Super middleweight contender Edgar Berlanga put Jason Quigley down four times en route to a unanimous-decision victory in a 12-round bout.
The official scores were 118-106, 116-108 and 116-108. Boxing Junkie scored it 115-109 for Berlanga.
Berlanga (21-0, 16 KOs) put Quigley (20-3, 14 KOs) down in Rounds 3 and 5 but seemed to clinch to victory by sending him to the canvas twice more in the final round.
The winner didn’t have an easy time against his Irish opponent, who did a good job of sticking and moving throughout the fight.
However, in the end, Berlanga kept the pressure on Quigley and outworked him. That and the knockdowns kept the Brooklyn fighter’s record perfect.

Cusumano has won three consecutive fights since he was stopped in one round by Daniel Dubois in August 2021. Kownacki (20-4, 15 KOs) has now lost four consecutive fights — three by knockout — which appears to signal the end of his career.
