  • Pierce would not last 3 rounds against The Monster. However, this is a great win by a cool guy with limited talents. Congratulations.

  • Announce team really selling the scientific explosiveness of the straight left that had no business knocking out any main event fighter.

  • Plania’s nothing special, but he is decent and he doesn’t lose fights like this. I can’t imagine Fulton would fight him, but maybe Aleem or Crazy A, someone else coming off a big loss, next for Pierce. Clearly he deserves a step-up.

  • The WBC OTX Title? Just what boxing needs from these sanctioning body clowns…
