Next, the rest of the card analysis includes heavyweight Adam Kownacki being beaten decisively again, this time on a 10 round decision by Ali Eren Demirezen. While Demirezen deserves credit for the great tactical fight he fought, the guys wonder if this should be Kownacki's last bout, as he's suffered three straight defeats and taking tons of punishment in all of them?And, Dan has thoughts on the controversial stoppage in the Gary Antuanne Russell Rances Barthalemey fight that started the Showtime broadcast.
