This card, which was the first Boxing card in a stretch of four  separate cards by four different promoters in a five day period throughout the state of Florida, showcased some of the up and coming talent in the Undisputed Promotions stable and produced a little of everything. Knockouts, competitive fights, and unfortunately two fighters becoming ill under similar circumstances, which this observer will admit in all the years I have covered Boxing and by extension combat sports, this was the first time I had seen something like this occur twice on the same card. While hopefully Luca Bergers and Adrian Orban from what ever illness they might have contracted prior to their respective bouts, it should not be overlooked that the Florida State Athletic Commission in both instances did the right thing and immediately stopped both bouts once it became apparent that both fighters were ill. While it does leave a question hanging over this card as to what the two fighters may have been suffering from, it does not change what was overall an entertaining night of Boxing in Kissimmee.
