This was an epicly good fight. Daley came out stong and Dan absorbed a lot of Daley'isms (No, not punches after the bell, legal strikes). Dan brought it on in the late-second, early 3rd, and this was a back and forth super-fest from then on. Both guys in the deep red when this one was over. I is impressed.
