@piercerdan

I'm on the same page. There were a lot of shots that would have dented the average skull. God Dan that was exciting.

This is kind of a pointless question I guess, but I'm seeing all these comments about the un-finishable Dan Miller, you guys think Palhares would have finished him in the first if not for the early celebration?

Yes I think so. He would have just teed off until Herb stopped it.
