Was the fight stoppage too premature? Dan gives his takes and also discusses the undercard.Then, the guys move on to Edgar Berlanga's win in his Matchroom Boxing promotional debut in NYC. Berlanga did not get the KO but still got the win over tough Jason Quigley in the 12 round main event. Dan has more on what he thought of Beranga's performance and what could be upcoming? Also, on the undercard, heavyweight Joe Cusumano pummeled Adam Kownacki to a fourth straight defeat and it's clearly time for Kownacki to hang it up with the punishment he keeps taking in loss after loss.Next, hear Dan 1 on 1 with unbeaten welterweight Vergil Ortiz, as he headlines on July 8th for Golden Boy Promotions in San Antonio, TX against Eimantas Stanionis.

Dan was ringside for that one.And, it's incredibly been 35 years since Mike Tyson destroyed Michael Spinks in 90 seconds in Atlantic City to retain the undisputed heavyweight champ.
