where he played 10 rounds for the first time and won clearly on points against Detrailous Webster in Orlando, while Thompson (15-2, 12 KO) was last seen over two years ago, losing heavily in four rounds to IBF world champion Jai Opetaia.
Pero quickly got out of the blocks, beating the guy in the first round, and then in the second round he caught the Englishman in the middle of the pitch with powerful shots.
In the third period, Thompson responded with punches of his own to the 32-year-old’s body, but the Cuban responded in kind and Thompson looked quite distracted as he spoke to Jarrell Miller including at ringside and after his corner kick as he allowed Pero to tip over round after round.
After battling rust, “Troublesome” seemed content to get through the entire contest, but when Pero himself slowed down in seventh place, Thompson was successful and also benefited from Pero’s points deduction for a low blow.
In the eighth, the pair traded for a bodysuit, then “El Justiciero” found his second wind, and in the ninth, a combination caught Thompson off guard and pushed him toward the ropes.
The 32-year-old bravely maintained the pace and also reached the final round to complete the distance of 10 rounds.
Two scores of 96-93 and the third 97-93 made Pero the winner and the novel WBA Continental champion.
Pero is third in the WBA rankings, behind “super” champion Oleksandr Usyk and “regular” titleholder, Kubrat Pulev and Cuban called out the aforementioned Miller after the fight.
Brown attacks Valera
Pat Brown (5-0, 5 KO) impressed again and remained excellent, with the Manchester cruiserweight defeating Felix Valera in two rounds.
Valera (24-9, 21 KO), who fought at the distance against undisputed delicate heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol earlier in his career, was on the board multiple times before the fight was canceled.

Eddie Hearn responds to the announcement of the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight with three words
Conah Walker returns to the ring next weekend and will face Sam Eggington.
The winner of the Walker vs. Eggington fight may have a chance to win the welterweight world title.
Since the defeat in 2024, “Wolf” has been in excellent form, boasting an impressive series of four victories in the season, the last three of which ended by knockout.
The last defeat in the career of the Wolverhampton fighter came at the hands of the current IBF world champion Lewis Crocker.
He overcame “The Croc” the distance and, in many people’s eyes, was unlucky not to receive recognition on the judges’ scorecards, which showed a unanimous victory for the Irishman.
He returned just two months after this defeat and in Birmingham he faced Lewis Ritson, whom he defeated over the distance.
Walker was the underdog against Harry Scarff in Nottingham and lost most, if not all, of the rounds until the 11th round before landing a series of punches in the penultimate round that forced the referee to stop the fight.
In his last fight, “The Wolf” was once again the clear underdog, beating Olympic silver medalist Pat McCormack in Monaco.
Walker performed well throughout the fight, but fell on two judges’ scorecards before the final round.
The Wolverhampton player took the ball out of the bag and scored a dramatic goal in the last round.
He will face Sam Eggington, a tough opponent also from the West Midlands.
Eggington’s last defeat was to former world champion Abass Baraou, who defeated him by majority vote.
Since then, he has had wins over Alan Velazquez and Lee Cutler.
“The Savage” was injured in his last fight against Cutler and the injury forced the referee to stop the fight early, so he is hopeful that the fight will not be restarted against Walker.
