Professional career

Peribán won his pro debut against Oscar Solis by third round knock-out.[5] Periban is a very skilled fighter with one of the hardest punches of Mexican Boxing history and one of the few bright spots for Mexican boxing above 160 pounds.

The fight lasted just 33 seconds as Peribán knocked Savage out with a fast left-right combination in the first round.
