[@bensalas1009]

It was a good experience for Abena however he's just not ready for this level of opponent. Abena is so game and has a lot of potential, he stayed in Pereira's face but Pereira is just so much more skilled and patient he was just biding his time and setting his much younger opponent up. At 21, Abena has plenty of time to grow and could be a future champion.
