The Business is officially Finished.

Sergio "Time to Shine" Perales (13-0, 8 KO’s) made it clear on Saturday night that he means all business when he defeated Jose Garcia Bernal in TKO manner in the 10th round, to become the new IBA Continental Bantamweight Champ as well as the Mid Americas Bantamweight Champion.

In a bout that was labeled as "Unfinished Business", Perales showed the hometown crowd of Brownsville, TX that he is legitimately a contender for a world title down the not so distant future.

At a near sold out crowd at Brownsville's Jacob Brown Auditorium Sergio "Time to Shine" Perales again did not disappoint. He clearly showed through out the fight that he was quicker, stronger, and in better shape than his counterpart Bernal. Perales knocked Bernal to the canvas twice before the 10th round TKO; once in the second round which came on the last second of the round then again at the end of round number seven.
