Philip Hergovich back in the win column, dominates Dave Allen, stops him in three rounds with a bevy of right hands, a couple left hooks to the body. Good performance from Hergovich. Dave Allen is fan-friendly. He's the hometown guy. Hergovich even said afterwards, he's like, I'm sorry I had to do this to your guy, but they're just different levels. And Hergovich now looks like is in line to fight Moses Atalma. Now, this is a big step-up for Atalma. I think it's a great fight. I think it's a good fight. I think it's a good step in Moses Atalman's career if he's going to be that guy. If he's going to be the next future heavyweight star, you've got to get through a guy like Ergovich. But it's a big step. It could be a bridge too far. I think Ergovich is a very dangerous guy. 20-1, 15 KOs, 6'6", 80-something-inch reach. Dangerous guy. Dangerous step up. It's not the step up you normally see for Atalman the way you would think would be next. They've jumped a few notches, but they believe in Atalma. But this is a good fight. And I think that it's one where we're not just going to sit there and be like, oh, OK, Atalma's going to blow right through this guy. I think we're going to learn some things about Moses Atalma. If he is going to be the future of the heavyweight division, I think we're going to figure it out when he fights Filip Bergovic.
