Mike Perry may have been unsuccessful in his fight with Jake Paul but he still received praise for his toughness.

"Platinum" may not be an experienced boxer or someone that can match Paul for size but he was always going to be a tough opponent to get out of there.

He did eventually get stopped in the sixth round but as expected with someone like Perry, many would have crumbled much earlier on.

What makes this even more impressive, and something that Perry is able to take out of this fight, is that he was compromised from the very first punch that his opponent landed.

Mike Perry Reveals That Jake Paul Broke His Rib With The First Punch That He Landed

Perry appeared on BS w/ Jake Paul where they spoke about the fight and revealed new details about how it all went down.

During the podcast, the former UFC fighter said that he is going to take some time off for his rib to recover after it was broken in the opening 10 seconds of the fight.

He said that he was so focused on keeping his hands up that it left an opening for Paul which he successfully took advantage of from the opening bell.

With his body badly injured, Perry was forced to drop his guard which left him more susceptible to head strikes which eventually closed the show on him.

First 10 seconds, that first punch you hit me with, you popped me. Because look, I knew people were going to be like, 'Put your hands up,' Right, so I come out and I'm like this with my hands up and my rib was wide open. You hit me in the rib and I was like, 'F*** that's it, I'm putting my hands down.' You popped it right away and I fought through it I mean there's something, there's pieces I can take that I can be proud of but you know, I think it was fair and square.
