Professional career

Perdomo made his professional debut on June 5, 2002, stopping Dominican Jose Diaz by TKO.[1] In his next ten fights, Perdomo would go unbeaten, with half of his wins coming by knockout or stoppage. On October 22, 2005, Perdomo suffered his first defeat, against World champion, Mario Veit from Germany. Three wins later Perdomo won the WBA Fedelatin super middleweight title against Edison Francisco Guedes, a feat he would achieve again after vacating the title, when he defeated Hector Javier Velazco in 2008.

On September 12, 2009, Perdomo fought World Champion Mikkel Kessler at Messecenter Herning in Denmark. Kessler stopped Perdomo after four rounds.[2]

gollark: Yes.
gollark: `end` *end*s the, well, block of code inside the `if` statement.
gollark: You should do `if input == "qtreactor" then [whatever] elseif input == "qtprocess" [whatever] else [whatever]`.
gollark: Well, that messed up the control flow.
