The scores were 97-93 for Perrella, 96-94 for Salgado and 95-95.

It was a technical contest in the first round, with both boxing. The second was a battle of jabs. Perrella's jab was controlling things in the third and fourth.

Salgado was starting to get a bit more active in the fifth, but still getting outworked and got cracked with a big uppercut. Salgado was letting his hands go more in the sixth and seventh to make things very close, as Perrella was not using his jab as much.

After a close eight, Perrella went back om the jab in the ninth to box. More of the same in the tenth, as they boxed very close.
